James Acaster: Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999

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!

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.

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.

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