Comedy royalty Harry Hill will be coming to Basingstoke as the Badger Parade is back on and he rolls out a new live tour for 2025.
Harry Hill: New Bits & Greatest Hits live tour will kick off in February 2025 and run until September 2025, celebrating Harry’s 60th birthday and almost 30-year career in comedy.
He’ll be coming to The Haymarket in Basingstoke on Sunday, March 2. Tickets are on sale from Friday, May 10, and will be available from harryhill.co.uk.
Join Harry on his Diamond Jubilee lap of honour as he celebrates 60 glorious years of fun, laughter and low-level disruption.

He will offer new insights into the hot topics of the day such as the demise of the SCART lead, The Culture Wars, the differences between crabsticks and rhubarb and the origins of Tiramisu.
Guffaw with delight as Harry delves into his back catalogue using his patented ‘Old Bit Randomiser’ for old favourites like ‘Interspecies Tennis’, ‘The time I went up in the Space Shuttle' and ‘When Nan got her hair caught in the knitting’!
Harry said: “I’m looking forward to celebrating my diamond jubilee - 60 years of fun - by going round the country and thanking all the people that have supported me over the years. I’ve had a word with the badgers and they’ve agreed that for one last time the parade’s on!”
Multiple award-winning comedian, presenter and author Harry has been one of the UK’s most respected and inventive entertainers for nearly 30 years.
Starting with his own ingenious comedy series on BBC Two and Channel 4, he went on to create the hit, multi-BAFTA-winning ITV series Harry Hill’s TV Burp, which ran for 10 years. More recently he has created and starred in three series of ITV’s Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule, BBC Two’s Harry Hill’s World of TV, has been the longstanding voice of ITV’s You’ve Been Framed, and is the presenter of Channel 4’s Junior Bake Off.

As an author, he has written several best-selling joke books and, amongst others, the popular children’s series Matt Millz. He is also an artist and has shown his work at the Royal Academy. With long-term collaborator, the late Steve Brown, he created Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera], which enjoyed a critically acclaimed, sell-out run at London’s Park Theatre and a subsequent UK tour.
Harry has won the Perrier Best Newcomer Award, eight British Comedy Awards, three BAFTAs and a Level 4 BAGA Gymnastics Award (forward roll, cartwheel, crab and roundoff).
Harry also recently launched a brand-new podcast Are We There Yet which is available to stream now, and his new book, How To Be Silly Every Day Of The Year will be released later this Autumn.
