Celebrity Menu was a comedy monologue by Benny Hill performed within a restaurant sketch on January 13, 1988 with reactions and responses from his patrons. The pretense of the monologue was a menu of dishes and drinks based on the careers of celebrities from England and the United States. Henry McGee, Anna Dawson, Sharon Kiel (?) and Jon Jon Keefe play guests in his fine restaurant.
