The Cousin

Barry Hilton

Having spent 40 years establishing myself as an international comedian I want to use humour to empower others and allow them to benefit their careers just like it has done for me over a lifetime.

The Cousin

After performing in more than 20 countries and delivering over 6000 gigs Barry has spent some time reflecting recently on his early career. He believes the best piece of advice he ever received was when supporting Billy Connolly in Jersey, when the Big Yin himself took the time to tell Barry he was funny but had to stop telling jokes!


Now Barry wants to empower others through supporting them to understand the power of humour and how it can impact their day to day working life by using his Talk Funny platform offerings.


Barry wants his legacy to be about more than just making people laugh, he wants to invest time in equipping others with the skills to understand the power and impact of humour.

His universal appeal has created a global fan base through tours taking in America, Hong Kong, London, Ireland, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius, Africa and even at sea on international cruise liners, highlighting his ability to cut through all boundaries and appeal to any nationality, race or age

6 kids, 6 grandkids

Four decades on stage, coupled with six kids, 6 grandkids, two ex-wives, a new wife, a few dogs, a penchant for fishing and a lifetime of living in a crazy, beautiful country has given Barry a lifetime of laughter-inducing experience.

He fills 4,000-seat theatres with his solo shows, yet is just as adept at adding comic class to corporate events as the Master of Ceremonies or the headline act.
