Biography

David Barry Hilton, a renowned South African stand-up comedian, actor, and television personality, was born on January 29, 1956, in the city of Salisbury, which was then part of Southern Rhodesia.

As a young man, Hilton initially pursued a career in electrical work, dedicating six years to this profession before deciding to take a chance on the world of comedy.
