Harry Hill - In Conversation
from Beyond The Title · host Josh Barry
Beloved writer and comedian Harry Hill swapped a career in medicine for comedy in 1992 when he won the prestigious Perrier award at the Edinburgh Fringe. Just a year later Hill landed his own Radio 4 sketch series Harry Hill’s Fruit Corner which featured guest stars including the legendary Ronnie Corbett and spawned a BBC2 spin off series Harry Hill’s Fruit Fancies. Yet a move to Channel Four in 1997 for his self titled sketch show would set the foundation for the rest of his career as he offered platforms to TV newcomer Al Murray and cult hero Burt Kwock. In October 2001 Hill moved to ITV to front the show that arguably defined his career. Harry Hill’s TV Burp took an irreverent and frequently bizarre glimpse at that week’s television output and found the funny in the most extraordinary TV moments. While at ITV Harry lent his voice to the home video public access show You’ve Been Framed until 2022. More recently, Harry returned to Channel Four as the face of Junior Bake Off and has written two stage plays. I caught up with one of the most original characters in British comedy to talk; heroes, burps and his recollections on his life in comedy. Ladies and gentlemen Harry Hill.
