    The very first time I had seen James Acaster was during his absolutely brilliant 4 episode Netflix special. I became curious from there, but I knew the man was a genius when I found out that what we see onstage was a persona and somewhere in this man’s head _in this persona_ he’s able to spin a bit about squash from the topic of growing up and throw a serial killer joke in there for good measure. Like what? Am I gonna talk about the segue into lip skin? One thing at a time people.
