EP.274 - HARRY ENFIELD
Adam talks with British comedian Harry Enfield about cringey behaviour as adolescents, coincidental similarities between their Dads, why Chrissie Hynde called Harry 'sperm of the devil', whether satire actually makes any difference, King Charles' reaction to TV comedy show The Windsors in which Harry played Charles and why Paul McCartney has seen Harry's genitals.
There's also a brief taste of Adam's new comedy series SUCCESSPOD - 2026 (Audible)
Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on 6 April, 2026

THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST
British comedian Adam Buxton talks with interesting people. The rambly conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes more serious with funny bits. Adam makes the jingles and 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 the award-winning TV, radio and podcast duo Adam and Joe.
You can find many of the jingles Adam makes for the podcast as well as bonus material and a selection of Adam's YouTube videos on his website: adam-buxton.co.uk
