The former host of the ABC's hit music quiz show Spicks and Specks and current host of The Last Leg returned to his homeland earlier in the year for the sold-out Clown Heart tour.
Now he's back for two shows at the Sydney Opera House and a one-off appearance at Newcastle's Civic Theatre.
The Last Leg first aired in 2012 as a nightly talk show for the London Paralympics but its success saw Channel 4 continue the program and signed Hills as one of its stars.
As a platform for the comedian's politically charged rants, The Last Leg often whips the internet into a frenzy.
A Sydney Morning Herald review of Hills' Comedy Festival appearance said, "The audience involvement soaks up the funniest quarter of his show, but there is plenty of warmth in Hills' amusing takes on parenthood, families and death.
"It's combining these themes that gives Hills' show its heart, with enough witty cultural observations to give it a sharper edge."
Tickets to Adam Hills appearance at Newcastle's Civic Theatre on Friday, January 22, 2015 are on sale now through Ticketek.
