context_section_description: Hills was born in the southern Sydney suburb of Loftus.  Hills was born without a right foot and wears a prosthesis, which has become a frequent source of comedy in his act. He studied for a Bachelor of Arts (Communications) at Macquarie University, graduating in 1991.
  In December 2009, Hills married opera soprano Ali McGregor. They have two daughters and live in London.
  Hills participated in the Australian version of the program Who Do You Think You Are?; his episode debuted on 2 April 2013 and explored Hills's Austrian and Maltese roots, with a Maltese ancestor of his turning out to be a pirate.
  Hills is a supporter of his hometown rugby league club the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
  In 2017, he set up the Warrington Wolves Physical Disability rugby league team. In August 2018, he played in their World Club Challenge vs South Sydney Rabbitohs winning 34–12.
  In February 2020 Hills became Ambassador for The Children's Trust, a British charity for children with brain injury and neurodisability.   He first became involved with The Children's Trust when he visited the charity in 2014 to meet Seb, a nine-year-old boy who had a severe brain injury and leg amputation following a road traffic accident. 
  He has also supported five annual comedy shows at The Comedy Store for the charity.
  In April 2020, Australia Post released a set of stamps recognising Australian Legends of Comedy, with Hills appearing on one of the stamps.
