Hal Cruttenden's been on the tellybox ... found this clip of him on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow .. enjoy. His UK tour has started - judging by his recent tweets, he's having a whale (is that how you spell it) of a time ... Follow him on Twitter here. He plays the Slade Rooms on 25th November

Comedian Mark Watson's been doing all kinds of things for Kindness Day (no, we hadn't heard of it either). These acts of kindness involved tipping a barista in a coffee shop, messaging his mates on Twitter and giving money to a poppy appeal, even tho he already had a poppy. He also gave away tickets to his upcoming UK tour to the best sob story. Now THAT'S kindness. Catch him at The Wulfrun Hall on 1st December.

Arch Enemy are bravely opening themselves up to fan questions, as they head out on their UK tour. Head to The Gauntlet for more details ... . The band are also promising to record a video message about their new album from the London show ... watch this space. Get tickets for their show at The Wulfrun Hall on 25th November here ...
