Listening to him speak normally is so strange... what a humble man

This is the first time I've seen him talk normally without his weird comedy persona and I'm not sure how I feel.

Confusion is a normal reaction to James Acaster.

Haunter I find I get more respect for the craft of playing this comedic persona rather than him himself actually being that quirky

if you want to hear more of him, without his persona, then watch his scrapes. there's a channel dedicated to them: kzread.info/dron/Rga7ZmyStFHozmkLtul5Nw.htmlvideos.

caron thanks for the link. I've actually been listening to a few of those from Josh W's show. But this is more the fact that I'm actually watching (not just listening to) him be normal here!

Haunter: he’s been brilliant on both Richard Herring’s and Stuart Goldsmith’s podcasts, and probably others’ as well.

Honestly one of the best stand-up show I've ever seen, incredible how the full 4 hours are independently funny but also interwoven and connected. Genius creation by James Acaster, hope him and other comedians create more like this.

Lot of work though. Most comedians would rather have 1 solid 2 hour show. I think this idea was unique and clever - much like Acaster himself.

Christ he's humble. As an American fan of British panel shows, and subsequently British comedians, I'm so glad to see his success grow here - and I hope he's properly delighted with himself. He deserves all the recognition he's getting as of late, and more.

we need a club.. and t shirts.

he's very humble and self-aware, clearly someone who's spent a lot of time thinking about his craft and his service to it, refreshing!

He often openly talks about how his mental state effects his confidence and is really helping to normalize introverted quirks. Love him more for clocking the whys

I’m from America and I watched all 4 hours. He is one of my favorite stand up comedians now.

I've started saying "No more jobs" just before bed. Never a truer joke spoken! 😁

The Holy Goat Nah that’s not his sort of humour. He always keeps very clean show. Barely any swearing.

James Acaster is a top comedian as far as I'm concerned. He has a terrific on stage persona, new ways of segueing into new topics and just seems very likeable. He's truly great in his profession and I wish him great success.

Watched this with the Kettering town FC chant playing in the back of my head.

He's wonderful. I hope to meet a man as lovely and funny as James.

weird seeing him out of character, seems like a good lad to go for a pint with

I am a huge fan of stand up comedy. James Acaster on Netflix is the best surprise I have seen in a long time. His show was great. Highly recommend checking it out!

I’m from Russia, I’m about to watch the special for the third time in a week. I’m won over! James rocks

Gosh it's so weird to see him talk normally, without his comedy persona, he seems lovely! He's hilarious- I've seen all of his specials and they're absolutely genius. He deserves so much admiration and praise. Thanks for the all the laughs James

If he ever comes to Winnipeg I'll be there. With a cabbage

Mate, I'm from Germany and a huge fan and I do hope that I get to see you live one day. Please continue to provide us with your great wit!

Genius. Best comedian in the world today, without a close second

You must have not watched many comedians. Not saying James is bad, he is absolutely fantastic. But your statement is quite a stretch.

A masterpiece of original very clever comedy. Watch all 4 together. Unique there is no one like him, totally new dimension in comedy

cokerainbows His Stand-up certainly isn’t for everyone but he appeals to mild-mannered middle classes as he doesn’t need to joke about shit, vomit or sex to be funny. Also a lovely human being.

I always enjoyed his appearances on panel shows, but wasn't really familiar with his repertoire (haha). Have just watched all four specials, and was really impressed. Really clever stuff, and very funny.

James, your comedy is absolutely fantastic! Been on a Netflix marathon. Cheers from Germany.

Here from America. James is one of the most unique comics of today, and is definitely one of my favorites for material and personality.

Love him so so so so so much ! Also guys should you listen to his podcasts “off menu” with Ed Gamble .

His shows came onto my Netflix account and I binged all four. So well crafted and hilarious little bits! And I'm Canadian!

I’m watching Repertoire for the umpteenth time.

The best up-and-coming British comedian for ages.

Yeah I was beyond excited to get that notification mate. No worries. I still go back and watch the whole of Repertoire every couple of months because it's just so good.

Meant to watch one of the shows to take a break from writing a rather pressing paper and ended up watching all four... worth it. Hope he does a show in Toronto someday!

I'd never heard of James before I saw the clip on Netflix and was hooked immediately, he's brilliantly funny.

