Born:
October 01, 1964
in
Woking, Surrey
Best Known For:
His zany humour.
Early-life:
Born Matthew Keith Hall on October 1, 1964, in Woking, Surrey. He's one of five children. The family later moved to Kent and spent two years in Hong Kong. After doing well at his A Levels, Hall studied at St George's Hospital Medical School in London. He worked for several years as a junior doctor, then in 1990 toyed with the idea of becoming a full-time stand-up comedian. When none of his superiors at Doncaster Royal Infirmary discouraged him from doing so, he quit medicine.
Career:
In 1993, after doing the rounds at comedy clubs, Hall, now calling himself Harry Hill, launched Radio 4 show Fruit Corner, which ran for four years. In 1994, he wrote and starred in experimental TV series Fruit Fancies, before appearing in three seasons of Harry Hill on Channel 4. In 2001, he moved to ITV, where The All-New Harry Hill Show proved a winner with fans. TV Burp, a look back at the week's TV, became hugely popular, although to the horror of its fans, Hill announced the 2012 series would be its last. In 2013, The Harry Hill Movie was released, and in March 2014 his musical, I Can't Sing! The X Factor Musical, opened in London. He's also the narrator of You've Been Framed!, and continues to tour and write books.
Quote:
'I was bullied at school, called all kinds of different names. But one day I turned to my bullies and said 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me', and it worked! From there on it was sticks and stones all the way.'
Trivia:
In 2014, Hill received an honorary doctorate from the University of Kent.
