Hal Cruttenden - Stand Up, Writer, Actor

Certainly not your typical comedian - and this is where he wins hands down over most others. Instead of relying on tired, old cliches for his humour, he actively sets out to attack and dismantle them, thus opening up those obvious new ways of seeing the world. Immensely satisfying.

Omid Djalili show flying high in ratings

Categories: Acting, Writing, Television

13 December 2007

Omid Djalili's BBC 1 television show, which Hal has appeared in and also written extensively for, is holding it's own in the ratings and there are strong hopes for a second series.

Although it received a mixed media reception, which is not unusal considering it was given it's first outing in the Saturday night evening slot on BBC1, it has a growing fan base. The show's ratings are beating ITV, now 'I'm a Celeb' is off the air,  and Omid may well be on his way to becoming the Iranian Dave Allen of our times.
