Harry Hill at Wilton's Music Hall: like being on drugs without being on drugs

Wilton's Music Hall was the perfect venue for Harry Hill's UK tour warm-ups this weekend. It was built in 1859 and some of the former doctor's skits felt as if they dated from the same century. This is not a negative criticism. Far from it. Hill is the nearest thing we have to a living embodiment of a vaudevillian superstar.

As the title suggests, New Bits And Greatest Hits is a partial overview of his thirty-year career, but this is no mere pension-plan cash-in for the big-collared 60-year-old. You don't have to look too closely to see that new versus old in various senses is a unifying motif of the night.
