My Take

Harry Hill fascinates me because his comedy carries the fingerprints of his first career. He trained and worked as a medical doctor before committing to stand-up, and I am convinced that years of observing people at their most vulnerable sharpened the eye behind his surreal, hyperactive style. There is real discipline underneath the silliness — the absurd flights of logic land with surgical timing. I respect anyone who walks away from a secure profession to bet on something as precarious as comedy, and he did not merely survive the bet; he became one of Britain's most distinctive comic voices.

Overview

Dr. Matthew Keith Hall (born 1 October 1964), known professionally as Harry Hill, is an English comedian, presenter and writer. He pursued a career in stand-up following years working as a medical doctor, developing an offbeat, energetic performance style that fused elements of surrealism, observational comedy, slapstick, satire and music.
