Adam Hills: Foot Fault (2024x7)

Fecha de emisión: Ago 26, 2024

In this one-hour special, Adam Hills tracks his efforts to bring more awareness to the sport of Para-Standing Tennis. The comedian, who was born without a right foot, was a professional tennis coach before pursuing a career in stand-up comedy. However, while he may have left his desire to be a professional sportsman behind, he nonetheless remains a lover of the sport – although he’s noticed it might not quite love him back as much as he hoped. He, like thousands of other wannabe tennis players with disabilities, has found the sport to be lacking in accessibility. While there has been growing attention for Wheelchair Tennis – with fixtures in the Paralympics and Grand Slams – there is little room for those who have the ability to walk.
