Harry Hill launches new visual podcast mixing comedy, curiosity and chaos

Harry Hill’s brand-new visualised podcast, The Harry Hill Show, has launched today.

The award-winning comedian, presenter and author will release episodes every Monday, with the first guest confirmed as fellow comedian Stewart Lee.

The podcast will be available to watch on Spotify and YouTube, as well as to listen to across all major podcast platforms, marking a bold new chapter in Harry’s long-running love of playful, unpredictable entertainment.

Each episode will see Harry joined by his son Gary and Sarah the AI Bot, as they welcome a rotating cast of comedians, celebrities and cultural figures for conversations that deliberately veer off course.

Alongside guest interviews, the show will feature a theme of the week, with experts dropping in to explore topics ranging from the big bang and the Day of the Dead to, somewhat unexpectedly, flies.

There’s also the introduction of a new recurring segment, Name The Seed, already being teased as a game designed to confuse, delight and spiral in ways only Harry could engineer.

Series one will feature a high-profile line-up of guests, including Stewart Lee, CMAT, Ed Gamble, James Acaster, Laura Smyth, Phil Wang, Alex Brooker and Nish Kumar, with more names to be revealed.

The format builds on Harry’s previous podcast success with family-friendly hit Are We There Yet?, which mixed comedy interviews with expert-led discussions around a weekly theme.

Now returning with a bigger, fully visualised production, Harry says the new show leans even further into curiosity, silliness and the pleasure of learning something unexpected in the middle of a joke.

Harry has been one of the UK’s most inventive entertainers for nearly thirty years, rising to prominence with his own comedy series on BBC Two and Channel 4, before creating the multi-award-winning ITV hit Harry Hill’s TV Burp.

His television work also includes Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule, Harry Hill’s World of TV, You’ve Been Framed, Channel 4’s Junior Bake Off and CBBC’s Go Get Arty.

Away from broadcasting, Harry is also a best-selling children’s author, with his latest book How to Be Silly published in autumn 2024, and a respected visual artist whose work has been shown at the Royal Academy.

Last year, his Diamond Jubilee Tour: New Bits & Greatest Hits played to audiences of all ages, with the Guardian calling him a comedy craftsman and the Sunday Times praising the show as wildly inventive.
