Adam and Joe's Famous Guy

[swaddon]

I've never heard of this before, but it's on BBC Radio 4 Extra (formerly BBC Radio 7) tonight at 10:30pm.

"'I'm the best at pretending' - a reclusive Hollywood star tells all. Stars Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish. From April 2006."

It is repeated quite regularly but I hadn't noticed it in the schedule!

Thanks! Heard this before, but the repeat was wonderful.

Adam still uses Famous Guy as a character in his live shows sometimes (not BUGs). The show Hobbsy and I saw last year had a whole section of Famous Guy and he used him in his MeeBox pilot. This radio play has both of them credited with the writing and I've read Adam saying 'me and Joe created him' but Adam does an hilarious portrayal. It's one to keep on the iPod.

judging by the signature I have a feeling the above poster may turn into a spambot

ooops....I didn't put a reminder in here. This aired again on Radio 4 Extra just now. It might be on the iPlayer too.
