Harry Hill: From Doctor To Comedian, TV Burp & Success in America
Description
How does someone go from medicine to comedy?
Comedian Harry Hill joins Romesh Ranganathan for a funny and insightful conversation about stand-up, originality and staying relevant in comedy.
Harry reflects on leaving a career in medicine to pursue his comedy dream, touring with Tim Vine, and how he developed his completely unique style. They also share on their comedy influences, from Jack Dee to Sean Lock, discuss the pressure of writing new material, and why struggling on stage is part of the process.
From TV Burp, to touring, to David Letterman and making it in the US, they cover it all. Plus, expect the usual question from Shanthi and a strong game of Misquoted to top it all off. It's a masterclass in comedy with plenty of nonsense along the way.
A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform.
