James Acaster at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- He’s been described as ‘a beige corduroy patchwork of eccentric inflections and odd obsessions that manages to be both supremely anorakish and strangely swaggering.’ Thanks to this singular style, James Acaster has become one of Britain’s funniest and most revered stand-up comedians, with five nominations for the Edinburgh Comedy Award to his name. In this event filmed live at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival, he discusses his hotly-anticipated memoir, Perfect Sound Whatever - a love letter to the healing power of music, and how one man's obsessive quest saw him defeat the bullshit of one year with the beauty of another. Acaster is joined on stage by writer, performer and ‘stand-up poet’ Rob Auton.
“There is a lot of relationships we get into in life where we are not told how it is meant to work.” Very true
Any of them?
To be honest, it takes a special kind of awful to go to an event with James Acaster, in which he clearly states he's taking more breaks and practicing saying; 'No.' and then try and whine on about his podcast.
James even bravely mentiones how the therapist he trusted, betrayed his trust, how can you ignore all of that and demand him to come over on your podcast?
(Just incase James reads this, bytheway, therapists can (and should!) be nice and kind and understanding and not force you to reveal more than you want or go faster than your own pace. So if you ever feel like visiting (a good) one again, please do, they can help people a lot.)
I'm just happy to see that, despite the fact it probably took a lot of energy and caused a lot of stress, James managed to stay polite and tell the guy off. He should do that more often. He's already spoiling everyone with so many video's and visits to shows. Good luck James, please keep standing up for yourself.
Heartbreaking part of the book that is, felt like a proper betrayal
His response to the podcast guy was so professional, but not stiff at all. Just honest and kind, really. Why would you go on and ask someone like that if his agent has already politely declined??
Yes, he was honest to the dude, that's generous so it doesn't even feel like rejection, it's a lovely answer and insight into James's personal journey, a gift.
The guy did that to peer pressure james (someone who on the outside looks like he would be weak to that kind of thing) total dick head, i guess thats why
Podcast guy came across like a total narcissist. I was quite surprised when he didn't try to self-promote while he still had the mic.
James Acaster is a very smart guy. I was glad to hear him talk seriously. Wish I had picked therapists more carefully. The last one was really bad for me. Great advice about time off, work ethic, and going to performances where you share things with others in the audience!
Hope you found a better therapist, mate. It's all about finding someone who clicks with you and you feel listens and understands what you say.
Kinda obvious to say, perhaps, but I know how that feels.
Amazing to hear such authenticity and openness about real life mixed with just funny stuff. Thank you for taking the steps to care for yourself, James Acaster! Those of us who love your work are more than happy to wait a bit for more stuff if it means you’re happy and healthy! 🐇🥰🐇
Thanks for saying this. Totally agree
Agree! 🙃
Great that the festival organiser mispronounces James's last name. Classy.
Oh shut up. Who cares?
@@loveandsqualor6034
It's unprofessional, laf and skweelur.
@@loveandsqualor6034 I care. And my opinion is worth more than yours.
@@DontStealMyFish Why is your opinion worth more than there’s
@@hellopeoplez8636 that's just life, mate.
dude has such a strange and marvelous mind
I agree!
I have SO much envy for his MEMORY.
acaster realizes how much time is put into making someone a playlist--
I am so happy he put that guy in his place lol! Amazing! Loved this, wish there was a little more chemistry between James Acaster and Rob Auton though. James Acaster is such a classy guy!
I genuinely adore this man ❤️ intelligent, hilarious and just a genuinely good soul. His smile is everything ❤️
😍
Truly lovely smile
The guy getting shut down for the podcast invite. You love to see it
52:45 for the podcast question
Thank you! Seen a lot of comments about it but couldn’t find it lol
What a beautiful mind has he! I discovered him from 8 out of ten and as a almost 75 year old Alaskan; I must say he is my own "masters voice...
Music mixes are my love language. Now I know why I love James so much.
I love his jumper
He always wears the best clothes 🥰😍
He's always got great footwear on
Was in front row, was a privilege.
Me too!
At 40:55 which one are you?
it's so weird tho that even if i'm not part of the physical show, it feels like i'm part of the crowd listening to James. He does a good job with including and interacting with the audience
To put him on the spot like that after James' agent had turned down the request was unnecessary and rude. If podcast fool was compelled to ask, at least wait until afterwards.
Hundreds of years ago there was this very eccentric British Lord who had a zebra-pulled carriage and a pet bear and in - presumably a very prolonged moment of madness - he dug a series of tunnels under Birmingham (UK)
...all I'm saying is thank goodness James found music!
I think I have only seen James Acaster while "preforming", or... playing whatever character he is. Hearing him talking like a normal person is interesting. (In a good way)
Many talented comedians ...and Nish Kumar!
Boy that's a burny zing there!!!!!!
Ah, bless him. He’s a sweet boy.
I love it when people throw their hands around because they don’t care 🥰🥰🥰
I was there, and asked the first question. Sorry about it though, in my defence, I was going through a confused out of depth phase. James probably understood
Yeah,James and me understood 😅
You did confused the hell outta some people in the audience tho 😂
I thought it was a really good question mate. James didn't quite get to his answer in finding something deeper, which I would have like to hear about too. So I appreciate you asking it.
