Hello and welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Connor Boyle. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with comedian, writer and podcaster Adam Buxton. In conversation with columnist Katlyn Moran, Buxton reflected on the stories behind his new memoir, I Love You By, his early days in DIY TV, and personal tales of family, fame and fatherhood. Recorded live at Union Chapel in May 2025, this is part one of the event and for full access you can head to intelligencesquare.com slash membership.
Now let's join Adam Buxton and Katlyn Moran with more. At the start of the episode you may notice that Adam makes reference to a costume that he's wearing. It's difficult to do the costume justice in words. So we've added a link to a photo of Adam wearing it in the podcast description. Hello, good evening.
Oh, it's nice to be here, isn't it? We're in church, a church of warmth and friendship and fun. So a classic two-minute introduction to the star of a live event like this usually consists of, and I throw no shade here because I've done it myself, someone basically rehashing the relevant Wikipedia entry and then really selling you a load of facts and dates and figures in your best circus ringmaster voice. You then do the evening admin, which I will do here, which is to remind you that we're here to celebrate the release of I Love You By, Adam's second book. the following up the follow-up to the best-selling Ramble book, in which he talks about the death of his mother, parenthood, marriage, fame, music, and various accumulated wisdoms, and then it'll be followed by questions from you, the audience, after an hour.
