Harry Hill - First Class Scamp - Live
Background Information: Harry Hill [Top] Harry Roy Hill is the stage name of Matthew Hall, a stand-up comedian who has graduated to being a star of British television by way of a BBC radio series Harry Hills Fruit Corner. Harry Hill is one of an elite team of alternative British comics associated with the Avalon comedy family. Other careers launched from this gun barrel include those of Richard Herring, Stewart Lee, Dave Gorman, Simon Munnery, Frank Skinner, David Baddiel & Al Murray. Matthew Hall is very fond of visual gimmicks & there are several associated with his Harry Hill character. Among these are the bald head, the thick black eyeglasses, pens in the top pocket, small badges on the lapel and, most famously, a comically oversized shirt collar. Hills humour is quirky almost to the point of surrealism. In way of illustrating this, the comedy historian Oliver Double described Hill as being Ronnie Corbett possessed by the ghost of Salvador Dali. As almost every newspaper interview or profile of Harry Hill will reveal, his real-life alter ego, Matthew, is a qualified medical doctor. Background Information: Live [Top]
Consumer DVD Review [Top] I went to see this performance live & it was unbelievable. The only time I stopped laughing was at the interval... :) Unfortunately the tour is over....
