British Comedy Guide, 18th October 2018Book review: Soupy Twists! by Jem Roberts

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 8th October 2018Best Foot Forward by Adam Hills review
Adam Hills is surely the most positive man in comedy. So it would be delicious to report that had used his autobiography to settle old scores, start new feuds and indiscreetly call out all the bastards he's encountered over his career. But, no. Best Foot Forward is as hospitable, heartwarming and uplifting as you could expect from the ever-affable Aussie.
