About this listen

A hilarious and honest collection of stories, thoughts, and tales of a life in comedy from the award-winning comic Adam Hills.

Adam Hills is one the UK's best loved comedians. For 30 years he has been performing stand-up, hosting TV shows and winning the hearts of a nation.

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, Best Foot Forward is a story of a life in comedy. Along the way Adam shares some childhood tales and 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.

This is an utterly hilarious and honest collection of stories about Adam's ups and downs in the world of comedy. It's a lesson in following your heart, being positive and discovering that what makes you different also makes you unique.

Although this is a good account of the history behind the stand up comic - it's the story telling and performance from Adam reading it himself that makes this a great listen

From extra little bits to the outstanding accents you will be entertained from start to finish

A better Audiobook than book

I am a great fan of Adams on the last leg and I think it even more now, great life,friends and choices. You couldn't of plucked a better narrator, it was so funny. I loved it.

Absolutely fabulous

Finishing this audio book was like waving a good friend off at the airport after a great holiday. It left a void. I’ll be seeking out more of Adam Hills’ audio books - he’s so easy to listen to and so effortlessly upbeat, it’s impossible not to be swept along on his tidal wave of positivity.

‘Read’ it and weep... with joy!

An uplifting, life-affirming joy

Definitely worth listening to rather than reading. I don't laugh easily and this had me laughing out loud multiple times. The Muppets, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Connolly, what's not to love?

Loved it. Plenty of laugh out loud moments

Absolutely loved this book and Adam Hills' narration was hilarious. I could listen to his Aussie accent all day and never get bored. I love his humour, storytelling and his attitude towards his disability. Oh, and his Billy Connolly impression is spot on!

If you're thinking of getting this... Just do it!
