Harry Hill is back on tour: ‘My friend worried I’d have a heart attack’

The frenetic comedian returns with a hilarious stand-up show that is not at all right-on. no wonder his daughters are on his back.

Harry Hill is embarking on his first national stand-up tour for nearly a decade

H arry Hill is nervous. He’s in the middle of five small warm-up dates before embarking on his first national stand-up tour for nearly a decade. “I’ve been really enjoying this, but I’m anxious about it too,” he says. Last night he played to an audience of 400, mostly fans. Ahead lie 53 gruelling dates to countless thousands.

What worries must be spinning around his famous domed head? He’s 57 and his days as one of ITV’s most cherished stars are (by his own choice) behind him — he stepped down from the primetime ratings juggernaut TV Burp a decade ago; now he’s a sidekick on Channel 4’s Junior Bake Off and the voice of You’ve Been Framed .

Then there’s comedy itself — last time

Yard Act on hanging up the trench coat: “We have a lot more to give”

NME meets the Leeds indie heroes – and comedy pal Harry Hill – at their homecoming residency to talk having a laugh, keeping it real and their stark, lively new material

If you were to manifest the world of Yard Act , you’d almost certainly end up with a scene like the one we arrived to on the penultimate night of their Leeds Brudenell Social Club residency.

Outside, fans line up and sip on ale as they take snaps of a battered 1994 Gold Rover 400 – as depicted in their snarky track ‘Fixer Upper’ , ribbing those Brexit Britain dwellers clawing to be part of Middle England. Inside, some well-wishers blow up balloons and fix bunting as a toddler is being chased around by British comedians Phil Jupitus and Harry Hill. “Don’t mind my lad,” smiles frontman James Smith at the totally mental sight of his young son giggling along with bona fide comedy icons.

This five night homecoming residency with Leeds’ finest trench coat exporters – supported by the likes of Jupitus, Hill,  Ghosts star Lolly Adefope and former Mash Report host Nish Kumar – was designed as an end to the chapter of their Mercury-nominated debut album ‘ The Overload ’. It works: the shabby social club chic, the easy sense of community, the 40 minute warm-up of of Hill’s surrealist madness mocking the “6 Music dads” of the audience and even the band themselves with a cuttingly perfect impression of Smith (“Oooh err, I’m ever so sensitive – I think I’ve got a poem coming on,” he drawls with a mock Yorkshire accent in a mop-top wig).

He’s certainly not here for the money. “I would have broken even if I hadn’t lost a 20ft long sock,” Hill tells NME after the show. But while it makes sense on paper, how would he describe the point in the venn diagram where he and Yard Act meet? “I just like to be surprised, really,” Hill replies. “There’s a lot of humour in what they do. James is very funny and I wonder if he’s ever tried stand-up… hardest job in the world .”

With a setlist chosen by a fan-spun wheel of fortune and a banterous flow throughout, Yard Act’s performance has the right variety show flex to match Hill’s. We’re half expecting them to break out into a meat raffle, but let’s not get too carried away. The music keeps it all grounded with a biting dose of reality – not least in the pummelling LCD Soundsystem -esque sleazy dance rock of upcoming single ‘Trench Coat Museum’.

We caught up with the band backstage to talk about having a laugh, keeping it real, and what’s coming next.

Hello Yard Act. So why did you decide to cap off this era like this?

James Smith, frontman : “We knew that this was going to be fun, and we were absolutely buzzing when it all came together – but it surpassed all of our expectations. I think we all agree now that we’re never taking another band on tour ever again; only comics and poets.”

Who’s the bigger diva: indie bands or comedians?

Smith: “All comics want to be musicians, so they’re all kind of in awe of you slightly, which gives you the upper hand. Then also, they’re all just way nicer and funnier. It’s just a better vibe than with bands.”

And why here?

Smith: “The Brudenell Social Club is where Yard Act played their first ever gig, but it was also a training ground for us in previous bands. It’s been integral to what we do. It’s mentioned on the album, when we talk about “ Nathan’s house ” on ‘100% Endurance’, that’s The Brudenell. It’s our spiritual home, it’s nurtured us and it just made sense to come back here.”

Why these comedians in particular? 

Ryan Needham, bass : “Each comedian has had a very different approach each night, but the outcome has been the same: a room full of people pissing themselves and having fun. That’s what our shows are like anyway, so it just made sense. It’s just a very literal interpretation of our approach – to take disparate styles, chuck it all together and hope for the best. I’ve been on the merch stall all week and I’ve noticed that all pretence has gone from the room.”

