Harry Hill Costume

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Which is better, a generic fancy dress costume or one that’s new and got something a bit different? There’s only one way to find out…fight!  Fans of TV legend Harry Hill will immediately recognise this catchphrase; his prime time show TV Burp has thrown up many a tough decision like this.  But to answer the original question, probably the latter as Harry Hill costumes are sweeping the nation!

For those that are unfamiliar with the great man, Harry Hill is a stand up comedian who regularly hosts comedy TV shows at weekends called You’ve Been Framed and TV Burp which seek to highlight funny clips of home videos and comedic clips of TV shows aired during the week.  His distinct “tongue in cheek” style of presenting and humour is very popular with audiences.

Hill, real name Matthew Keith Hall, originally trained as a medical doctor before making the transition into comedy in 1992.  He said he quit the medical profession as he didn’t feel in control of what was happening.  Hill has appeared on various successful TV and radio shows during the 1990s before his BAFTA nominated show TV Burp.

The costume worn by Harry Hill is just as distinctive as his style of humour.  He wears a big collared white shirt with a dark suit, in addition to small badges on his left lapelle and a series of pens in his handkerchief pocket.  The crown jewel though is his pair of retro 1950s style glasses which he is never without.  Hill has said he feels lost without his big collared shirt, and has even had an anxiety attack before a gig when he realised he’d forgotten it!

The Burp costume as worn by Harry Hill is only available from one fancy dress retailer, details of which follow below.  The costume includes the iconic glasses and big collared shirt, together with some badges and pens.  To finish the Harry Hill look a baldy wig is also included, which can be trimmed to fit any size of head!

Turning up at any party dressed as the great man will definitely make you the centre of attention.  If anyone suggests their costume is better than yours, there’s only one way to find out…fight!
