Best Foot Forward

Adam Hills always wanted to be a comedian. He also wanted to wear thongs, but we'll get to that. Growing up in Sydney, Australia, laughter was what brought the Hills family together. But it wasn't until Adam's nineteenth birthday that he decided to pursue his dream and perform at the Comedy Store. What follows is a first-hand glimpse into the world of comedy - from the early days of the Sydney stand-up scene to hosting an Adelaide radio show; from the Edinburgh Fringe to The Last Leg. Along the way, Adam also encounters some fairly famous faces - the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Connolly, and Kermit the Frog - and learns that a lot of hard work, a little bit of talent, and being proudly different can see you find your feet.
