Adam Hess, Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated chap and star of ITV’s Tonight at the London Palladium and Live from the BBC. He's five foot eleven, he hates other families' plates, and he had his 18th birthday party on a riverboat on the Thames so when people realised how boring it was they couldn't leave.
