    If you think James Acaster is funny you should meet Lloyd, the vocalist of a band called Pindrop

      ​@SCHTRAM by all counts the "being a dick" is just a persona. The rumor is, behind the scenes, he's actually really nice and thoughtful. Though by his own admission, in his "Classic Scrapes" book, he has done a lot of things without thinking first. He also admits he takes heckling too personally and has not always reacted very well to it in the past. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    James got robbed on the hula-ing tho- Phil went from 57 to 1.5 seconds. James went from 6 to 5… You don’t have to be Rachel Riley to figure out that James should’ve come away with more than 2 points… But such is the way of The Taskmaster. Maybe it was punishment for calling him a c**t.

    I'm 5 minutes in and he hasn't said anything even remotely funny yet.
    He most certainly is an eigma though, as in, it's very difficult to figure out how someone becomes a comedian if they're dull and unamusing 🤔
    It's almost as if the current crop of British comedians have accepted the challenge of pushing someone as a comedian who clearly isn't funny.
    'If we all just keep saying he's funny then _some_ people will believe it' 🤷‍♂

    Objectively not funny. The Pindrop story was awful but for some reason everyone pretended he was funny for the entire dull repetitive story - Jimmy Carr couldn't be bothered fortunately. Then there's his politics...
