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

She incorporates arts and crafts into her stand-up routines in something she calls paper-puppetry.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed] 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"[1] directed by Ben Aston.[citation needed]

Her one-liners have featured in "best joke" lists for media outlets such as The Telegraph,[2] Dave,[3] The Guardian,[4] The Independent,[5] Daily Record[6] and Buzzfeed. She has also appeared in a "worst joke" list.[7][8][9] She has also written for The Amazing World of Gumball, Bluestone 42 and The Now Show.[citation needed] Her first short animation directorial debut, "Scoring Pointes" aired on Disney XD in 2016.[10]

She is one half of the family comedy double-act, Bec & Tom.
