Jane Hill

Comedy CV 

Jane’s sharp, intelligent observational comedy is charming, but with a real twist in the tail.  Her jaundiced views on love, life and relationships strike a chord with audiences of all ages. 

Now in her mid-forties, Jane has been gigging since late 2005 and now performs paid opening and middle spots all over the country for clubs and promoters such as Mirth Control, The Stand, Funhouse Comedy, Cosmic Comedy, Anthony J Brown (Spotlight), Des Sharples (Mirth on Monday and Comic FX), Agraman (Buzz Comedy), Laughter Lines and Alexander's.  She has also done half-spots for The Comedy Store, the Glee Club and Komedia in Brighton.

Jane is also an experienced compere and is a regular host of Custard Comedy Cambridge, the monthly comedy night she runs with Rob Coleman.  Jane has three Edinburgh Fringe runs under her belt.  In 2009 she took her first one-woman show to the Fringe.  Murder for Profit and Pleasure explored her strange double life as a comedian and a successful crime novelist - she has written three psychological thrillers, all published by Random House.

Before turning to comedy and writing, Jane worked in radio for twenty years - firstly as a journalist and then as one of the first female programme directors in commercial radio, presenting music shows and attempting to train DJs to be witty.  She still freelances as a radio reporter, most recently doing sports shifts for the BBC in the East Midlands.

Reviews

 "Jane Hill demonstrates a presence and confidence on stage that rivals many established comics and has well crafted and constructed gags that are both funny and also personal, yet she also has an ability to react and interact with the audience 'off script' if required which makes her versatile too - recommended." - Geoff Whiting, Mirth Control

 "Jane Hill got up and proved exactly why she is a firm favourite of the JUICE Family. She is incredibly charming and lovely, puts the audience at ease with her wonderful speaking voice and middle-class manner. She is then able to subvert this image beautifully with some well-crafted dark material." - Rob Halden, Juice Comedy

"Genuine belly-laughs." - Three Weeks

“Hilarious.” – Inside Comedy

"It’s not often that a short thesis on a Germanic pre-Nazi Modern Art movement gets a belly laugh but Jane managed just that." - HaHa Comedy
