James Acaster's VERY British Drink Problems | COLD LASAGNE HATE MYSELF 1999
Комедия
You dirty top of the tea! You're so dirty!
(...don't forget to heap those teaspoons. HEAP THEM HIGH!)
WINNER OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING SHOW AT MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL 2019
“There’s a rush you get when you watch a routine that has been burnished to gem-like perfection, every phrase and pause chiseled and grooved to maximize the surprise; I felt drunk on it after two hours of this set. Joke after joke operates on a plane to which standup seldom ascends.” - The Guardian
“James Acaster already has a reputation as a comedy craftsman, but here he has surpassed even his own superlative standards…the way Acaster constructs his story, the way he develops themes and teases out humorous strands, is true genius.” - Evening Standard
“A revelation…career-defining two-hour show.” - The I Paper
Filmed 17.01.2019 EartH in Hackney, London.

What I love about this is it’s a complete flip on the trans-exclusionary status quo on comedy. I see Christian conservatives getting offended in these comments and it’s like the pin never drops for them
After watching his netflix specials, hes def one of the top 5 comics out there right now. Original, funny, and doesnt resort to picking on anyone that doesnt deserve it
So glad they made this top of the tea joke a clip. Was a highlight of the show for me in the audience!

There's several gags he has in this special that are this peak design of doing something that doesn't seem all that funny or is kind of cringe, only for him to retroactively make it hilarious with how he caps the bit off. It's brilliant.

Yes it's a really interesting take on audience expectations, the tacit 'rules' about what he can and can't say before his jokes start to seem off. If anyone could pull it off it had to be James I can't imagine what it's like to become famous for a few appearances on panel shows and one bakeoff meme; he really had to work on his standup persona to stay true to himself I bet

@@fairy5668 you're right but he does address those things in Cold Lasagne, there's a difference between being a rising star/winning awards and becoming known internationally for a meme/panel show clips - some people who don't really know you come to your show expecting a specific type of comedy that definitely isn't what you usually do, and then they get angry when you don't give them what they feel entitled to

Right wing politics that invariably remove human rights, mismanage the common funds, and induce suffering. Also a holier than thou attitude that is surly, unpleasant and quite arrogant.
Gawky English attention to detail, filtered through green pastures of absurdity and generational disappointment. He is such a typical Brit. And yet stands alone. Maverick.
