He was educated at Angley School and then Cranbrook School in Kent and St George's Hospital Medical School before training in neurosurgery at the University of London. Hill worked as a house officer at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, before quitting the medical profession because he "didn't feel in control of what was happening".

He now resides in the seaside town of Whitstable, Kent. Hill maintains a small, dark flat in Battersea, London.

In September 2008, Hill worked with Fairtrade to release Harry's Nuts, a brand of fairtrade peanuts. He is known to have been a supporter for his namesake football club Harrow Hill F.C., also known as Harry Hill F.C. In 2008, he was presented with a Harrow Hill badge, which he subsequently wore regularly on episodes of TV Burp.
