Comic will shave a slogan in her hair

A comedian is selling the back of her head as advertising space.

In a stunt designed to increase the profile of her Edinburgh show, Bec Hill is auctioning off the chance to have a sponsor’s message shaved into the back of her head.

Money raised from the week-long eBay auction, which begins on August 23, will go to Cancer Research. But she’ll only agree to do it if bids exceed £1,000.

The Australian said: ‘I have already contacted Irn Bru informing them that if they bid the highest, I will bleach my hair first, dye it orange, and have their logo shaved into the back of my head.

'I won't wear hats or anything until it does - to maximise advertising potential.'

She has, however, laid down one proviso: No offensive terms or images.rn
