What is missing here are his strange eye movements - (now, he looks to the side then focuses back to the camera) I'd assumed that was a tic from childhood, but no - he's developed it now. I like it though, makes him different.
I'll be honest, I thought the 'one Night Stand' part of the title was pointing to a totally different set of jokes, but I still nonetheless extremely happy with what I got. Man, James Acaster is the bomb.
I had a coworker that died suddenly in a car accident. People were joking around about how she didnt bother to turn up for the morning meeting or email us. We found out during the meeting what had happened a couple nights before. So I never joke about people being dead now.
shrive /ʃrʌɪv/ verb ARCHAIC (of a priest) hear the confession of, assign penance to, and absolve. "none of her chaplains knew English or French enough to shrive the king" present oneself to a priest for confession, penance, and absolution.
on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins) it is a Xtian festival a part of Easter getting rid of the foods they were abstaining from for Lent which starts Ash Wednesday and Pancake Day is always 47 days before easter sunday when God died
i can't think of one thing i don't like about this post: prof pic - check, acc name - check, comment - gold. congratulations! you have achieved the youtube trifecta
Turns out shriving is something like confessing... Out of season shriving? What has that to do with pancakes? (Middle-English is not my first language)
He worked with autistic children and relised they have a very unintentional humourous side in terms of innocence that can be used as dry humour. As soon as I saw James I thought he was on the spectrum of Asperger's but I genuinely believe that he addapted his game more through his experience with these special kind people and it has benefited him . Not in a way that is insulting or offensive but dry just like we see Sheldon cooper on the big bang theory he also makes me think he is based on some kind of spectrum due to his genius but anywho........ Very entertaining
I don't find his stand up routine that good, but when he's on the panel shows like Mock the Week or WILTY he's absolutely brilliant. His brain works so fast and he can think up a brilliant comment in a split second.
This was a while ago. He's improved a lot. I saw him at the Edinburgh festival a few years ago and he was brilliant. He's a regular on Mock the Week now and he is so funny.
This earlier stuff is amazing. It only cements his brilliance even further. He's come such a long way and developed his character perfectly.
It’s crazy to see what a bit of confidence can do, fair play to him
Practice makes perfect
Who is this smiling person and what’s he done with James?
John Robbins?
He is James
Come on man, he’s had a brilliant day.
it's so great to see him re use these jokes in his repertoire series but more polished so you can see his growth
His voice is Soo different here than in other things I've heard him in, like his Netflix special and recent stand up
I think this voice much better
It's less forced charismatic.
He uses a stage persona now
It's his facial hair.
Same with Jimmy Carr’s early stuff
He has improved his delivery dramatically.
He sounds so different now! His speech impedement isn't even that noticable here.
This is how Pat Springleaf used to speak, obviously he changed.
I still hear it. When he said "death" and "think" it was particularly noticable.
I had no idea he had used to have that
It's his comedy act he puts on
What speech impediment?
What is missing here are his strange eye movements - (now, he looks to the side then focuses back to the camera) I'd assumed that was a tic from childhood, but no - he's developed it now. I like it though, makes him different.
He is so unique. I cannot watch enough of his comedy whether stand up or panel show appearances. We have nothing like him in The States
‘Dead in a ditch’ is my default answer to anyone asking where someone or something is. The missus hates it especially when asking where the dog is
He always leaves a carrot early on for the end of his show ...Brilliant
wow, this is like a relic, a little fledgeling acaster
That's Pat Springleaf!
We lollipopped together.
doesn't feel right seeing Milton not being all awkward and stuff
I'll be honest, I thought the 'one Night Stand' part of the title was pointing to a totally different set of jokes, but I still nonetheless extremely happy with what I got. Man, James Acaster is the bomb.
He is hilarious, I really want to see him live. :)
I hope he lives too
I'm just a simple American. I see James Acaster and I click.
JT Pledger im not american but i agree with your general idea, james acaster is hilarious 😄
Typical American
When you forget pancake day its because it crêped up on you
stop yourself
Dad?! That you?
I know you love the Sat Nav, but did you really have to create a username about it?
No.
Bit flat...
First time I’ve ever heard Milton Jones say anything that wasn’t a joke
Hey man, wanna shrive Thursday?
No, I just shrove Tuesday.
Out-of-season shriving... brilliant...
wheres the god of self confidence ive seen on netflix, who is this imposter
Cocaine- hell of a drug
Beautiful call backs.
Does anyone else find it weird to hear Milton not say a 1 liner?
Marry me, James!!!! 😂 seriously adorable though.
Aries Leo rising dibs if he's gay 👀
THIS GUY MAKE ME SMILEY
James acaster walking on to brimful of asha after being introduced by Milton Jones. Yep, this is the best video ever
Hope everyone's had a good Shrive today, because I haven't.
I shrove yesterday
Gee, I haven't shriven since 2017.
I'm surprised that Acaster is pronounced Acaster. It seems like it should be pronounced Acaster.
~i know what you mean, i always thought it was pronounced Acaster! my mistake . . .
Thomas Yates I'm really glad that's been cleared up because iv lost sleep over this.
I am sure it must have been pronounced Acaster originally but through the ages it got morphed to Acaster.
You're all wrong anyway, it's pronounced Acaster.
jedi fu Ive thought this a lot. I always read it as Acaster but apparently it's Acester. Who know
Absolutely fantastic!
It's so strange seeing James all fresh faced and smiley compared to his current day persona. Either way he's an absolute comedy legend!
Oh god his old voice lol
Good lord, i'll be joining customer service, I NEEDED THIS!!
