Hi Hil. Who are you and what do you do in comedy?
I'm Hil. My niche seems to be making sketch comedy podcasts aimed at people who don't know what a podcast is.
How did your first performance go?
I'm late to trying actual stand-up and have recently done a couple of slots. They went very well but weirdly/unexpectedly, I just didn't get any buzz from performing. Also, the thought of travelling to venues for little or no reward doesn't exactly appeal when I can do that from home.
What's the funniest thing you've ever seen?
Tommy Cooper or Victor Borge live. Also, this football gem is still up there, https://youtu.be/VIAUTOFUNn8?feature=shared
What's your proudest moment, in terms of your comedy work?
Going to Newsrevue, laughing with the audience and suddenly realising, 'hang on...I wrote this!'
What's the best advice you've ever been given, read or heard?
"Be lucky"
Who would you most like to work with in the future?
Stevie Wonder.
What's been the most significant plot twist in your own life?
Deliberately flunking school to escape a teacher and then marrying one.
What's been the most significant plot twist in your own life?
A nice chilled English sparkling wine please, or if they haven't got that , a cab sauv of some kind. Thanks.
