James Acaster: Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999

Have watched and seen live a lot of standup in my lifetime and I tried and abandoned watching this guys 4 part special on Netflix.

But I tried to give him another try after reading the reviews of this special. I turned it off half way through because he is not funny and he drones on and on without me even smirking at anything he says.

I know comedy and standup are especially fickle for what people like and I guess I just don't like this guy.

Pat Springleaf aka James Acaster picks up what he laid down in Repertoire, and this time his brilliance and razor sharp observation, wit and logic are cranked up to 11. HUGE fan of James' and can't wait for this to be released On Demand or DVD. The live stream was amazing and it needs to be watched by me many more times.

His Netflix special of 4 shows over previous years is clearly his best work. I love this man and this new content is more humbling and closer to his heart clearly. Great work as always but if you are expecting similar outlandish hypothetical scrapes this isn't it.

Edit: I put this on again the next day and have now bumped my score to 9. It definitely has a deeper meaning and is more of a cohesive routine than his others. I 'challenge' you to watch it again.

Bloody Crizzos. I love this man. He's come back with a vengeance and he's funnier than ever! Definitely going to watch this over and over.

I've been a fan of James Acaster for a long long time and this is by far his best work yet 👏🏼