Please sign my neck, please James. 😙
I had never seen this one, brilliant!
I had a coworker that died suddenly in a car accident. People were joking around about how she didnt bother to turn up for the morning meeting or email us. We found out during the meeting what had happened a couple nights before. So I never joke about people being dead now.
hilarious
okay?
Anyone else expecting "Nice to see you all... I hoped it'd be you" ?
Really good! I love dry humour. Also.......He looks like Jarvis Cocker's lost twin :)
If Jarvis Cocker and Steve Davis fucked and had a love child....
One of the best!
Brilliant! Thanks for uploading and thanks to you, too, Jekaterina!
Come on down to lil bits!
"You stupid fucking bitch haha I'm just joking."
Gotta love interdimentional cable adds.
Format is unmatched!
Brilliant..x
shrive
/ʃrʌɪv/
verb
ARCHAIC
(of a priest) hear the confession of, assign penance to, and absolve.
"none of her chaplains knew English or French enough to shrive the king"
present oneself to a priest for confession, penance, and absolution.
he looks a bit like an inbetweener
He looks like Mr Bean
glittery panini Richard yeah? Richard!
@@gangsternews4815 well fun fact, his ex gf left him for the actual Mr Bean
He looks uncannily like a young Ade Edmondson & it's tripping me out
Bianca Pencz Yh! Like the way Eddie on bottom moved? Say kinda motion
Class 😊
Omg he must have made the restaurant little bits!!! "Oh shit, we got tiny people"
Wow so this is the development/ the making of the whimsical James acaster character. He’s a low more mellow here
this looks like it was filmed in 2002 wtf haha
Just checked the dictionary and the definition of "Shrove" really is the past tense of "shrive".
nahhhh, as if this has popped up today (on Ash Wednesday)
I remember seeing this when it was first on and thinking "This Weasley kid is pretty funny"
on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were “shriven” (absolved from their sins) it is a Xtian festival a part of Easter getting rid of the foods they were abstaining from for Lent which starts Ash Wednesday
and Pancake Day is always 47 days before easter sunday when God died
4:04 is gold haha
Once of the best and I'm not drunk writing b it is
Well said
masterful.
This is a false James acaster, give us our constantly tic-ing, weird eye movement making, speech impediment having king back
can't forget where you came from, it's good to see what he's learned and developed
Damn i watched the whole thing in hopes it would be about a one night stand
You enjoy watching video's about James and Dave's one night stand do you?
Name of the show geez
Same lol
Rodney from Fools and horses.
I was hoping he would do the one about taramasalata
He sounded so different
You funny, clever man
tall handsome bloke!
I googled 'shrove' and yeah it says 'Passed tense of shrive'
Oh wow, he hadn't developed his speech impediment then - sounds way deeper too.
The impediment is fully there.
Damn Milton doing a normal thing is so weird
SW6!!!!
WHAT IS THE SONG IN THE BEGINING?!?!
Cornershop - Brimful of Asha
James' facial hair reminds me of the bumfluff I rocked in year 8.
ItsComingOutOfBothEnds ....don't leave us in suspense, what happened to the bumfluff?
i can't think of one thing i don't like about this post: prof pic - check, acc name - check, comment - gold. congratulations! you have achieved the youtube trifecta
Watched this on ash wednesday 😖 🥞
Turns out shriving is something like confessing... Out of season shriving? What has that to do with pancakes? (Middle-English is not my first language)
My friends and I, when we were in high school, once made that joke and the person was dead. Never made that joke again.
He's all different here :0 hmm..
did this man age backwards???
I thought it was shove Tuesday.
I've always said merry Ash Wednesday, not happy. It's like Christmas, not new year.
to be fair they say happy Christmas in the UK
@@nuisancepenguin5210 Nope.
Why does he sound like Noel Fielding
They're both English?
@@Rose-jz6sx no Im pretty sure its coz he sounds very slow and bored, not to say he is actually bored or boring tho
@Nichole Jacks, It is too bad. I heard he was dead.
+TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND it was Joe cocker who died not jarvis. ... thank god
Brimful of cabbage on the 45.

This is from when he was just starting out. He's much fast and much more polished now.
You know those programs are scripted right?
HE WILL BE ALRIGHT IF HE STAYS WITH AUDIENCES THAT THINK THEY ARE EDUCATED.
this comment made me think
Will he not be alright if he goes to audiences who don't think they're educated?
A comment from somebody who therefore thinks they are intelligent. Hoisted mate.
Sounds like he'd swallowed his own voice back then...
I hate shrivers. And skirkers.
Are they like bunburyists?
Dear Fellow Americans...FAT TUESDAY...Paczki anyone?
I don't see why people think he's funny tbh 🤷
i like this guy , he is just toooo slow
This is an old video, he is MUCH faster now. :) His Netflix special is Grade A stuff.
@@andthe2380 Thanks Very much for the reply , i will check out netflix this evening :) :)
@@Baz7575 Great to hear. The best 4 hours of your life! :) Also, you can watch it over again too because there's so much content. enjoy.
Being so good in mock the week, this was really disappointing...
this is old as fuck though
Yeah? Fair enough then, he's much better now
This was a while ago. He's improved a lot. I saw him at the Edinburgh festival a few years ago and he was brilliant. He's a regular on Mock the Week now and he is so funny.
Not funny why are they all laughing
wow this is like watching an unfunny comedian with no charm
melmouth wilde .....you are such a charmer......😂😂😂
melmouth wilde you're supposed to look at the screen not the mirror
Zed-Ex Gaming oooooooh 😂😂
his stand up has gotten much better now
