The last week of September was pretty insane. There were a couple of days where I clocked in 11 hours at work and when I wasn’t in the office, I was asleep. It always is madness at the start of semester, so goodness knows why I arranged two things to do in London. I’m clearly … More Richard Ayoade and Adam Buxton
I was not a very worldly teenager. I hadn’t travelled, wasn’t too hot on pop culture or current events, tended to watch whatever my parents watched on TV. You could almost say a bit sheltered. So when I saw Adam Buxton dressed as a Klingon singing a terrible song about Star Trek: The Next Generation, … More Adam and Joe – Live at the BFI
About a year ago, I was stood next to a red carpet, repeating the phrase “it’s a documentary about Scientology” to disinterested tourists who smiled, nodded, and drifted away. I don’t routinely visit red carpets, but had accompanied Husband and Tim who had tickets to the premiere of Louis Theroux’s My Scientology Movie. I did … More That’s not “pass the mustard”
Husband and I were on our own for BUG 49 as Tim had a hipster party to attend. Dr Buckles was on sparkling form however, and showed a great selection of videos. My favourites: I haven’t heard of Stealing Sheep before, but this song led to us staying up late to listen to their album. … More Wow Balloons – BUG 49
I’ve had a very funny weekend. Fortunately, it was intentionally funny, starting with Bill Bailey on Friday night. The tickets found their way into my possession very last minute and completely by chance, but I am so glad we said yes because Bill was hilarious. So hilarious that the woman sat next to me couldn’t … More You are applauding the unravelling of a man’s mind
Another photo of Dr Buckles on his bike signals another Bug review. I’ll need to think of more creative ways to photograph his lovely cycling pre-credits sequence. As with the last Bug, I didn’t love all of the songs, but I have become obsessed with one of them at least: Robin Schulz’s Sugar is insanely … More They’d Better Be Building a Kitchen – Bug 48
This blog will be peppered with photos of Dr Buckles on his bike if I keep going to see Bug. And I plan to keep going as watching music videos for a couple of hours is a very pleasurable way to spend an evening. I didn’t enjoy as much of the music in this show, but … More Stop Looking at the Monkey – Bug 47
As Tim pointed out to me, I haven’t actually been to a ‘proper’ Bug. My very first last year was hosted by Doc Brown so apparently doesn’t count but hurrah, I have now lost my Adam Buxton Bug virginity with a visit to Bug 46 on Friday night. We were mesmerised by Dr Buckle’s pre-show video of … More Space Comma – Bug 46
This is the third time I have seen my two favourite Adam’s in a very short space of time – the first was during a comedy season at the Union Chapel, the second at the Bush of the Shepherds, and the past week at two separate, but equally funny gigs. Adam Buxton was doing a five … More We need to talk about Adam
I have been trying to get tickets for Adam Buxton’s BUG for such a long time. I’ve either been out of the country, away for work, or the tickets have sold out before I got to them, and for a while it felt like I was destined to never see BUG live. So when my … More BUG 41
