Hal is unashamedly suburban, teetering on the edge of a mid-life crisis. According one critic, ‘he takes the personal and the ridiculous, then whizzes them into a delicious comedy smoothie.’ He's appeared on Celebrity Chase , Richard Osman’s House of Games, and Celebrity Mastermind.

Hal's comedy is perfect for corporate audiences. He's instantly endearing - with McIntyre-style energy, stage presence (and campness) along with wonderfully self deprecating put-downs. I’m still laughing at the gag about ignoring his child's schooling because she didn't ask him about his own day.
