About TV Burp
HARRY HILL is regarded as one of the UK's finest and most original comedy acts. His unique brand of humour - interweaving running gags, inventive use of music, short films and far-fetched yarns - has been rewarded with numerous awards, nominations and accolades. Greatly admired across the Atlantic, Harry made an acclaimed appearance on The Late Show (CBS), and the show's famous host and chat-show-king, DAVID LETTERMAN, has since personally invited HARRY back on the show seven times - a record for a British stand-up.
His pedigree as a live performer is well known, and in 2002 he was personally invited to perform as the only non-music act by DAVID BOWIE at his Meltdown event at London's Royal Festival Hall. Since Perrier created the Best Newcomer Award for him in 1992, HARRY'S comedy career has gone from strength to strength.
A prolific few years have seen him: win three BAFTAS (to go with Best British Comedy Performer in Television at the inaugural LA BAFTAS); bag another gong for Best Entertainment Performance at the Royal Television Society Awards; receive a nomination for the upcoming National TV Awards; win four British Comedy Awards; not to mention the prestigious Golden Rose award HARRY already picked up for the show in 2004; completely sell out his 2005 tour Hooves, with the show released as a successful live DVD in November 2005; launch his first children's book Tim the Tiny Horse to critical acclaim (followed by Tim the Tiny Horse at Large), and swiftly follow with The Further Adventures Of The Queen Mum; plus the all new TV Burp Book and hit TV Burp Gold 1 and 2 DVD’s.
HARRY continues to be the voice of You've Been Framed, where his off-the-cuff style of witticisms have led to him being widely credited as the saviour of the show.
