Blue Jam is a sketch comedy radio programme created by Chris Morris. It was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 in the early hours of the morning for three series from 1997 to 1999.
The programme gained cult status due to its unique mix of surreal monologue, ambient soundtrack, synthesised voices, heavily edited broadcasts and recurring sketches. It features performances by Morris, Kevin Eldon, Julia Davis, Mark Heap, David Cann and Amelia Bullmore. It was written by Morris, Graham Linehan, Arthur Mathews, Peter Baynham, David Quantick, Jane Bussmann, Robert Katz and the cast.
Warp Records released a compilation of Blue Jam sketches in 2000. Morris adapted Blue Jam into the television series Jam, broadcast on Channel 4 in 2000, and a Blue Jam monologue into the 2002 short film My Wrongs #8245–8249 & 117.
