James Acaster

Why see James Acaster?

Hecklers Welcome 2024 

Irreverent and self-deprecating as they come, Britain's James Acaster has risen to the top of the comedy tree with his honest observational style, laying bare his life on stages, panel shows, podcasts, books, and more. Don't miss this tall drink of water when he brings his show, 'Heckler's Welcome' to venues across the country in 2024!

Following the well-trodden path of many a Brit comedian, James Acaster came to prominence after performing at the highly esteemed Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he was nominated for Best Show five times over. After that, it was only a hop skip and a jump to the mainstream. His talents have seen him appear on numerous comedy shows, record a Netflix special, and start his own hilarious podcast; Off Menu with fellow comedian Ed Gamble.

Perfection, Streamlined, Honest

This intimate theatre was perfect for this perfect comedian. His writing and presentation was flawless.. He reflects an honesty of our human species which quickly disarms the hearts of the audience. I felt like I’d just had a heart to heart with “Uncle James”, who’d humorously disclosed his personal feelings about growing up. It takes great skill to cleverly and clearly communicate private insights of one’s own journey through life, and most certainly courage. James Acaster does it all. He is an extremely talented storyteller for any age group. His ability to use such effective body language and his facial expressions are so entertaining, his anecdotes immediately engage his listeners. He needed absolutely nothing else but himself on stage except the simple black background. No distractions. Good decision. He was that good. Comfortable, intimate seating allowed the audience to fully enjoy his show. This classy comedian is a joy to see in person! Perfect evening! ... Read more

So Much Fun!

The show was fantastic, entertaining and so much fun! The narrator and the children did an amazing job. We did have the unpleasant experience of a very rude usher and I wish we had reported him before we left but the show itself was well worth going! ... Read more

LOVED IT!!

A wonderful show and great entertainment! The set was very well done and clever. The Old Man Character, Chris Swan, was absolutely hilarious! But hands down the children in the show are stunning, so talented and amazing, especially the boy who played Ralphie, Tommy Druhan, for our show! He gave such a performance and wonderful voice. Fun for the whole family! ... Read more
