Benny Hill

January 21, 1924 — Southampton, Hampshire, England, UK

Alfred Hawthorne "Benny" Hill was an English comedian, actor and scriptwriter. He's best remembered for his TV program, The Benny Hill Show, a comedy-variety show whose amalgam of slapstick, burlesque, double entendre and innuendo in a format that included both live and filmed segments, featured Hill himself at the focus of almost every segment.
