There was so much about those sets that made them masterpieces. Definitely worthy of repeat listening.

    James has been brought up so well by his parents. He is really lucky to have had such a wholesome Christian upbringing.
    Hang on, Rob. Did you actually offer him an empty invite and then try to retract it, or was that just play acting? If it was then it was phenomenal acting.

    I saw Billy Connolly two nights running years ago, and it revealed the honing needed for every gag. First night, the punchline about Olympics and the javelin hitting a spectator depended on Aussies knowing that "terraces" are the cheap seats. Billy noticed the gentle laugh at a gag which received more in the UK, and changed the punchline to "the cheap seats" on night 2. Big laugh, because the joke is NOT that javelins are spears, but that THAT is why THOSE seats are cheap. Subtle brilliance.

    i like two to three layers of irony
    beyond that it stops being cerebral or creative and goes into being spineless. Not committing to the bit. "am I a character? or am I playing the character?" >>> "am I a character? or am I playing the character? or am I a character playing a character? or am I playing a character playing a a character? " and so on
    James is amazing for that. He has a unique voice along with the irony, the exaggerated mannerisms, and an off stage personality that isn't always out there but out enough.

    • @snr0n
      @snr0n 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You don't need to worry, because it's actually not any harder now - a small handful of comedians have been complaining that you can't joke about anything anymore for literally a century. Sadly, there's nothing new about people who feel bizarrely entitled to a continuing career even though they're incapable of evolving their act to present material modern audiences find funny, nor those who sell out tours and net lucrative broadcast deals built around the idea that they're being somehow censored.
      Funny people don't need to worry about offending people, they just get on with the job of being funny. And James is definitely fantastic at it, although of course he's not inoffensive to everyone - certainly saw some very upset people who didn't enjoy him calling out lazy transphobic comedians in his last special!

    I ❤ James Acaster with all my heart! I'm from California and discovered James through various UK game-show panels, and he quickly became my favorite comedian.
    His 4-part Special was Genius!!!
    Also, a BIG fan of Rob! 😍

    I love that this interview happened! I was hoping but not sure if it was going until I heard Rob mention it during another interview (I think it may have been the one with Russell Howard). I thought maybe Rob meant that he doing an Off-Menu interview though. That would be another treat! Looking forward to this week's episode!!!

      Rob seemed genuinely worried that James wasn't just doing that for comedy and would actually try to join him and his wife at the restaurant for lunch.

    I spent six years trying to find my voice on stage. Saddest day of my life is when I realized that I didn't have the talent for comedy writing. Being funny in a conversation is massively different than being funny for an hour in front of an audience

      An hour is a long routine that is only for seasoned comedians. I would say 15 min or 20 is a good mark to measure your ability if you have six years practicing. I wouldn't be discouraged if I couldn't craft an hour. What James did was join all the 15 bits he has been writing during his career for the 4 shows on repertoire
