With a track record of 30 years in comedy, Barry Hilton has raised the world’s laughter level quite considerably. His delightful knack of finding the ludicrous and the humorous turns daily situations on their head to make us laugh at life. His face is as funny as his repartee, with lugubrious looks tailor-made for mirth. Barry’s gregarious personality makes him a people’s person, happy to engage with the audience before and after his shows. After sold out shows in London and Glasgow this Summer, Barry Hilton returns to the capital with an exclusive and intimate show at London’s PizzaExpress Live in Holborn.

"Explosive, Universal and Very Funny," Jami Gong of the TakeOut Comedy Club Hong Kong

“Barry seamlessly transcends cultural boundaries and appeals to an international audience,” Umar Rana, Founder, Comedy Masala Singapore

Thirty years of touring, six children, two ex-wives, a new wife, six DVD’s, two movies, Vegas, Cleese, Connolly, Monkhouse, millions of air miles and a Lifetime Achiever statue on his mantelpiece…. If Barry Hilton isn’t the quintessential South African comedy giant, no one is.

Forged in the fire of the global comedy circuit from London to Hong Kong, this versatile and dynamic comedy icon works the room with magnetic charm and infectious ease. His deft timing and tap-dancing mind leave any crowd thrilled that they came, regardless of their own background.

After what can only be described as one of the most successful careers in South African stand-up history, Hilton shows no sign of slowing down.

In 2013 he became the first South African to perform at the prestigious Harrah's Improv at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, headlining four shows.

Corporate entertainer, award-winning stand-up comic, movie star, motivational speaker and actor, talk show host and the face of Savanna Cider and Roman’s Pizza. There is little ground left in the media that Barry hasn’t conquered.

His genuinely funny bones, his uncanny ability to gauge a crowd, his firm stance on working clean, and his unflinching work ethic make Barry Hilton an institution that has stood the testament of time and continues to impress as he breaks new ground and makes ‘em laugh all over the world.
