Adam Hills interview. 'Frankie Boyle's jokes are tame'

Making jokes about the disabled is usually an invitation to a huge kicking - just ask our columnist Frankie Boyle. But that's not the case for Aussie comic Adam Hills. He's been getting rave reviews and more than a million viewers for his Paralympics comedy and review show, The Last Leg.

Talking positive with Adam Hills

The Yellow hat is the thinking hat of speculative positivity and it's this hat that I struggle most with.

An hour of stand-up recorded at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh, and showcasing some of the most popular comedians from the annual August comedy festival. Among them are Sean Lock (drily witty QI regular), Jack Whitehall (startlingly young, with endearingly shambolic delivery), Emo Philips (master of the one-liner) and Adam Hills (relentlessly cheerful Australian). Presented by Shappi Khorsandi.

Such Small Portions, 24th June 2010

The game show in which panellists aim to conceal truthful statements within falsehood-strewn speeches returns for its fourth series, with David Mitchell as its sardonic host. This raucous first episode was recorded at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The panellists - Rhod Gilbert, Adam Hills, Shappi Khorsandi and Reginald D Hunter - touch upon ingeniously weird topics such as whether Rudyard Kipling invented the game of snow golf (by painting his balls red so that they may be seen against the icy whiteness), and whether Edward VII had a golf bag made from an elephant's scrotum.
