Benny Hill, born Alfred Hawthorne Hill in Southampton, England, in 1924, became one of Britain’s best-known comedians. Before finding fame, he left school at 15 and worked a range of jobs, including as a milkman. After serving in the British Army during World War II, he set his sights on show business and took the stage name “Benny” in tribute to the American comedian Jack Benny. Hill got his start performing in variety halls, where he learned to make audiences laugh through comic characters, impressions and physical comedy. He also worked backstage and took small acting roles. In 1947, he made his radio debut on the BBC program Variety Bandbox, which helped him reach a wider audience. His first television appearances came in the late 1940s, and in 1955 he began starring in The Benny Hill Show. The program combined sketches, slapstick, music and cheeky humor. Hill often played many of the characters himself, and the show’s fast-paced chase scenes—usually accompanied by the tune “Yakety Sax”—became famous around the world. Over the years, Hill became an international comedy star, and his show was broadcast in many countries. He also wrote songs, including “Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West),” which became a major British hit. Remembered for his expressive face, comic timing and playful characters, Benny Hill built a career that lasted for decades.