Smith: “It’s funny what it does to a crowd. It’s weird that music sidelines a sense of humour when it’s actually something that pretty much everyone has and engages with at all times. It’s really weird to go to a gig and then people be like, ‘No, this is serious’. It can be both! That’s the challenge. It’s not aimless laughs. It’s incredibly well-structured, clever humour that is full of heart and serious subject matter.

“If you can marry those things in comedy then you should be able to marry those things in music. It’s evident that they’re all huge music-lovers too. It’s weird that there’s not more crossover, apart from musical comedy which we all agree is the worst type of music and the worst type of comdey.”

What did it mean for you guys to host Phil Jupitus’ last ever stand-up set?

Smith: “In his time, Phil has opened for a lot of bands. He’s a comic but his poetry is the vehicle for that. The reason that he didn’t want to be announced is because he hasn’t performed for years and this was going to be his last show. He didn’t want to put any pressure on himself or have any expectation for it. Phil’s just become a good mate. He did his final art project on us and he’s been here for the week. He’s gone above and beyond and done it all off his own back. He’s just incredibly passionate about music, art, comedy, poetry, theatre and whatever else.”

How did you meet Harry Hill? 

Smith: “He Instagrammed us saying that he was in Leeds if the Yardies wanted guestlist. Comics and writers seem to like us. It’s hardly surprising I guess, because we’re so funny! Because we started out properly in the pandemic, we weren’t meeting anyone face-to-face. A lot of the time you’d just get a mad message or a DM in your inbox from someone you really admire.”

a @cmatbaby , @MrNishKumar , @YardActBand and phil jupitus walk into a bar… what happens? a cover of chumbawumba tubthumping obviously pic.twitter.com/U2kTrRylnw — emily pilbeam (@empilbeam) May 10, 2023

You’ve been playing a cover of Chumbawamba each night. Reckon you’ll ever release it? 

Smith: “Maybe for charity. When Bob Geldof gets his arse in gear and does the next Live Aid, we’ll put our arses in gear and release ‘Tubthumping’. I know they’ll be really happy about that as well. We’ve been doing it every night with all the comedians. I’ve just heard Harry Hill practising in the corridor, just chanting,  ‘Danny boy Danny boy ’ over and over.”

What can you tell us about the new song you’ve been playing recently – ‘Trench Coat Museum’? 

Smith: “That’s going to be the next single. It’s out in a few weeks. It’s a stand-alone single and not on the next record. It sets up the second album; it just didn’t fit correctly on it. The narrative and the flow of an album is so important. It’s really important to me that the story makes sense. I see it as an advert or a trailer for album two. It touches on the same themes.”

Is it a song that’s putting the trench coat to bed , or further reclaiming it as part of your image?

Smith: “It’s basically about ego, perception, ownership and recognition. I started writing it when I realised what the trench coat had come to symbolise. There were multiple people who had gone to fancy dress parties as me, wearing just a trench coat and glasses. That’s funny itself, but I realised how much I loved it but that it had become a cloak to protect me so that I could be this amplified and more obscene version of myself for performance. I’d take the trench coat off and just go back to being me.

“The first trench coat I wore belonged to Ryan and I took it off the coat rack before the first gig we played. He was like, ‘Are you wearing my coat?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, it’s funny isn’t it?’ It was a joke and a trope of what post-punk is. I loved it and felt more confident.

“I was also thinking a lot about why I was obsessed with my own image. I was looking at pictures of myself and seeing what other people see. They see this character and cartoon that I leant into. When you do, you get more out of it. That’s the thing about pop culture: oversized characters get more attention. I was ready to step away from that because I didn’t want to be trapped by it. We have a lot more to give than we’ve given so far.”

So this is very much a new beginning for you and Yard Act?

Smith : “It feels like quite a transitional track in that sense. The last thing that it takes in is that after I had come to terms with who I was and what I’d be remembered for, that wasn’t really important and that was just my ego coming into play. I realised that the only person where it matters what they think of me is my son.

“That’s what the end of the song is about – me putting an image of myself in a glass case and framing my child. The only thing left of me that will matter is my blood and what I pass on. Anything beyond that is just fucking window dressing.”

So what can you tell us about the ‘narrative’ of your next album? 

Smith: “It’s an album about getting everything you ever wanted and realising that the misery and problems still exist all the same. It’s an album about being away from my family and being in a professional band for a job – which sounds like really boring subject matter, doesn’t it?”

Needham: “It’s a funny version of that though, isn’t it? Our take on a classic!”

Smith: “Oh, that dreaded second album of writing about being in a van for 18 months? That’s not what we’ve done.”

Where are we headed musically? 

Needham : “It does feel like a large stride for us, musically. After doing remixes for other bands and dipping our toes into other genres, we realised the music can do anything. James’ voice and lyrics stamp it as a Yard Act album, but we’re pretty free beyond that.”

