Early-life:
Adam Offord Buxton was born in London on June 7, 1969. He met Joe Cornish at the age of 13 when they were pupils at the independent Westminster School. With their friend Louis Theroux, they used to re-enact their favourite sketches from Not the Nine O'Clock News. Adam went on to spend two terms at Warwick University before taking up sculpture at Cheltenham College of Art.
Career:
In 1995, Buxton and Cornish submitted a video sketch for a comedy show on Channel 4 called Takeover TV. This led to them being hired to do continuity links and a year later, they were given their own show on Channel 4 called The Adam and Joe Show. This ran for four series between 1996 and 2001 and it took the form of short sketches interspersed with links filmed from a bedsit. Buxton's father, Nigel, appeared in a weekly sketch as the character BaaadDad. Buxton and Cornish went on to present radio shows on Xfm and BBC Radio 6 Music. Buxton boosted his acting CV with roles in Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), Swiss Toni, The IT Crowd, Hot Fuzz (2007), Son of Rambow (2007), Stardust (2007), The Persuasionists and Country Man. Since 2007, he has hosted the BFI's music video showcase Bug. A TV version, Adam Buxton's Bug, was shown on Sky Atlantic in 2012. Buxton guest starred in several episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown in 2014 and 2015. He has produced The Adam Buxton Podcast since September 2015.
Quote:
"When I'm at my home, I'm in front of my computer for at least six hours, and all that time I'm online generally clicking away and distracting myself."
Trivia:
Buxton has narrated a number of children's stories for iPad apps.
