Junebug

This month, Adam set off for another tour of L.A. comedy clubs and there was rumour of a Nerdist podcast which has come to nought as far as I can tell. He did these though and BLOGGED about another podcast:
Mon 2nd Jun - Crash Test at the UCBT in L.A.
Wed 4th Jun – Nerd Meltdown at Meltdown Comics in L.A.
Sat 7th Jun - The Prompter at the Meltdown in L.A. (and the Buxty Birthday, fyi)
Sun 8th Jun - at the Mack Sennett Studio in L.A.





Adam returned to Sheffield Docfest and the lucky sods got his Bowie Special, Cobbler Bob an' all.

Such a wonderful venue. I wish I could have been there.





followed gratifyingly by this



There are some more pictures of the Bowie Special here, here, here and here but don't forget Chris Saltyman's video. This is a review here.




The XL Recordings BUG Special worked so well in London that he took it to both Glasgow and Manchester.  Read more here including Milland Suman's bespoke intro film.

It looks like Edwyn Collins and Marc Riley went along to the Manchester show and Frank Black turned up on screen via Skype/FaceTime at the Glasgow gig. Adam phoned in an interview with RadMac which is preserved forever here.



Adam found the time to add his voice to more Ladybird. Check out the full range including three Chris Judge books.

This month, we discovered that the Adam and Joe Song Wars Vol. 2 is no longer on iTunes. It makes me feel sick to my very core. I fear Dreamboat records went the way of the ferry man.

There were a lot of tweets linking this, though.



Ben Baker made a comedy compilation.



Now here's a really absurd thing. Very rarely, I see someone taunt me with a tweeted picture of their signed copy of the Adam and Joe Book. Don't ask me if all the planets in the idiotholeverse were strangely aligned but out of nowhere, TWO people decided to tweet similar things On The Same Day (I think you know the voice you're supposed to read that in).





On 25th June, Adam tirelessly bended his knees and pulled funny faces for a slew of award-happy winners at the Broadcast Digital Awards. One Two Three ....there are more somewhere.

I got cross about this:



The Metro included Lee Hardcastle's claymation trailer as voiced by Adam.



The only mention of Joe this month was continued chatter relating to Edgar leaving his Ant-Man director's chair cold. Although I was enchanted by this.



Alan Davies rolled out a new show for Dave which included stand-up John Robbins recounting his friend Paul's Bringer of the Spiders story. There were bits of Twitter snorting when this happened but John confirmed it was his mate's story. Actually, Dave are repeating the series and I do recommend you entertain yourself with it. Episode one includes the actual Jon RonSon. I'd quite like to see Adam guesting on series two. No, actually, I'd quite like to see Adam hosting series two. I think he would be very comfortable there and Mr Davies doesn't need to do any more telly.....really.....only a bit?



I'm including this because we need to encourage the young people to watch telly.



and for later on in life, this discovery was made.



I have no idea what this is all about but that looks like one tasty sandwich.

January, sick and tired, you've been hanging on me.

The joy of blogging tools means this post looks like it was published much, much earlier than July, doesn't it?

I never really even finished the December post so it's going to be OK to put this here, isn't it?





Eggheads had an Adam and Joe question on their New Year's Eve show too.

Adam put this wonderful Lego animation from Chris Salt on his YT channel. He commissioned it for his live Bowie shows along with one from the Layzell Brothers. The latter has yet to be noticed on the internet, I fear.



Edgar posted a picture of Joe on Walt's bench.

Attack the Block's composer, Steven Price was nominated for a Bafta, Golden Globe and Oscar this month for his work on Gravity.

Joe's name was included in a rumour about He-Man.

Edgar posted another picture of Joe. He looks like cheeky schoolboy on the first day of term.



Less so in this one.

Kristen made this cushion inspired by the wonderful Baaddad.




Adam was on Eight out of Ten Cats Does Countdown and he made this song.






and he trended....




Adam joined Graham Linehan for Chain Reaction and it seems to be on the iPlayer still.

Jim Field's book has been enhanced by Adam's voice.


OI FROG! Book Trailer from Jim Field on Vimeo.

This Podbean episode includes Adam too.

This turned up for no apparent reason but what the hey.
