Adam Hills is one the UK's best-loved comedians. For thirty years he has been performing stand-up, hosting TV shows and winning the hearts of a nation.

Best Foot Forward is an utterly hilarious and honest collection of stories about his ups and downs in the world of comedy. Taking us from the early days of the Sydney Stand Up scene to hosting his own radio show, 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 - the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Connolly, and that guy who sang The Macarena. Yes, him. Overall, though it's a lesson in following your heart, being positive and discovering that what makes you different also makes you unique.
