The best and biggest performances from the 2014 Melbourne International Comedy Festival's late night club on ABC2's Comedy Up Late. #comedyuplate comedyfestival.com.au
I think the best part about James Acaster is the completely down-to-earth home stories he tells. Incredibly relatable stories and worth listening to everything that comes out the lads mouth!
that voice "Hold on mate, consider your options" sounded like his conscience has the same voice as Danny from Withnail and I, which is a fuckin cool voice in your head to have
I had to share a bed with a family friend and she did the same thing, I was so confused when the flipped the other way and a little offended too. But then I realized it's kind of awesome bc you don't worrying about turning over and cringing about how close their face is to yours lol.
I did it too when i was a teenager had to share the bed with a friend of mine. We did the thingy immediately hahaha the next morning he was pissed off that i kicked him in the face in the middle of the night (and farted twice). It was so stupid, i'd just sleep normally now days.
Omz i love him so much!! This was GOLD!! 😏😍😂 *Alright, let's consider our options.* Either you love James the straight way or you love him the gay way. There are no cons. 😘😂
His mannerisms and delivery must have changed mid 2014, as he's a lot more deadpan in this routine from late 2014, than he was early 2014 and 2013 -when he was smiling and grinning all over the show. I much prefer his style with the deadpan and side eye movements and head turns, to all the grinning! Interesting seeing how he's developed the stand up character.
Based on how much comedians hone their jokes, he probably tried the triple callback and decided it was too long and kind of confusing coz you sit up take off the shirt and then you have to lie back down and if you don't mention the lying back down then the rolling over imagery gets confusing coz how do you roll over while sitting up?
ozone263 I didn't even know what gay was when I was little and my friends and I would sleep like this lol Cut to: sleeping (head to head) next to my mate on holiday and hes snoring and snorting and rolling and flailing his arms. I swapped round for more space, you can shove someone's feet quite hard without waking them up. I dunno this was never a gay thing for me. Like the man says, all the bits are still aligned, if it's a gay thing, it makes no sense
I'll let you in on a secret: they're the same thing. Half or more of comedians' real life stories aren't real. e.g. "Little Bits", I've also heard he got his name from a child crossing the road.
I love James Acaster.. but my one comment is that he recycles A LOT f his jokes. I get what it’s like to be a comedian and it’s hard to constantly write new material, but I’ve seen 4 shows where he’s literally used the same 6 jokes in each show
It's called a set. Comedians can't have new jokes every time they go on stage, they write a set, with a few variations and they tour that for about a year and then they write a new set. Some repeat more than others but if you watch a comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe, then on Mock the Week, then Live at the Apollo, then it will be that set over and over again.
Oh, you're just pretending to not know what it is, James. I was going to wait a few months to finish that sentence because it's so important. Y'know the secret of good comedy is.............
Are you waiting to read the end of the sentence? Wait, James, wait. Then you get relief when the punchline is delivered. It's all down to the.................................................

"Can't have sex with something if it's the wrong way up" OMG this guy is genius :)
that voice "Hold on mate, consider your options" sounded like his conscience has the same voice as Danny from Withnail and I, which is a fuckin cool voice in your head to have
"Be seated. Find your neutral space."
That is an unfortunate political decision, reflecting these times

Yeah because who wouldn't rather have smelly feet in their face?

This looks like it's from the early 90s

I think both ways are possible.
I love him the bi way. No cons.
just the best!!!
Weak crowd jokes were fucking great
Lmao this story stopped at a very convenient time... hmmmmm
this audience didn't like James A but I think he's great
Huh, I always see comments like this... they were laughing :/

Nice

Looks like the back of Stewart Lee's head.
Genius!
Hilarious!
Is that Th3 Jez introducing James Acaster
I was just thinking that. They sound exactly the same lol
@@scoobs2864 mabye
@@yupfree9934 what the fuck
I remember that story from somewhere else ;)
Mock the Week anyone :p
tall comedian mock the weeķ
same guy on mock the week
It was Louis that was “little bits” a different time he told it lol
I dunno why everyone is saying the crowd was weak, they were laughing... a lot
This never happens to me :(
I'm glad no one ever did that to me. I'd have killed them for burglars and felt bad afterward onaccounta being in prison for it.
I'm so confused, did that guy call his mate Little Bits or did the kid crossing the road call him it? Contradiction.
he changed the story for it to fit into the theme of his special
He missed one there, should have ended the set with "sit up, take off your T shirt, and ROLL OVER" for the triple callback.

ITS SO THERES MORE SPACE AT SHOULDER LEVEL!!

We have found the MegaFag
Matthew Jackman post says a lot more about you than me mate 😉
His stories of real life experiences are better than his stand up

e.g. "Little Bits", I've also heard he got his name from a child crossing the road.
Did Nish Kumar introduce him?
Richard Jude Thompson Doesn't really sound like it to me, but this is a while ago.
its joel creasey this is australian
Maybe
I once had sex the wrong way up. Couldn't sit for a week.
Hahaha maybe hes gay hahah that was really funny

@@backtothebooks9201 same as a musician writing songs
What's with all the pregnant pauses? It's a story not religious testimony. Get on with it for Chrissakes!
That's due to an important factor in comedy being.....

His Jokes are getting repetitive
comedians re-use their own material, this is from 2014.
Comedians have the same routines when they tour.
It's like when bands play the same songs I suppose?
Peter, you have earned the idiot award
He could be a comic genius if he was funny.
I think you might be on your own with that.
@@howardchambers9679 You're probably right. I suppose, comedy being subjective, this comedian is just not for me. Seems really likeable though.
weak set, on tv too, needs to be A grade.
This was painful.
