    The thing about Acaster is, his work is hugely prolific- This special was 2 and a half HOURS in one shot, and his last special released was a four one-hour package called "Repertoire." He also writes for TV and has written two books. The guy is brilliant in live and improv situations and is one of the great talk, quiz, or panel show guests of all time. Personally, I'd put him over Will Farrel or John Mulaney or and JIm Carrey. Do yourself a favor and go down the rabbit hole. Just look up his James Acaster Classic Scrapes clips. There are hours of stories of his weird fucking life that he puts together like Spaulding Grey. He is a very good storyteller.

    • @kimaboe

    His bit about the trans community is absolutely on point. Yes, comedy is supposed to challenge people. It's supposed to challenge people who actually need challenging. The establishment, authority figures, people who think they're untouchable. "Challenging" a group of people who are challenged on a daily basis for simply existing is not comedy, it's just bullying.

      Whenever a person comes out as trans there is always an overwhelming amount of abuse from right wing commentators and people who get mad because they don’t understand them. Trans rights are consistently being either taken away or not given to in the first place, the trans ban from the military, the lack of unisex toilets, lack of medical care because they are trans etc. The hysteria when trans people are in the bathroom of their choice is always upsetting and overwhelming for the trans person. The lack of understanding by the general public on trans people and how gender is fluid so many will refuse to even accept them as their preferred gender. That doesn’t even go into just general discrimination when applying for jobs and every day life like verbal and physical abuse

The clearly not medical professional who knows more than every researcher and doctor in the world who unanimously agree that trans people exist, are not mentally ill, and should transition.

      How do you know what Chapelle said in his special if you dont watch it? It doesnt matter to me whether you agree or disagree with what he said but judging it without even knowing what it is seems foolish. Im assuming you heard or read about it through other sources, maybe even clips of the special all cut up and out of context. I think it would be wise to try and form your own opinions on stuff and not just subscribe to an idiology that tells you how to feel and respond in every situation

      I was actually a fan of Gervais since the beginning, and I still think this set is funnier, smarter and fresher than anything Ricky's done in ages, and it's 100% fair criticism. I honestly don't understand people who fly into a rage because someone points out that a comedian they like has gone a bit hacky & out of touch. It's like they're being forced to experience ego death if they acknowledge their favorite entertainers aren't perfect people.

      Also getting this mad at a comment saying they dislike Gervais' jokes is pretty weak if you ask me. You're the kind of person who insults people by saying "oh what a snowflake" when they call you out on bullying, but then reacts like this when someone even mildly disagrees with you.
      It is punching down if you make fun of a group that is constantly bullied. And honestly, most comedy is "punching" one way or another. comedy that's punching up is funny, punching down is cheap and reliant on bigotry.
