Bec Hill is an Australian comedian born in Adelaide who is now based in the UK[1].

She incorporates arts and crafts into her stand-up routines in something she calls paper-puppetry.[2] Her "paper-puppetry" can be likened to pop-up books or the Japanese storytelling technique of Kamishibai.[citation needed]

In 2016, she was a co-host of Sky's "DC Fancast" and "DC Fancast UNMASKED" with Des Taylor and Rick Edwards.[3][4] She has also appeared on several series of CBBC's panel show The Dog Ate My Homework, and starred in the 2014 Sundance UK Grand Jury Prize-winning short film "Russian Roulette"[5], directed by Ben Aston.[citation needed]

Her one-liners have featured in best-joke lists for media outlets such as the Telegraph,[6] Dave,[7] The Guardian,[8] The Independent,[9] Daily Record[10] and Buzzfeed. She has also appeared in a worst-joke list.[11][12][13] She has also written for The Amazing World of Gumball, Bluestone 42 and The Now Show.[2] Her short animation directorial debut, "Scoring Pointes", aired on Disney XD in 2016.[14]

She hosts multiple podcasts including A Problem Squared with Matt Parker, The DesignSpark Podcast, and Con Sessions.
