Comedy PR
PR for comedians and comedy shows
In 2014, comedy reviewer and author of ‘The Cult Guide To British Comedy’, Julian Hall, made the ‘poacher turned gamekeeper’ move from journalist to PR. With a little black book full of contacts, and a business card (like a small cardboard website) featuring not one but two Marvin Gaye puns, he launched Textual Healing PR.
Since then, he has built a reputation as “an incredible PR and genuine human being” and a glowing track record of success promoting acts taking shows to the Edinburgh Fringe and on UK tours.
PR clients past and present include: Geoff Norcott, Ian Smith, Laura Lexx, Spencer Jones, Sam Nicoresti, Olaf Falafel, Pierre Novellie, Bella Hull, Milo Edwards, Rebecca Humphries, Rosalie Minnitt, Chris Cantrill, Chelsea Birkby, Alex Kealy, Ed Patrick, Sarah Roberts and Robin Morgan.
