About Adam Hills
Adam Hills is a premier Australian comedian and television presenter, widely recognised as the face of the Channel 4 talk show The Last Leg. Originally launched to provide coverage for the 2012 Summer Paralympics, the programme has evolved into a staple of British broadcasting, earning critical acclaim and attracting millions of viewers. Known for his spontaneity and uplifting comedic style, he has toured sixteen solo stage shows internationally and has appeared on major UK programmes including Mock the Week and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Beyond his television work, Adam is a celebrated author who penned the candid memoir Best Foot Forward and the popular children's fiction title Rockstar Detectives. His commitment to inclusive sport is documented in the film Take His Legs, which follows his journey with the Warrington Wolves Physical Disability Rugby League team. This documentary culminated in a landmark match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at the ANZ Stadium in Australia.
In addition to his ongoing role on The Last Leg, Adam continues to perform at major festivals and has recently transitioned the show's broadcast to include audiences in his native Australia through SBS. He is frequently booked for his natural ability to blend topical humour with sincerity, making him a compelling presence for live events and keynote hosting.
On stage, Adam Hills is best known for talks on Comedy, Television Hosting and Live Performance. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
Their work resonates with leaders across Entertainment and Media & Broadcasting, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
Adam Hills is regularly booked for Performers and Entertainer, Presenter & Awards Host and After Dinner Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
Based in UK / Australia, Adam Hills travels internationally for engagements.

Testimonials
"Adam was brilliant, really. Had the whole room roaring with laughter, but also made us think a bit about the business of entertainment. You don't often get that combo, a proper treat. He’s got such a natural way about him, very engaging."
"Honestly, wasn't sure what to expect with a comedian for our corporate event, but Adam totally crushed it. He kept everyone attentive, which, trust me, is not easy with this crowd after lunch. People were talking about his set for days afterward. Real natural performer."
"He’s just got such a charismatic presence, hasn't he? We needed someone who could tie the whole afternoon together and keep the energy up, and he absolutely delivered. Understood our audience straight away, and pitched his material just right. A very solid choice for any live show."
