Michael HalcombHOST
And so
Chris TesterGUEST
like that probably also made it funnier to me as a kid because But then later I got more into guys like Nate Bargatze and Dusty Slay, a British comedian, James Acaster, if you know him.
Chris TesterGUEST
And then after college, I kind of would just go onto Netflix and watch specials.

It
Michael HalcombHOST
So
Chris TesterGUEST
I think inherently comedy or comedy is funnier in person.
Chris TesterGUEST
But I do like, I appreciate, appreciate comedy specials because like, I would have never seen like James Acaster do that material.
Chris TesterGUEST
Other, if I, if I didn't have the, like that opportunity to see that special or like historical comedians, I would have never had an opportunity to see like Jim Gaffigan's first like special or something like that.
David FlatmanHOST
Ramesh Ranganathan, brilliant.
Tom ShanklinHOST
James Acaster.
David FlatmanHOST
Oh, he's the one.
David FlatmanHOST
He's the one.
David FlatmanHOST
Richard Ayoade.
David FlatmanHOST
Yeah, he's the one.
Tom ShanklinHOST
But a lot of these guys, I think, like Rob Beckett, for instance, I think, and James Acaster...
Tom ShanklinHOST
They're funny on, I don't know, Last One Laughing or Would I Lie to You, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
Jamie JacksonHOST
There's some stuff that he, when he was 18, 18 years old, and he was in a comedy competition he did five minutes, but it's not like...
Jamie JacksonHOST
If you look at James Acaster, for example, you can go watch all of his specials, you can watch...
Jamie JacksonHOST
He's all his TV appearances, stuff like that.
Jamie JacksonHOST
Kitson is more of a...
Jamie JacksonHOST
It's like watching Jimi Hendrix play guitar.
Jamie JacksonHOST
It's like, I can't do that.
Jamie JacksonHOST
But what I will say is I did watch James Acaster's special Cold Lasagna, Hate Myself, 1999 special, which was amazing.
Jamie JacksonHOST
Go look it up.
AdamHOST
It's a little wiener dog named Minnie.
AdamHOST
Minnie? And my wife got it for me as a gag gift about three months after we saw James Acaster do a routine about his childhood dog named Minnie.
AdamHOST
But in those three months, I had completely forgotten that portion of the show.
AdamHOST
So when I received this, I was absolutely 100% confused.
speaker_10HOST
I think he is definitely nailing that thing of the public perception is different to how he actually acts.
speaker_10HOST
because he is quite a kind of romantic singer a lot of his songs are to do with love and romance i think people will kind of think that he's kind of this soft kind of lovable person but if you've ever seen his twitter feed he is very very dark and twisted with his humor so i think he would make a very very good sleeper choice for a trailer james acaster james acaster is an interesting one i think he could make a good trailer But I don't know.
speaker_10HOST
I'm not quite feeling it.
speaker_10HOST
I'm going to put him down in Hundi Faithfuls.
speaker_10HOST
I don't know.
speaker_10HOST
Out of all the comedians, just personally, I think Ramesh feels like the strongest choice for a trailer to me.
speaker_10HOST
But I'm a massive fan of James Acaster.
speaker_10HOST
I think he'd make a hilarious trailer.
Stacey EdwardsGUEST
So if I'm watching, first of all, I don't like going to big finished shiny shows.
Stacey EdwardsGUEST
So I'd much rather go watch James Acaster doing a whip at the Bill Murray, which is really fun to do.
Stacey EdwardsGUEST
I've seen a lot of his whips there.
Stacey EdwardsGUEST
And to watch the craft of how it changes between the two whips as well.
Richard HerringHOST

Ian AdkinsGUEST
i'm definitely um over just with my time zone over here uh working in the uk scene a lot so obviously uh anything that james acaster is going to be doing is is something that i would love uh you know we've we we love him over here um there's a comedian red richardson that that put out something a few uh months ago who's fantastic um, Nish, who you've, who you've mentioned before.
Ian AdkinsGUEST
There's so many, there's so many great artists over, over here, uh, that are, you know, how it may be household names over in the UK that are kind of unknown in the U S or have a very small following that, that deserve a break.
Ian AdkinsGUEST
So that's what I'm looking forward to the most.
