Matthew Keith Hall (born 1 October 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 offbeat, 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 shows Harry Hill (1997–2003) and Harry Hill's TV Burp (2001–2012), and narrated You've Been Framed! from 2004 to 2022. His other projects include The Harry Hill Movie, released in 2013.
He competed on the seventh series of The Masked Singer as "Red Panda". He was unmasked on the sixth episode.
