Adam & Joe Biography
Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish garnered themselves a cult following, especially among young twenty-somethings, in the 90’s due to their unique comedic view on pop culture. Although the two comedians were involved in other projects before and after it was aired, their eponymous TV show “The Adam & Joe Show” is their best known work, which has been described as one of the ‘definitive pop culture parodies of recent times’. The show ran from late 1996 to 2001, lasting 4 series. Recently Adam and Joe have reached cult status again, this time through the medium of radio. Filling in for Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington, they began a 3 year stint at London-only radio station Xfm in 2003, which spawned a series of popular podcasts. Their move to BBC6 Music in 2007 reached larger audiences and their mix of shambolic presentation, pop-culture discussion and original comedy songs (pitted against each other in “Song Wars”) has earned their Saturday morning show a hardcore fanbase and, somewhat reluctantly, its own unexplainable catchphrase: “STEPHEN!”
