4British comedy double act consisting of Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish. First rose to mild prominence with the Creator/{{Channel 4}} comedy ''Series/TheAdamAndJoeShow'' in the late 1990s -- a low budget sketch show with a 'homemade' feel (the set looked like a bedroom). It lasted for four series before they quit, or to quote Joe in the last series: "just as the show becomes popular".

6They presented a few specials on Channel 4 and the BBC before reappearing as [=DJs=] on independent London radio station XFM. They transferred over to [[Creator/TheBBC BBC 6 Music]] with a weekly Saturday morning radio show where [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamandjoe/ they continued to present]] until 2011. Since then, the two men haven't been seen working together much, with Adam frequently appearing in television comedy gameshows, and Joe writing several successful movies, such as ''Film/AntMan1'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin2011'' and ''Film/AttackTheBlock'', also directing the latter. Joe would go on to direct ''Film/TheKidWhoWouldBeKing'', while a sequel to ''Attack the Block'' is in development. Joe wrote and directed the first and last episodes of the first season of ''Series/LockwoodAndCo2023'', adapted from the [[Literature/LockwoodAndCo books]] by Creator/JonathanStroud, also serving as a adapter and showrunner for all episodes.
