He’s also a Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Nominee and So You Think You’re Funny Finalist, was seen on ITV’s FHM Comedy Hero and performed at the highly respected Big Value Comedy Showcase in Edinburgh in 2011. “Hutchinson’s trump card is the way he interacts with the audience, rolling with every ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ his material generated, giving a dynamism and spontaneity to his performance” – Chortle Carl will be supported by Jenny Collier & MC Stephen Grant Jenny Collier, described as a rising star by the national press, has won the Laughing Horse New Act Competition and the Hobgoblin Comedy Award, placed second in the NATYS (formerly Hackney Empire New Act of the Year), and reached the finals of countless other competitions.
