 Harry Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry Roy Hill is the stage name of Matthew Hall (born October 1, 1964 in Woking, Surrey and educated at Cranbrook School, Kent), a stand-up comedian who has graduated to being a star of British television by way of a BBC radio series Harry Hill's Fruit Corner.
Harry Hill has established a tight and successful standup structure in which he employs the comedic process of 'reincorporation' to a uniquely obsessive degree.
Harry has also developed many catchphrases over the years including "what are the chances of that happening?" after a bizarre routine and "pork and lamb: they're the main two" in relation to chops.

Hill always had at least one hundred girls on hand for his patrons to dance with, and he insisted that they be well-dressed and well-behaved while in his establishment.