Much love from America! Laughed my ass off all four hours. Easily one of my favorites now. Want to see him in SF next week if only for work aghhhh!!!!

This American watched it, and it was amazing.

James, here from America and a huge fan. Love your comedy!

Such a humble guy, and darn well hilarious too!

Omg I watched him on Netflix and such a big fan now! Lots of love from USA

I really like this guy. I’ve seen him on panel shows and quiz shows. 8/10 cats and the like

Sorry to hear that he has bad days like the rest of us. Cheer up! You're great! :) I hope he has a long and happy career. He works at Pret a Manger right? lol. "Not all of the bananas are free."

As an American I would like to say that I saw the trailer and decided to watch all four shows at once because, it was three in the morning, I was really sad and, the comedy seemed like my kind of comedy. I do not regret watching!

Oh man. We definitely watched it. Again and again and again and again....

Weird seeing him being... like... normal?

This American loves James Acaster!!! He’s so funny!!

This was a hilarious show. I absolutely loved it.

This guy seems like such a nice guy - bloody funny too!

Absolute legend! Love this guy.

love this guy!

fav comedian

I've watched about ten times! Highlight of my Fringe a couple of years ago was seeing James at the Pleasance. I'm Edinburgh born and bred and some years the FestivL just annoys me. I love his surreal take on ordinary things. Open a banana shop in Edinburgh James. 👍🙋

Hours of giggles! Keep it up James! Cheers to Kitteringa!

Brilliant special(s).. in my opinion.

I watched all of 'em. From the states. I was howling the whole time.

Yes James, we're DEFINATELY watching you in America...PLEASE come back!

american here... i was hooked in the first minute and then binged all 4! and i rewatched them probably 5 times each as well. i can’t get enough

I will say that I absolutely binged the fuck out of his 4 things.

The fact that it was a 4-parter definitely got my attention. So when I stumbled upon it, I clicked. And life hasn't been the same since. :O

what a great guy

oh yeah, Watch his Netflix special, " Repertoire ". It's 4 shows, almost an hour long each and they are sooo good! Kettering Town FC! :))))))))))))))))

Enjoyed all 4 shows very much. From the US and all the while being French so yes Netflix shrinks distances and expands access to things I would have never come across otherwise.

Would love to see you in New Zealand, you have a few fans here at least, most of us from before your netflix special.

agh i want him to come to canada so badlyyyy

(american) if i saw an email in my inbox that there was a new 4 hour james acaster special on netflix i would literally drop everything and watch it

Great! 😊

He’s brilliant and funny…and also seems like a nice person. Of course, I also spend a lot of time thinking about what I’d choose for my dream menu on ‘Off Menu’

I'd come see James in Chicago any time

Bloody genius

Literally the only reason I've ever signed up for Netflix.

I'm an American fan. There's at least one.

And here we are 2019 and he's touring in America :)

He's attractive

After seeing Cold Lasagna Hate Myself 1999...I had an idea to search for some clips of him being "out of character"...it defo adds sooooo much to his stories. Its strange to see him being out of his chaotic persona and being "normal" :)

Love from India James acaster

I can’t believe he is normal. LMAO

He has material on Netflix, yet he still pays for his subscription xD

Oi! Springfield! Why are your wire recordings available for digital download????

I have a boyfriend who is a huge Polish bloke with tattoos from head to toes, bald head and constantly looks like he's peed off. He's a good man though lol, just to be clear, he might look like a hoodlum (🤣) but he's just a hard core punk. My point is, my taste in men is completely the opposite of Acaster and yet he is up there with Tom Hardy for sexiest celebs alive imho. He's cute, intelligent, articulate, compassionate, respectful, humble and obviously hilarious. An absolute hunk! 😍 (no disrespect to his girlfriend or my boyfriend haha ❤🤣❤)

I've just finished watching the first two episodes of this. The first episode was great. Had shades of comedians I really like. Then I watch episode 2... I'd be very surprised if Stewart Lee doesn't have something to say about it. Taking inspiration is one thing but ripping off another comedians style so blatantly just fucking bollocks. Interesting to see who he does on episode 3.

Did you really think that? I mean I see a few small similarities but I don't think there's any cause to say that there's been any copying. Important to note that James has been doing stand up for over 15 years now. Also, the Netflix shows, although being filmed in 2017, are older Edinburgh fringe shows of his and were therefore written and initially performed a good few years ago.
