Harry Hill


Harry Hill isn't on TV much these days, but he was always amongst my very favourite comedians.

I once went to a show of his at The Theatre Royal here in Brighton; it was without doubt the funniest evening of my life.

This very short video comes from his TV show 'TV Burp'. A classic of the style of clips he showed.

One of my real hates, is people who don't speak clearly. Mumbling has become 'fashionable' (especially amongst actors); so here are some good examples. Enjoy!


And don't ask me what they're saying (except for the final one) because I don't have a clue.

  2. Harry Hill's real name is Matthew Hall. He was once a urologist at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

    1. Yes, but I'm sure he's a better comic that medic.

  3. I cannot abide TV shows like that with the laughter that sounds canned.

    1. Canned laughter is horrible, but now I can't imagine his show without it.

  4. Watch some old stuff Cro. I hate background music thats louder than the dialogue. They seem to think it makes the film more exciting!