Smith : “I feel like our confidence has grown massively. The label have been nothing but supportive of what we want to do and – while I know it sounds schmaltzy – we’ve got a fanbase who understand that we’re not a post-punk band. They’re invested in that. It’s got so much room to grow away from where we’ve started.”

“Part of the first album’s charm is that we didn’t overthink any of it. I’d put effort into everything my entire creative life and yielded poor results, so for the first time I just didn’t expect anything from this or put much into it, and it turned out to be ace. I didn’t want to repeat the formula of that, so this time it’s a much more crafted and meticulous piece. Everyone has worked equally on it. It’s been the most fruitful and enjoyable thing I’ve done creatively.”

Yard Act are set to release ‘Trench Coat Museum’ in the coming weeks, before a summer of UK festival dates. Visit here for tickets and more information.

Harry Hill

Harry Hill review – reliably, joyously madcap as ever

Milton Keynes theatre While not quite reaching previously attained heights of absurdity, the comic still pulls off a successful stream of nonsense

I t’s been a decade of tumultuous change since Harry Hill last toured. But for Hill, some corner of a comedy stage will forever be nonsense – a timeless land where rapping to the Crossroads theme, dressing up as an elephant and making ventriloquist’s dolls vomit always has a home. Pedigree Fun finds the 58-year-old neither looking nor acting a day older than when Sausage Time toured in 2013 – even if its cavalcade of idiocy doesn’t quite (or at least not tonight) scale the heights of its predecessor.

The only instance of Hill acting his age rather than his shoe size is with a running gag about the generation gap. Millennials and their juniors are teased wickedly about their meagre inheritance as he brags about the hardiness cultivated by a death-defying 70s upbringing. There is more wickedness in the mix than previous shows – see several Hitler jokes and a gag about the paedophile TV stars of yesteryear (“You’ve got to hand it to them, they were natural entertainers”).

Harry Hill performing Pedigree Fun

This visual and verbal tomfoolery flows in such a spate that there’s always something coming to make you laugh. Hill tutors us in the four basic shapes of chicken nugget and mimes bathing himself with a wet-wipe, but the standout moments are the bigger set-pieces: casting an audience volunteer as a rescue elephant, say, then manoeuvring them into a slapstick duet with an ironing board. There’s a winningly freewheeling shaggy-dog story about a recipe box delivery, and – tonight’s undisputed showstopper – a socks-based physical comedy number that finds our host dragged, writhing, across the stage.

At such moments, a Harry Hill gig is just a joyous place to be. But there are a few fallow periods between the fertile ones here; moments when you can admire the dottiness of what Hill is doing (a non sequitur Coleridge recital, for example) without finding it especially funny. An oft-repeating onscreen joke dividing foodstuffs, famous people and more into “traybakes” or “tear-and-shares” overstays its welcome without ever really getting the audience on side. This isn’t always nonsense at its zenith, then, but a hoot all the same.

Facts and figures about Harry Styles' 'Love On Tour'

The mammoth tour came to an end in July 2023 after nearly two years

Harry Styles brought 'Love On Tour' to the UK - not once, but twice! After initially performing six dates across the UK and Ireland in June 2022, he later announced 'Love On Tour' was returning to the UK , and performed a further 11 dates in 2023.

Wrapping up an incredible 173 dates across seven legs around the world spanning 22 months, it's about time Harry took some time off - but not before he shared a beautiful tribute to his fans who came out to see him perform.

The video received nearly 5 million likes on Instagram in 24 hours, with many fans flocking to the comments to share just how much the concerts had meant to them. Others were convinced that it was a trailer for an upcoming documentary.

One fan wrote: 'If this isnt a trailer for a documentary I'll cry,' as another added: 'I think it is, the way, the videographers we’re all over the stage. I really do believe that there’s gonna be a documentary.'

While on tour, Harry has had plenty of standout moments - including stopping his show to thank his first school teacher , helping a fan to come out , throwing flowers to a young fan and stopping his gig so a fan could propose - and let's not forget when he stopped his concert to let a pregnant lady have a toilet break .

Chatting to his fans at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Harry spotted Sian, a pregnant fan, who hadn't want to pop to the toilet because she didn't want to miss any of the show.

'Love on Tour' in numbers

In the space of two years, Harry played to an audience of over 5 million people across Europe, North America, South America and Australia and raised and donated over $6.5 million to charity.

'Love On Tour' became the fourth highest grossing tour of all time. The tour included a record breaking 18 nights at LA's Forum, 20 sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden and six nights at Wembley Stadium.

Harry concluded the tour at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, where he performed to over 100,000 people.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
