Summary

This week, host Jesse David Fox sits down with English comedian James Acaster. James has a record breaking number of consecutive nominations for Best Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a four hour stand up mini series named Repertoire, and in 2019 completed an insanely long tour for his most recent and hugely successful show, Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999. He and Jesse dissect a ~20 minute story from this newest special regarding James's infamous stint on the Great British Bake Off. You can't follow James on social media (he's not on any), but you can watch Repertoire on Netflix and Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 on his website, JamesAcaster.com. You can listen to his podcasts, Perfect Sounds and Off Menu, wherever you listen to podcasts. Follow Jesse David Fox on Twitter and Instagram. Learn more about your ad choices.
