Comedian Adam Hills has raised over $90,000 for Robin William's favourite children's hospital after his public spat with a controversial American church group. Instead of giving money to Westboro Baptist Church to fly them 'first class' to Iraq to picket extreme Islamists - like he had joked - he donated the cash to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. And he has urged his fans to do the same. 'Not only will it help a child, it will really piss of a bigot,' he said. The Australian funny man declared his feud with Westboro Baptist Church over in a segment of his The Last Leg comedy show on Channel 4 in the UK this weekend.
