Adam Hills

There's no Graham Norton to challenge the Chatty Man tonight, just the small matter of Children In Need to contend with. So there are no Hollywood stars sweeping into Carr's space, just a hat-trick of TV favourites, with Derren Brown previewing his new TV caper The Great Art Robbery, comedian Adam Hills having a giggle over his debut stand-up show, Happyism, and Russell Brand discussing his Messiah Complex, out soon on DVD. And with One Direction busy on BBC One, The Wanted seize their moment to provide the music.

The host of Channel 4's The Last Leg offers jolly but rudimentary standup that keeps the crowd in raptures.

Adam Hills, Hammersmith Apollo review

Adam Hills has much to say and an unquenchable desire for full-on fun, mixing serious subtexts with seamless audience interaction. Life-affirming, laugh-affirming comedy at its best.

Amnesty Secret Comedy Podcast episode 14

Adam Hills takes the reins for the penultimate instalment of the Amnesty Edinburgh podcast series, and confides that he was quietly warned off making gay jokes about Putin by MI6. Guest John Lloyd speaks about the sequel to The Meaning of Liff: a book about words that ought to exist but don't. Meanwhile, comedian Ben Van der Velde returns to talk about his favourite Edinburgh one-liners, and there's standup from Terry Alderton, Caroline Rhea, Felicity Ward and Abandoman.

The teatime quiz was hosted by William G Stewart but when it returns comedian Adam Hills will be in the hot seat.

Don't Panic!

After years battling with anxiety and panic attacks, comedian Felicity Ward has never been better. She chats to Evan Beswick about her journey - and how Adam Hills and Toy Story 3 helped her along the way.

This news-comedy show was the unexpected star of the 2012 Paralympic Games: led by comedian Adam Hills, its irreverent round-up of the day's events won a following all of its own. So much so that it came back earlier this year, not to comment on sport but simply on the week's news. That's a crowded marketplace, in which The Last Leg has found a niche.

Along with the wry, sideways, irreverent looks at some of the quirkier stories you might have missed, there's a convivial and inclusive atmosphere that softens the sharpness of the gags - the first 2013 series was best known for a piece to camera in which Adam Hills eviscerated US comedian Joan Rivers, but he was doing it because Rivers had made fat gags about Adele. That's The Last Leg all over: right-on, usually spot-on and brightly funny.

Hills is flanked by co-hosts Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker. Tonight's guest: Russell Brand.
