I'm an American comic (23 years) and I saw Harry on the David Letterman show this past fall. Harry was fresh, funny and original. one of the most original and funny five minutes of comedy that I've seen on American TV in years or clubs (Harry, please send the check to the address below as agreed.)

We love Harry - even though his disdain for established religion is a bit much. Pancakes on Good Friday instead of Shrove Tuesday, a young girl's First Communion makes her 'Britain's smallest nun', Moses and Herod as contemporaries? Tut tut.

His new book Tim The Tiny Horse is so cute. It was meant for kids... but oh, well.

I think that Harry Hill is the funniest stand-up/presenter/general entertainer I've ever seen. I suppose to fully appreciate him you have to be a little odd. The only man in the business to keep an almost endless amount of jokes on the go at once. He is one of the most innocent and inoffensive acts around, with no need to reference anything bawdy or get cheap laughs from swearing. Just good clean family fun without any cruelty directed at anyone. For anyone who seems to dislike Harry, just look around at what else seems to pass as comedy at the moment (Friday Night Project).

I caught Harry Hill live earlier this week and have to say it was the worst performance of stand up 'comedy' I've ever seen. I would say stick to TV but i really can't see Harry Hill's appeal.

I saw Harry last night at Monkey Business in Camden and thought he was brilliant. Harry's delivery is so unique and his ability to go off tangents is unrivalled. Admittedly I am a fan of some years and have been a fan since the days of Gareth Southgate badger on Channel 4, but the man's enthusiasm was so impressive. I really do love comics that love what they do, and Harry certainly does. A refreshing change from the endless bunch of miserable gits who treat their audience with contempt that are around on the circuit at the moment.

Harry Hill is a comedy genius and a legend! His most recent tour, Hooves, was incredibly funny and TV Burp doesnt stop me bursting out with laughter

I've followed Harry since the days before Stouffer and a TV series watered down his stand up to the point of students cheering when the 'catchphrases' were delivered. The Wild Horses tour saw more stand up and less song and dance and was all the better for it. Sadly, the Hooves tour brought it back again.
