Dr Matthew Hall (born October 1, 1964), better known as Harry...

Dr Matthew Hall (born October 1, 1964), better known as Harry Roy Hill, is a BAFTA award-winning and English stand-up comedian and author who has graduated to being a star of British television by way of a BBC radio series Harry Hill's Fruit Corner. He was born in Woking, Surrey and educated at Cranbrook School in Kent, and holds a medical degree from St George's Hospital Medical School, University of London.

Hill's humour is quirky and surreal, with comedy historian Oliver Double describing Hill's performance as that of "Ronnie Corbett possessed by the ghost of Salvador Dalí." [1] His character has a trademark appearance, comprising a bald head, thick black spectacles, pens in his top pocket, small badges on his lapel and a comically oversized shirt collar.

In 2003, he was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy. In a 2005 poll to find The Comedian's Comedian, he was voted amongst the top 50 comedy acts ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders[2]. In 2007 he was voted number five on Channel 4's hundred greatest stand-ups. On December 13, 2006, he won two Highland Spring British Comedy Awards, over the favourites Ant and Dec, which Harry made light of in his acceptance speeches.[3]. In 2008 he won two Baftas.


Hope this helps :-)
