Happy Old Year

The month began with someone digging out an old Glasto photo, to herald start of nearly three weeks of twitter enquiries for the whenabouts of the Joe-based pod release.

BUG 49 had three shows this month, starting with a Roisin Murphy interview on the 4th, then the Director's Cut the following week (wherein previous A &  J Show producer Claire Slevin let out a whalloping great "Stephen!") The playlist is here. At this point, the general public were unaware of how recently poor Adam's father had passed away.

The Invisible Dot announced the incredible line-up for their Birthday Bash in January:
"With Adam Buxton, Harry Hill, Josie Long, Sara Pascoe, Simon Amstell, Tim Key, The Horne Section MC - and more to be announced.

The Invisible Dot Ltd brings some industrio-corporate-glitz to the Event at the Apollo in Hammersmith with an extraordinary show in celebration of its 7th birthday. Featuring tech lemming Adam Buxton, bespectacled maverick Harry Hill, cult optimist Josie Long, bookish intellect Sara Pascoe, an unexpected appearance from Simon Amstell, award winning poet/savant Tim Key, and the mighty jazz-juggernaught The Horne Section MC - more incredible acts to be announced soon!

Featuring Birthday Balloons, Birthday Songs, A gigantic Birthday Cake. It's a Birthday Bash!! "

The BUG team also announced that the first BUG show of 2016 celebrates 10 years of the Because label group and a great video back catalogue.

Miranda Sawyer included Adam in her roundup of 2015 radio good things, even though he didn't.....

Lucy shared this golden oldie.

Middle of the month gave us a request from Adam for some interaction to include in his Christmas Day waffle with Joe.

Denver showed Attack the Block in 35mm as their monthly AV Club Sci Fi night.

Just a reminder that the Telegraph printed Nigel Buxton's Obituary on the 18th and Adam divulged that he watched this film with Joe, some other friends and family on the following Friday evening.


The Hollywood Reporter carried this piece about Section 6 and Joe Cornish.

Jarvis Cocker played Joe's Jools on Christmas Day waffle during his 21st Dec show and this happened on the 22nd.

Christmas Eve brought the podcast interview with Joe and we were not disappointed. The bliss of hearing them enjoying each other's company so warmly, was the perfect start to festivities.

Someone also tweeted this.

Then Christmas day came and we had a present-opening pod, just like the old days but more modern. You can find both pods linked here.
You'll enjoy this if you've had a chance to listen already.

It seems London Live tv channel are showing series one of The Adam and Joe Show from Monday at 9pm.

Finally, I want to share a little theory, yet to be dispelled. I reckon the three bloody fingers on Fin's helmet in The Force Awakens, are a little nod to Moses' scratches in Attack the Block.

I do hope everyone has a splendid and frutiful 2016, with many more pods from Adam and a bit of a film from Joe.

April 2015

Adam started the month by joining a bunch of other wonderful comedians on the stage at the estimable 100 Club.
He did a brilliant set without his laptop! He's a fully functioning, independent giggle machine.

He also did some Work in Progress this month at The Invisible Dot. I don't know whether he was flying without the aide of an Inter Net again but the Twitter reports were all shiny.Oh - I see someone mentions 'youtube bit' and wait, yes....there's a photo of him with a laptop. I am an idiothole.

If you are not familiar with the noise made by a camera person who it totally besotted with Joe Cornish, you can learn something here.

There was a friendly little interaction between Giles Coran and Adam.

John Boyega has not forgotten his big break.

Franz Drameh, one of John's co-stars from Attack the Block, has also been cast in a news-worthy film.

This isn't something I found on the net. It's a snap I took in my local supermarket.

I can't help but think that Joe Cornish has been snooping around here, pic.twitter.com/D0PiLtNlna

Towards the end of the month, things became a little fraught with anticipation of A New Podcast when people started to get this message.

but James calmed the situation down nicely.

@AuntieNubbins looks like technical error to me. Stand down Black Squadron

As I said earlier, Adam did some shows at The Invisible Dot and managed to fit in a guest performance in Simon Munnery's Fylm School on the same night as one of them.

I am twelve years old and what is this?

Go here if you missed this.

Knowing Joe's love of Coldplay, and because I have the brain of a small child, I found this amusing

Do what? :D RT @jcornishgallery: Joe Cornish & Chris Martin 'in conversation' Fri 1 May @ 8pm ahead of their May exhibitions.

The dates for BUG 47 were announced, and it's back to the old format of a show with a guest director one week and then two shows, the following week.

Have you heard of Twitter? It's cuddly.

There's a Hot Fuzz dissertation to fill your coffee break and that's it for another month.

March 15

Adam returned to the BFI with BUG 46. His guest director was John Hardwick.

More here and here.  BUG 15 Norwich was announced and Adam's diary has been gradually filling up with a variety of shows.....and a family holiday to Florida.

Adam's episode of Drunk History arrived on UK iTunes.


Lovely bit of sharing

Adam did a couple more Work in Progress gigs at The Invisible Dot. Have you been there yet? It's delicious.

Festering October

Right at the start of the month, Adam gave two performances of his XL Recordings BUG Special in Norwich and a few more Work in Progress shows at the Invisible Dot.

Rae Lovejoy grabbed this snap of Adam at the UK New Front London event, whatever that was....

There are more snaps from this here and here and here and here......oh, and here. There are loads of them.....check my Twitter feed for October 12th & 13th 2014. This person even made doodles.

Helen, Olly and Martin the Soundman celebrated their 300th Answer Me This podcast this month. Adam was among the many and varied guests and he answered Alastair's question.

Adam went to Barcelona this month too!  I know he is Spanish savvy but I wonder if his Catalan is up to scratch.

I should also mention that there have been several Attack the Block screenings dotted around London and Bristol over the last couple of months.