Yeh James is all about keepin it real about how ya feel, a shining invitation to be yourself whatever it is
I’m sure he got what you were getting at man ^.^
James dropping Sikth at a pub in Kettering. The force is fucking strong with this one 💜
Wished the mod was better 😕 To cut off James from finishing his story about his therapist was kind of rude imo. Wanted to know how his story ended...
Sorry, but what does “imo” mean?
@@ditkind1340 "In My Opinion"
James Acaster could make this chick into chicks turn! I'm a mixed tape chick and I know that exact look you get when you hand over those many hours of work getting that message in almost 80 minutes of music just right for the person. And I got frustrated when a particular friend of mine took my opus, complete with instructions to listen to it for the first time, lights out, with a beer, completely through from start to finish, and then just loaded it on his computer and played it randomly with all his other music. Message killed mate. I got more out of it than he did. Thank God I made a copy for me too. My most shared compilation: Songs for the frustrated: When you want to tell the world to just f**k off. I'm a mixed tape making addict. You know you are when you ignore band 'best ofs ' and make your own...
A mixed tape is like a fart - you think yours is alright, but everyone else thinks it stinks. To expect someone to sit through 80 minutes of someone else's music (in the dark with a beer) is asking way too much of them. I agree mixed tapes are cute but they should contain like 10 songs at most and shouldn't come with a set of instructions.
Love James Acaster! He's incredibly funny
Best way to read a book , front to back
I would love to hear the two tapes of lushness mixtapes!
EDIT: NEVERMIND.
This interview pushed me to do stand-up
3 years later, how is that going?
The interviewer is super awkward but it's quite endearing. I saw James earlier this year and I wish I'd bought his book now.
thank you for posting!
I came to see this just for 37:00 The person who asked the question is great person.
Hermione HAIR-ME-OWN haha
Deep frying my mix tapes! I would have died. I left a bunch from my best friend in the auditorium mezzanine in high school where I was hiding out by myself during a free period, but had taken a wander and didn't make it back to my stuff before I had to go to my next class. I didn't remember until the next day. Never saw them again. Gutted.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that's the first time SikTh have been mentioned at any book festival.
James is definitely not someone I expected to know Sikth and I love him even more to find out he does
Literally blew my mind haha
He is exactly the right age to know who they are and he was in a band, so, makes sense to me
Was in the back row. Wish I was a bit closer to front
Was in my pants watching this at home. Wish I was in the same country at least.
was at home, got all of the Acaster with none of the wait/discomfort/financial expense - just great mate
The shoes
He's always got those Avengers trainers on. Every gig!
As a counter argument: The socks
Theyre pretty cool i think
Loved the shoes! 😂
Danny Berentson hahaha
Anything Acaster gets a "like"
Yea, he is a brilliant guy and comedian! Unique.
I agree!
This year is gone to shit and james acaster is only thing that i go to to cope, lol
💚 fried lushness
The only time i ever DJ'd (playing stuff i liked not the crowd) and only song i rem playing was pussyfoot by Sikth. So funny to hear that.
“Listening to the bends over & over again” 👁👄👁
I can only imagine what Bland Street Boom would do to the men and women inside a pub in Kettering
2020 So connected, So alone.
GUAPO!!!!!
You read books in Scotland?
Yeah just because somebody calls them self a therapist, doesn't mean to say that they are majorly qualified or suitable. It's best to look around and see to try to find out what the professional psychologist is all about, and work out if you can relate to each other, if you think the same - and if you like them and can maintain a good rapport, then they are perfect for you. Karen Evangelista doctor of Psychology.
Don't know what's up with the interviewer. Be prepared dude.
He's also a comedian and that's very much his style of delivery. It's a bit.
that therapist corned him and abused his personal trauma to manipulate him, I hope when his ready takes her to the law cause that woman should have her license revoked immediately.
Ketring sounds cool...I want to visit
I think Gary Delaney is in the audience!
Did he just say James (ahh caster)?
Pilly 92
Yea I heard that too. Kind a dissapointing.
Loving the shoes m8
I wasn't there. I feel ambivalent
I like the Frank Stella shirt.
37:00
Love your shit. But I'm down with you James I've dj'd in bournemouth for year n half on vinyl and cd s it's all about what you like. Keep on your style. Eventually the flow follows. . BOSS
Does anyone know who the podcast guy is?
A prick is who he is
It won't help harassing his podcast or channel, it'll only give him more views.
But I understand the urge. :)
At 23:23 James mentions Okilly Dokilly and the album Howdilly Doodilly. This is a link to "White Wine Spritzer" by that band from that album (the opening of with which, this video closes).

I have never seen him dress like that
i want to know which sikth track it was....
35:26
Bro, i had a very similar experience....
geez the story about the therapist is *scary*. unethical is not even enough to describe that behavior.
Was in the middle row, was ok
is this video available anywhere to download in a podcast format?
caitlin2019 youtube to mp3
AweInSound 👍🏻
He just said he's not going on the podcast mate
Chant anand
lmao Sikth is the randomest band he could have chosen for a DJ gig, why did he think that was a good idea
18:45 hahaha
Sixth 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😆
A book festival where the mc cannot even read the authors name
Thought many of the audience who asked questions sounded entitled and like pricks.
Thought James put up with it pretty well
I don't think James is a redhead... pretty sure he's blonde.
Strawberry blonde!
What a waste of a great opportunity. Rob Auton absolutely ruined this.
Can’t stand him
Well, then *sit* with him instead.
Leave Rob alone.
Sixth 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😆
