James Acaster review

If I were a comic watching this I'd be weeping with envy at seeing Acaster add another string to his bow. For everyone else, just sit back and enjoy a modern master at the top of his game.

At the core of this show is a magnificently choreographed piece of storytelling that manages to be hilarious and unsettling.

James Acaster: Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 review

Gone is some of the whimsy of previous shows, jettisoned in favour of raw openness. It's this unexpected honesty, however, coupled with Acaster's expert control, that elevates personal tragedy to new heights.

James Acaster review

Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 is a revelation. In a career-defining two-hour show, he takes all of his comic inventiveness and throws it at some of stand-up's most fashionable tropes.

James Acaster review

The standup refines his intricate tales with a note of personal poignancy for a set that will leave you drunk on its brilliance.

James Acaster interview

People think they approached me and commissioned me to produce four specials - and it's an honour to be on Netflix, obviously - but we very much had to figure out an economical way of doing it so that they would have us.
