About Paul Hilleard
Paul Hilleard is a stand-up comedian from Pontypridd in the South Welsh Valleys whose debut Fringe hour, Grogg, draws on experiences of growing up in a deprived area. Expect dry, oddball observations ranging across market towns, God, gates, the class system, hot food, relationships, yoga, landlords and Epstein. Hilleard projects the image of a man not too successful at life but still clinging to hope, with precision and obscurity at the heart of his comedy.
Why see this show?
Dry, oddball and quietly precise, Paul Hilleard's comedy finds the absurd in ordinary life. If you enjoy stand-up that feels unhurried and genuinely peculiar, this hour of Valleys-inflected observation is worth your time.
