Constantly undersold as the plebian pretender to the Brit wit throne (a crown held by surrealist sketch gods Monty Python’s Flying Circus), there is much more to Alfred Hawthorn Hill than bawdiness and boob jokes. Sure, he chased women in a manner that cemented his chauvinistic status, but Hill’s humor was much more music hall than strip club. He worked in all manner of merriment, from song parodies and original tunes to tried and true vaudeville shtick—and thanks to this comprehensive DVD set, we can see him mature from unsure performer to standout superstar. He remains one even today. [Amazon]
