MR HILARIOUS are a classic rock, grindcore band from Manchester, UK. Formed in 1986, they quickly established a cult following due to their outrageous lyrical content and offstage brawling and other antics. MR HILARIOUS is Mr. Hilarious (vocals), Mr. Ridiculous (guitars and effects), Roger (bass guitar), and Donald "Donny the Drummer" Garret (drums). The last name of Roger has always been withheld due to the bassits extreme devotion to his family and their privacy. The true names of Mr. Hilarious and Mr. Ridiculous have never been revealed. The band was initially formed as a retaliation for a long-held high school spat with another child, but when the four youths realized that they enjoyed doing what they were doing, they continued and, excluding an almost 9 year hiatus from the late 19990s to mid 2000's, have not stopped since.
