Interview: Bec Hill

Bec Hill began comedy at the age of 18 in Adelaide, Australia. Five years on and two critically acclaimed Fringe shows later, the comic now resides in London, half way across in world from where she started out doing stand-up. But, as she’ll have told you if you went to see her 2010 Fringe show ‘Bec Hill Didn’t Want To Play Your Stupid Game Anyway’, she hasn’t grown up one little bit.
