Bec Hill - Guess Who's Bec, Bec Again?

Gilded Balloon, 2025-08-17

This is, as Bec is at pains to point out, not a show. For a comedian whose shows are typically elaborately put together pieces with great structural care and thematic/narrative precision, this is a difficult thing to bear for her. If not a show, then, it’s more a forcing function to do something after 6 difficult-sounding years away from the Fringe where the next show simply wasn’t coming to her. Judged on those terms, I hope this is a success for her. The flip charts are, as ever, a lot of fun. There are a couple of other strong standalone pieces, and admittedly a few less so, but such is life. I wouldn’t be surprised if most of this material gets lost to time, but hopefully this is the catalyst for whatever the next show turns out to be. More than that, it’s just nice to see Hill back at the Fringe - she’s always been an excellent comic with a very precise mind and voice for things, and I can’t wait to see her back at full strength again.
