Adam & British comedian/poet/actor Tim Key enjoy a rambly conversation as they look at some art in London’s Courtauld Gallery.

This episode was sponsored by ART FUND, the national fundraising charity for art. Find out more by visiting Artfund.org/BUXTON

My friends at Art Fund believe that art can make you see, think, and feel differently. I know, that’s what I thought, but they really mean it. Through the National Art Pass – their growing membership of 139,000 – Art Fund have helped more people see more art. Members enjoy free and reduced price entry to hundreds of museums, galleries, and historic places across the UK. Most importantly, funds raised through the pass help Art Fund to support innovative curators and museums.

EP.77 - TIM KEY

A place to share and listen to Drum and Bass mixes.

Just a middle aged guy that likes some good tunes. Thank you to all the talented musicians out there, you are brightening our lives! You rock.

British comedian Adam Buxton talks with interesting people. The rambly conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes more serious with funny bits. Adam records the intros and outros for most episodes while walking with his dog friend Rosie in the East Anglian countryside where he lives with his wife and three children. 

Adam has appeared in films such as ‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Stardust’ and ‘Son Of Rambow’ as well as a variety of TV shows in the UK. Since 2007 he has hosted ‘BUG’, a live show that combines music videos and comedy that became a TV series on Sky Atlantic in 2012. From time to time he also does live shows featuring just his own material. Along with lifelong friend Joe Cornish he also is one half of award winning TV, radio and podcast duo Adam & Joe who have worked together since 1995. 

You can find many of the insanely catchy jingles Adam makes for the podcast as well as amazing bonus material, beautiful merchandise and a selection of his incredibly funny and brilliant YouTube videos on the free Adam Buxton app.
