Adam Hills

The comedian discusses the music that has shaped his life.

Adam Hills is a seriously funny man, and most well known as host of Channel 4鈥檚 hugely successful The Last Leg on Friday nights.

Born in Sydney without a right foot, he turned his disability to his advantage and often referred to it in his comedy. His first stand up show was in 1997, and he became a hit at the Melbourne International comedy festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.

Some alternative commentating on the 2012 London Summer Paralympics led to Channel 4 giving him his own series, which has now broadcast its 300th episode.
