James Acaster: Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999

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.

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.

He is incredibly unique, untouchable. Brilliantly written yet the delivery is so natural. Such an innovative and comically clever way of describing pretty dark moments of his life (e.g. Through the viewpoint of his agent). Loveable, communicates tremendously, made me laugh out loud when I was watching it alone, as well as feel for him deeply. He is changing the course of stand-up. I wish him all the best in whatever he does in the future as well as for his general well-being.

This special is not funny or interesting which is definitely special coming from the guy that came up with Repertoire.

One of the funniest stand up specials I've watched! Didn't think it could get better than Repertoire but this is on a whole other level of funny!
