Adam Buxton

Adam Buxton is a British comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster best known as one half of the comedy partnership Adam and Joe (with Joe Cornish) and as the host of The Adam Buxton Podcast, one of the UK's most popular and beloved podcasts. Born Adam Zan Buxton in London in 1969, he was educated at Westminster School and the University of Bristol, where he met Joe Cornish. The pair created The Adam and Joe Show on Channel 4 (1996-2001), a cult comedy programme featuring their own low-budget recreations of popular films using toys and action figures, original songs, and other creative segments. They also presented a popular show on BBC 6 Music. Buxton has appeared in numerous films and television programmes, including Hot Fuzz, Stardust, and various comedic roles. He is known for his distinctive voice work and his ability to find comedy in everyday life. The Adam Buxton Podcast, launched in 2015, has become his defining solo project — long, rambling, intimate conversations with friends, comedians, musicians, and other creative people, recorded in locations ranging from his Norfolk studio to walks through the countryside with his dog Rosie (later Diva). The podcast is beloved for its warmth, its authenticity, and Buxton's gift for making conversations feel both hilarious and genuinely meaningful. I Love You, Byeee is his book — a warm, funny, and personal memoir reflecting on his life, his career, and the things that matter to him. It captures the same spirit of honest, self-deprecating, enthusiastic engagement with life that has made his podcast so popular. The audiobook edition, read by Buxton himself, is a particular delight — his distinctive voice and comedic delivery make it a wonderful listening experience. His book and audiobook are essential for anyone who appreciates comedy that is warm, intelligent, and genuinely human.
