The national lineup across the Hit Network's 43 stations has been revealed for next year.

Delivering the late drive home in 2018 will be Ash London Live, kicking off at 6:30pm straight after Hit's new national Drive show with Hughesy and Kate.

Ash has hosted drive several times this year, and most recently toured the country as the on stage host of RNB Fridays Live, a Hit Network concert series.

In a surprise move, Hughesy and Kate have left KIIS to do Drive on the Hit Network in 2018

Jack Laurence, anchor for ARN's Hughesy and Kate, has spent the past decade working in commercial radio with some of the funniest people in Australia. 

But Jack has a secret.

For years he has yearned the courage to take to the stage and perform his own stand-up comedy. 

The problem? He’s terrified.

Firstly, there’s the obvious fear that comes with public speaking. There’s not many people who feel comfortable speaking in front of a group of people. 

It follows Hughesy' s embarrassing omission last week that he wore adult nappies while on stage for the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

Co-host Kate Langbroek lamented his latest act as disgusting but Hughesy staunchly defended it reaching out for support from callers.

In what must rate as this week's best case of 'too much information' from a radio show host, Dave Hughes has revealed he will be wearning a plastic nappy when he appears on stage this weekend in his latest stand up comedy show.

When Hughesy takes to the stage tonight for his comedy show ‘Deluded’ as part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival he says he will feel very comfortable and masculine knowing the safety of his paper undies will get him through the gig securely.
