Harry Hill

Advantages: He is very funny
Disadvantages: none

...Doctor, changed his name to Harry Hill, and with his bald head and large collars, and thick black spectacles he took Edinburgh by storm in 1992 winning the Perrier Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Shortly after this he had his own series on BBC Radio 4 called Harry Hill's Fruit Corner. His shift to Channel 4 TV in 1997 saw the beginning of The Harry Hill Show. This show was basically an updated for TV version of his Fruit Corner ...
...with the instant hit Harry Hill's TV Burp in which he takes the total **** out of the soaps and TV in general. This venture earned him a nomination for a Golden Rose of Montreux. This program is currently in it's 6th series. Also on ITV was the bigger budget version of his Channel 4 show. In 2004 he became the fourth presenter of You've been framed, but in this case he was the narrator rather than an actual physical presenter. Hill is an established ... Read review

I have just watched the latest edition of Mr. Hill 'TV Burp' and I must say that it is really nice to see a comedian relying on just stupid childishness instead of resorting to insults and foul language. Harry Hill is always good clean fun and never offensive. If you missed the episode catch it during the week on one of the ITV channels - you won't be disappointed.

Advantages: Funny, Silly, Absurd, Surreal, Bizarre
Disadvantages: If you don't like Harry Hill you won't like this

...Many of you will know that Harry Hill is a stand-up comedian and a brilliant one at that. Many of you may not know that he has written a fictional novel and that it is probably the most surreal and humorous book in the whole world!! I’ve been a huge fan of Harry Hill for ages, he leaves my stitches whenever I go and see his impressive live shows or whenever I re-watch one of his videos. You may have seen his programme on ITV1 ‘Harry Hills TV Burp’ where he routinely pokes fun at the weeks television offerings. The surreal and absurd nature of the book begins on the front cover which shows a picture of a stunt motorcyclist jumping over 6 people, however, the motorcyclist is Harry Hill as are the six people on the floor. Each Harry Hill face is making an odd expression! But onto the contents in the book itself. Just before the start... Read review

Advantages: For adults and kids alike
Disadvantages: I read it all in an hour

...That fine line between Children and Adults material - not many can write something that balances on it. Particularly if it involves humour. Harry Hill's second book tells the story of Tim The Tiny Horse who, and you won't need reminding, is a very small horse! This hardback of short stories takes us through the day to day dilemma's of Tim and his best friend Fly (no prizes for guessing what he is)... Tim tries to get a job on TV, takes a trip into town, tries the internet, gets a girlfiend and takes an interest in reality TV. The clever twist in each story is that there's a 'lesson' that's been learnt by Tim at the end - which may help kids learn about various subjects... but really it's the humour that stands out. In typical style Harry uses his imagination in only a way that he can - I laughed from the opening paragraph right up... Read review

Advantages: great storyline, great characters
Disadvantages: the plot is SLIGHTLY unbelievable!

..."I read this book in one sitting and absolutely loved it. Funny, sweet and sharp, with a wonderful story." Graham Norton This book was the debut novel by stand-up comedian Dominic Holland (you may not instantly recognise the name, but you'll more-than-likely recognise his face from the picture on the back) and, as Harry Hill put it so succinctly, it's "the best thing to come out of Holland since tulips." This story is a modern day fairy-tale set in both the bright lights of London, and the superficial world of Hollywood, and is a real page-turner that you won't want to put down. The story centres around Milly (real name Juliet Millhouse), a reception manager at a London hotel. She doesn't particular WANT her job - she only ended up there after her divorce and subsequent nervous breakdown put paid to her promising career as a buyer... Read review
