James Acaster

Overview

No one does awkward British humour quite like James Acaster. This lanky and bizarre laugh-machine is a comic genius, delivering his surreal observational comedy in a posh English accent with precision. His unique sense of humour has helped him to gain five nominations at the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards, as well as sell-out shows around the world. He even won the Best International Act at the 2013 New Zealand International Comedy Festival.

Bypassing the festival bill this year, Acaster will play nine dates over six days with a trilogy of shows, Recognise (2014), Represent (2015) and Reset (2016). Individually, each show has won rave reviews from critics and audiences around the world, and promise a standup experience unlike any other. The bar will be open, and the laughs will be plentiful, so grab a ticket and get into the spirit of the Comedy Festival with the most hilarious Englishman behind a microphone.
