Matthew Keith Hall (born October 1st 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 off-beat, energetic performance style that fused elements of surrealism, observational comedy, slapstick, satire, and music. When performing, he usually wears browline glasses and a dress shirt with a distinctive oversized collar and cuffs.
He won the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer at the 1992 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and began his career in radio and television comedy with the radio series Harry Hill's Fruit Corner (1993–1997). He has hosted his own television comedy programme Harry Hill's TV Burp (2001–2012), and narrated You've Been Framed! from 2004–2022. His other projects include The Harry Hill Movie, released in 2013.
