'Angry Boys' star Chris Lilley to meet UK fans on Oxford Street

Chris Lilley is to meet Angry Boys fans in London next week.

The Australian Summer Heights High creator and character comic will be at the HMV on Oxford Street to promote his Angry Boys DVD from 6pm on Tuesday, September 6.

Angry Boys was a strong success in Britain after airing on BBC Three, maintaining ratings of 600,000 throughout its first series.

In his native Australia, Lilley has drawn criticism from the press for controversial characters Ruth 'Gran' Sims, and rapper S.Mouse.

Lilley previously told Digital Spy that he enjoys his "cult" status in the UK even more than his mainstream success in Australia.

"I like my status in the UK a bit more, where it's a cult, underground thing, or at least that's my understanding of it," he said. "In Australia I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention... The UK, I'm much more excited about."
