Adam Hills, Beer Confession, Family Bickering Hacks

Comedian Adam Hills joins Jo and Simon to talk about his memoir Best Foot Forward, a collection of Adam's stories gathered over thirty years of doing comedy.

Comedian Adam Hills joins Jo and Simon to talk about his autobiography Best Foot Forward.

Adam is one of the most popular comedians in the UK. In addition to his stand-up, he's the host of Channel 4's The Last Leg, which is now in its twelfth series. The Last Leg originally ran alongside the 2012 Paralympics and regularly attracts over 1.8 million viewers.

Best Foot Forward is a collection of Adam's stories gathered over thirty years of doing comedy. From the early days of the Sydney Stand-Up scene, to hosting his own radio show in Adelaide, to touring the world and eventually landing on British TV.

Along the way Adam shares some childhood tales, a few backstage blunders, and encounters some fairly famous faces - from Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Connolly, to the guy that sang The Macarena. No, not that guy, the other guy.

It's a lesson in following your heart, being positive, and discovering that what makes you different also makes you unique.
