Hal is back with a brand-new show that promises to stick it to The Man, as long as The Man doesn't stick it back to him. With his trademark hard-hitting 'take no prisoners comedy' (this is what Hal told me to write!) he will be hilariously pontificating on subjects like middle-aged dating, social media, the insanity of modern politics and the fragility of marriage – look at the stats! ***** (Mirror). ***** (Daily Record). 'Reminded me of how much I love stand-up' **** (Times).
