Kathryn VanArendonk, Vulture, 9th March 2021James Acaster: latest special more personal than ever
The show was filmed in December 2019 at the EartH theatre in London after an extended world tour that included the West End. The title, Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999, is not explained in the special itself; rather, it's a reference to jokes that were cut before the taping (seen here on The Jonathan Ross Show), which feels uniquely fitting for this delightful hodgepodge.
