Adam Buxton is a comedian, writer, podcaster — and one of the UK’s most beloved cultural figures. Best known for The Adam Buxton Podcast, The Adam and Joe Show on Channel 4, and the distinctive blend of surreal and self-deprecating humour he brings to all his work, Buxton has spent decades making people laugh while also offering insightful reflections on the quirks, highs, lows and occasional heartbreak of modern life.
In May 2025 Buxton came to the Intelligence Squared stage to celebrate the publication of his new memoir*, I Love You, Byeee: Rambles on DIY TV, Rockstars, Kids and Mums*, the highly anticipated sequel to his previous memoir Ramble Book: Musings on Childhood, Friendship, Family and 80s Pop Culture. In conversation with bestselling author and columnist Caitlin Moran**, Buxton dove into stories from the book and beyond, reflecting on his creative partnership with Joe Cornish, encounters with icons like David Bowie, and the joys and absurdities of family life.
The conversation that spans laughter, loss, ageing, and parenthood – all delivered in Adam’s signature blend of humour and heart.
