About Julian Hall
I’m a freelance writer, comedy PR and director. Before juggling these hats, I was The Independent’s comedy critic for ten years between 2003-2013 and, during that time, wrote The Rough Guide to British Cult Comedy.
Since becoming a PR, I’ve worked with acts including Laura Lexx, Geoff Norcott, Spencer Jones, Rebecca Humphries, Olaf Falafel, Rosalie Minnitt, Kat Bond, Chelsea Birkby, Pierre Novellie, Bilal Zafar and Simon Munnery.
I’ve also directed a number of Edinburgh Fringe shows (Bilal Zafar, Sasha Ellen, Pierre Novellie and Inder Manocha) and given show notes on many more, including for Glenn Moore, Isma Almas, Matt Winning and Alex Edelman.
Outside of work, I ran the SE1 Comedy night in London Bridge (including some fitfully passable sets #lol) and created and co-hosted the live online show Let’s Kill Twitter (2020-2022) with a series of top comedian guests.
