Due to overwhelming public demand the much-loved come

fter a 2-year hiatus from

Rather touchingly, he asked his teenage daughters what
title would best sum him up.
They said
‘
Chubster
’
. Hal
’
s now back on the 5:2 diet and onstage in a hilarious sh
ow
that not only touches on his usual moans about being a m
iddle-aged, middle class
father of fat-shaming teenagers but also introduces us
to new problems like his
struggles with IQ tests, political zealots and the trauma
of supporting the England
rugby team.
“
I can
’
t wait to get back on the road
”
says Hal.
“

ve immediately got something in
common. We both love me!
