Description

<p>Richard Ayoade is one of the modern masters of UK comedy, honing his craft at Cambridge (where he was President of the Footlights Society performing group -- which also include John Oliver). Since then he has become a staple on British tv with great roles in classic sitcoms such as The Mighty Boosh and The IT Crowd. He now hosts a clever travel show called "Travel Man" in which he explores a different city each episode with a celebrity guest. Find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows!</p> <p>Want more Ayoade?</p> <p>The Brits have a gift for comedy television shows that are very funny AND very surreal. Case in point -- The Mighty Boosh. It's so hard to describe in print, so just feast your eyes. <a href='https://youtu.be/ngXzLcWGMTY?fbclid=IwAR1GSPwJVn3fVNL0daY9PeQuUksQ07hZ5_dz3w71yw1hFMH-Z_tONyBLtB4'>https://youtu.be/ngXzLcWGMTY</a></p> <p>While a long-rumored US version has yet to materialize, the UK show The IT Crowd remains a cult favorite. In the show, Ayoade plays Moss -- a socially awkward and painfully shy computer tech. Here's a fan clip of the Best of Moss. <a href='https://youtu.be/o0gH_omVWIg?fbclid=IwAR1Rk3XkxX1e4vQhgMkxi2KVb7Qutsr7vdDiXCfelorKH6M4m-FliVJFWWU'>https://youtu.be/o0gH_omVWIg</a></p> <p>Richard Ayoade may seem an unlikely choice to host a travel show, but he makes the show like his humor -- full of dry wit and wry observations. The premise of Travel Man is simple. Ayoade and a celebrity guest explore a foreign city for 48 hours. In the hands of Ayoade and a fine guest such as Jon Hamm, it's a delight to watch. <a href='https://youtu.be/q2C0EO0zzAY?fbclid=IwAR1Rk3XkxX1e4vQhgMkxi2KVb7Qutsr7vdDiXCfelorKH6M4m-FliVJFWWU'>https://youtu.be/q2C0EO0zzAY</a></p> <p> </p>
