James Acaster review
Five nominations for the Edinburgh Comedy Award are surely a recommendation for James Acaster - and with his intelligent, offbeat humour and a wry delivery, he has rightly built up an impressive following at the Fringe (where I saw this show), having improved his craft year on year. Now he embarks on his biggest tour yet and is certain to add to his rapidly growing fanbase.

Australian comic with a pleasingly original take on modern life.

Anderson is an astute judge of when to buzz the end of a game.

Funny and challenging show about his parents.

Filthy, funny chat from the 'renowned homosexual'.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 22nd May 2016Review: Upstart Crow, BBC Two
David Mitchell, like all the cast, is superb, and his pedantic, sarcastic panel show persona works beautifully for the put-upon Will. Ben Elton's script is a gag-rich riot of clever comedy, the kind that has to be watched at least twice to appreciate all the jokes and references, the sight gags and throwaways. Complete joy from start to finish.

There's some mildly subversive satire in there if you look hard enough.

There's so much in the world that makes him righteously angry.
