When Hislop was 12 years old his father died; his mother, who was born in Jersey and had left for Wales in her late teens, died when he was 32 years old.〔 On his return to Britain he was educated at Ardingly College, an independent boarding school, where he became Head Boy,〔 and began his satirical career directing and appearing in revues alongside Nick Newman.〔 Hislop and Newman's association continued when they attended Oxford University together, later working together at ''Private Eye'' and on a number of comedy scriptwriting jobs. Hislop applied to read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford, but changed to English Literature before arriving at Magdalen College. His Oxford tutors included Bernard O'Donoghue, John Fuller and David Norbrook.
