The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Benny Hill was an English comedian, actor, writer and musician whose television career centered on The Benny Hill Show. Beginning in 1955, the show combined filmed and studio sketches, comic songs, slapstick and visual routines, and later reached audiences around the world through syndication.

Hill’s comedy drew on music hall and burlesque traditions. His song Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West) was the UK Christmas number one in 1971. He also appeared in films including Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Italian Job.
