Summary

Adam Buxton is a British comedian, writer, podcaster, and actor best known for his work in comedy and broadcasting. He gained prominence in the 1990s as one half of the comedy duo Adam and Joe, alongside Joe Cornish. Their cult TV show The Adam and Joe Show on Channel 4 mixed sketches, pop culture parodies, and homemade creativity, becoming a hit with alternative comedy fans.

Buxton is also widely respected for The Adam Buxton Podcast, where he conducts warm, thoughtful, and often humorous interviews with a range of guests, from comedians and musicians to writers and filmmakers. His distinctive style blends genuine curiosity with playful absurdity.

Outside of his podcasting and TV work, Buxton has appeared in various acting roles and voice work (including Hot Fuzz, The IT Crowd, and Bug). He is known for his love of music (especially David Bowie), tech, and a strong DIY aesthetic in his creative projects.
