Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 18th July 2018Review: Latitude 2018 - Adam Buxton
This special show marked the tenth birthday of Buxton's Bug events, in which he picks some of his favourite videos and highlights some of the more amusing YouTube comments below them, often putting on rather eccentric accents or outraged voices or shouting loudly whenever someone uses LOCKED CAPS. There were also songs from Buxton, clips of him doing some very funny dad dancing in a field and general bearded silliness. It was one of my favourite shows at Latitude this year.
