Comedy night in Wareham with Hal Cruttenden
Hal Cruttenden will be coming to Wareham as part of his UK tour, bringing with him a brand-new show that’s set to take a cheeky swipe at ‘The Man’—just as long as ‘The Man’ doesn’t strike back.
Armed with his trademark, hard-hitting humour (his words, not ours!), Hal dives headfirst into the chaos of modern life, from the perils of middle-aged dating and the grip of social media to the baffling world of contemporary politics. He also reflects on family life, admitting that while his daughters certainly love him, the respect part is… questionable—and he’s fairly sure you’ll feel the same way by the end of the night.
Razor-sharp wit
As one of the UK’s top stand-up comedians—as well as an accomplished writer and actor—Hal Cruttenden has built a reputation for razor-sharp wit, big laughs and brilliantly observed chaos. His comedy credentials are extensive, and his live shows consistently sell out across the country.
TV appearances
Hal is a familiar face on TV, having appeared multiple times on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week, and The Royal Variety Performance. He’s also popped up on favourites including Bake Off: Extra Slice, The Apprentice: You’re Fired, Would I Lie To You?, Pointless Celebrities, House of Games, and many more. He even wrote and starred in his own Radio 4 sitcom, Hal, co-written with Dominic Holland.

Stand-Up Success
Hal’s previous tours—Chubster, Tough Luvvie, Straight Outta Cruttenden and It’s Best You Hear It From Me—have taken him nationwide and beyond, with several recordings now streaming on Amazon Prime. A three-time Chortle Award nominee and a Perrier Newcomer nominee at the Edinburgh Fringe, Hal continues to cement his place among Britain’s comedy elite.
Beyond the Comedy Stage
Trained at the central School of Speech and Drama, Hal has enjoyed a varied acting career with roles in Shackleton, EastEnders, Kavanagh QC, Touching Evil, and the film Mrs Dalloway. His theatre work includes productions at the Edinburgh Festival and London’s Trafalgar Studios.
Kuan-wen Huang
Supporting Hal Cruttenden on the night is Kuan-wen Huang, an award-nominated comedian, writer and actor described by Chortle as a “Taiwanese force of nature.” London-based, Kuan-wen has appeared on Comedy Central, BBC Radio 4 and Channel 4, with his debut show Ilha Formosa earning a spot in The Guardian’s Top 10 Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe and selling out at Soho Theatre before touring across Europe.
