The Harry Hill Show

Unknown

Hello there! It's me, Harry Hill! I've got a visualised podcast, or A VODSCARF. Nish Kumar said "You're self funding your own mental breakdown" which doesn't feel very fair.


Join me, my son Gary and Sarah the A.I Bot as we talk to a motley crew of comedians, celebrities and cultural icons.


It's also SMART as well as funny as we speak to an expert on stuff like the big bang, sweets, the day of the dead, lighthouses, and even JESUS as well as lots more in our Theme Of The Week!


We also have a game.


Follow now so you never miss an episode!
