About Me
- Adam Macqueen
- I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

Huzzah! Did you ever see the Viz exhibition? It was held in a gallery somewhere in London, probably about ten years ago, and had some wonderful exhibits; Models, original strips, framed letters of complaint alongside their offending cartoons (and, in a couple of cases, the brilliant response strips, the best being 'DC Thompson the Humourless Scottish Git'), even an art student's project in which they created sculptures based on popular Profanisaurus phrases (a window with slices of beef hanging in front of it, etc).
Anyhow, one of my favourite exhibits was the Vibrating Bum-faced Goat ride. It was a coin-operated children's ride, badly charred around the seat, electronics exposed, with a chalk outline of a body on the ground beside it and all fenced off with police tape. Genius...
