Overview
Comedian James Acaster unleashes his infectious energy as he explores his love/hate relationship with stand-up - while welcoming a heckle or two. Filmed in Truro, Dublin, and Northampton, we see how this experiment panned out in front of three very different audiences. James Acaster is one of the UK's most exciting and original standup comedians, with sold out UK tours and specials on Netflix (Repertoire series), he has become one of the most well-known faces on the UK comedy scene. He is a best-selling author, actor (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), and a co-host of the hugely popular Off Menu Podcast.
