Hot on the heels of Harry Hill, another alpha nonsense-peddler proves that sometimes (if you get it right, and not many do) comedy is at its best when it means nothing at all.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 20th February 2013Harry Hill: I was hoping Micky Flanagan would take over
Harry Hill, talking about TV Burp, says: "I do miss watching it, and I was hoping that someone else would take over. I was talking to Micky Flanagan, and I was hoping he would do it. It's a lot of work, though. I'm the only mug that would do it."
Heat Magazine, 14th February 2013Harry Hill - Sausage Time
Because it is eight years since his last tour, many of Harry Hill's younger fans in the audience tonight are probably seeing him live for the first time. What they witness is more than merely his telly act minus the TV Burp desk.
Julian Hall, The Stage, 11th February 2013Harry Hill: Sausage Time, Oxford New Theatre
"By the way, this isn't a dream" comments Hill towards the end. Neither a nightmare or a dream, in fact, but an admirable show where the palls seem somehow inexplicable among some material to revere.
Julian Hall, The Independent, 11th February 2013Harry Hill - review
Should a 48-year-old ex-doctor be pillow-fighting with a large man in a leotard? Should he be singing Jessie J's Price Tag in Tongan, or impersonating a horse in flip-flops? If this triumphant return to live comedy proves anything, it's that Hill growing old certainly doesn't equal Hill growing up.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 10th February 2013Harry Hill: Sausage Time, New Theatre Oxford, review
He has soon darted off on far less challenging tracks but it leaves you wondering whether anything lies over the brow of Hill's future beyond high-grade goofishness. Is it time - at the age of 48 - for some sort of rethink, Mister Harry?
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 10th February 2013Harry Hill: The private life of the lord of misrule
Harry Hill's TV Burp ripped up the rules of family TV - but not without taking a toll on its star's real-life alter ego, Matthew Hall. Ahead of a tour and an X Factor musical, he talks about life beyond Saturday teatimes.
Christina Patterson, The Independent, 8th February 2013Harry Hill: I got fed up with TV work
Saturday night television star Harry Hill has revealed that he is "fed up" with the small screen.
Jasper Hamill, The Big Issue, 28th January 2013Harry Hill interview
After more than a decade at the centre of ITV's Saturday night primetime schedule, Harry Hill is going back out on tour with a standup show. And he's lost none of his surreal charm.
Tom Lamont, The Observer, 27th January 2013TV Review: Paddy's TV Guide
It drones on with a smattering of sub-Harry Hill physical sketches and commentary that adds about as much as those dialogue boxes that pop up in front of YouTube clips. I don't think any of this is really Paddy McGuinness's fault - the problem is this format has been done before and much better; he's out of his depth.
