Barry Hilton - Comedian, Celebrity, MC and Corporate Entertainer. 

BARRY HILTON, every ones favorite “Cousin”, has obtained international fame and status as a stand-up comedian performing around the world.  Many agree, without a doubt, that he is one of the South Africa's to comedians ever.

Performing his unique brand of proudly South African humour, his jam-packed shows are testimony to his popularity as “the cleanest” comic in the country.  He entertains at the highest level, breaking boundaries without barbed prejudice, snide racism or questionable language.

Hilton is a true icon and - as many other famous comedians have agreed - a role model in the industry. A definite celebrity, yet someone who does not want the title, just proves his humbleness.  As put in the words of Barry, he is “just a normal oke with a better job than you!”

More on Barry Hilton....

Zimbabwe born Barry Hilton became a professional comic in over two decades ago and now claims to be a familiar name in every South African home, where he’s nicknamed The Cousin.

He prides himself on his "clean" brand of humour and optimistic, patriotic, outlook on South Africa. He also visits the UK on a regular basis and was the first South African stand-up comic to perform at the London Comedy Store.

As well as stand-up comedy, Barry has made a number of TV appearances, including his own chat show entitled Funny You Should Say That (which ran for 13 episodes on primetime SABC in 2003) and a host of Savanna Dry adverts.

He has recorded three DVDs, his 2001 title Here We Go Again went gold for sales exceeding 50,000.

Barry Hilton is said to be one of South Africa’s most successful stand-ups – and it’s clear that the smallish but almost exclusively expat crowd who’ve come to see him in the West End do hold him in affectionate regard.

His nickname is The Cousin, reflecting the genial familiarity that extends to him welcoming fans in the foyer of the Lyric Theatre as they arrive. It primes the audience brilliantly, so come the time he takes to the stage, they are more-than willing to laugh at anything he says.
