Was an absolutely fab evening.
Would highly recommend seeing him to anyone.
Laughed so much I got tummy ache and a sore jaw.
One truly fab gentleman and performance.
The best stand-up show - ever!

I took my girlfriend to see Adam Hills live. We are both huge fans of The Last Leg and were fortunate enough to see Josh Widdecombe live in Edinburgh this year.
There appeared to be a slight mishap with the advertising of the start time as it was supposed to be 7.30, but was advertised at 8.30. We turned up at the original time and at 7.45, Adam himself came out to apologise for the delay - which was good of him, a lot of comics would not have done this.
Adding to this, at 8.00 he had kin...
Brilliant stand up; shame about the organisation
London, Hammersmith Apollo, 22/09/2013
Due to refurbishment of the Hammersmith Apollo, our seats were reallocated; this was not a problem. An administrative error meant that the replacement tickets had a different start time than our original tickets, which caused a lot of confusion among the audience.
The evening was great fun. To fill the gap caused by the ticket confusion, we had 20 minutes of Josh Widdicome which was a lovely surprise. Adam Hills delayed starting his gig to make sure that everybody had arrived.
