After originally working as a hairdresser Craig then trained as an actor at Queen Margaret College in Edinburgh. Several roles later in Panto, short films and Theatre he was then bitten by the comedy bug! Ow!
His friend booked his first gig for him and sprung it on him 2 days before! The fear was overwhelming but not as much as the curiosity. The cat was killed, the gig was booked and a new comedian was born!
BBC Scotland picked him up to join 4 new comedians for their much loved Friday night stand up show ´Live Floorshow´. 2 series later it went National and Craig was joined by Al Murray, Frankie Boyle, Men In Coats, Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolfe III and a host of comedians and bands for 10 weeks on BBC 2 and loved it.
This lead to stints on the BBC´s coverage of the ´T In The Park´ music festival where he interviewed such luminaries as Pink, Alison Goldfrapp, The Scissor Sisters and The Darkness. Later on this interviewing practice was to pay off when he got his own Friday night comedy show on BBC 1, ´Craig Hill´s Out Tonight´, a chat show cum what´s on guide to the best of Scottish entertainment.
While he was having all this fun, Craig managed to do the Edinburgh Festival every year for the last 10 years, with such memorable titles such as ´Craig Hill´s Alive With The Sound Of Music´, ´Kilty Pleasures´ and ´Craig Hill Makes Your Whole Week!´
Craig regularly tours throughout the UK as well as appearing at International Festivals as far afield as Sydney, Melbourne, Montreal, New York, Madrid, Paris and Cape Town!
