  • Tony Buffery is a British actor, comedian, and writer – apart from having a career in academic psychology. Buffery got his start in the Cambridge Footlights, but his place in the London Footlights Revue was taken over by Graham Chapman when Buffery chose an academic career over one in entertainment. I do remember that in one year – probably 1967 – Clive [James did a two-man show with Tony Buffery... who had been part of the 1963 Footlights show "Cambridge Circus" which featured John Cleese, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Bill Oddie, and David Hatch, but who as a committed graduate student had not gone with it on its professional tour to the West End and elsewhere. He was – probably still is – an astonishingly funny man not least physically, and I know that Clive always admired him no end. — Pete Atkin, 03 Sep 2006 As a member of the Footlights, Buffery contributed to the writing, music, and/or performance of many of the troupe's productions in the 1960s, including: "This Way Out" (1965-66) "My Girl Herbert" (1964-65) "Stuff What Dreams are Made Of" (1963-64) "A Clump of Plinths" (1962-63) "Double Take" (1961-62) Buffery also appeared in the 1967 Comedy series Twice a Fortnight along with Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Graeme Garden, Bill Oddie, and Jonathan Lynn.
