Maybe this caption shouldn't be living heeeeeeeeeeeere!
“Whatafunnyface, a wuza wuz, lolly bif, Stephen!, I luv you bruv.” They’re not exactly catchphrases but millions of BBC6 Music listeners will know what they mean.
I love Adam and Joe (that’s Buxton and Cornish) – their TV show was an important part of my twenties and rediscovering them on BBC6 Music, their other TV work, movies etc, has been a real joy. Adam’s YouTubery in particular has been a real inspiration, proving it’s ok to post random bolox occasionally without fear it won’t find an audience. So to see “Count Buckules” (a name that my iPhone doesn’t understand and keeps wanting to predictively correct with the word “bukkake”) in the hairy flesh was a treat. His show, Bug, came to Bristol on July 23rd 2011 as part of the Comedy Garden festival – adding to the huge list of Bristol’s great annual gigs such as Bristol Silents, Encounters Film Festival, the Balloon Fiesta and the Great Annual Clockwork Gibbon Race (one of which I’ve just made up, can you guess which?).
I would have loved to have met him and given him the Powerpuff Girls Heroes and Villians CD that I’ve long harboured as my main conversation starter with him, but it can wait until next time.
Random humour makes me laugh more than anything else, especially when it’s so intensely meticulously planned randomness and I encourage anyone into the same to seek out Doctor Buckles (and Commander Cornballs) in their various other occupations or at least visit Adam’s blog (below) and YouTube site for a few dozen belly larfs.
