It’s always fun to watch a comedian with deep roots in “yes and” improv try to riff with a comedian with deep roots in deadpan absurdism and uncomfortable hostility.

[@westofley]

For that Vancouver part he did a Monday and Wednesday show. I was there for the second show on Wednesday, he did a mini Q&A and I believe he said "any one have any more heckles they didn't get out during the show?" and someone shouted, "You were better on Monday!"

[@sir_vix]

James should inform the person that their heckles were more emotionally devastating in Vancouver (or previous). That'll show them.

[@CGVan420]

@@sweetlows1 I was at that show as well. I had to ask my sister if she heard the Glasgow one or just the monday one, and her being smarter than me put 2 and 2 together and said that the heckler from this story must have been what he was talking about when he asked if he should tell us the reference or just let everyone think that person was an ass.

I was at the Glasgow show with the second heckle! It was meant to be a 2-hour show and overran by an hour, but he only got about 1 hour of his material done because the "heckles" (mostly just drunk people shouting weird stuff) absolutely derailed it. He just started enjoying how weird it had gotten so stayed on until the venue kicked him off. Weirdest comedy show of my life, but I was crying with laughter.

[@mrquirky3626]

I'm angry now I missed him in Vancouver. I thankfully got to see both Jimmy Carr and Dara O'Briain when they toured western Canada last year but even then I had to just stumble on to their tour information in time to get tickets. UK comedians don't get enough media attention here in Canada when they're touring.

[@AlphaShrike]

@@mrquirky3626 After the intermission -- that's right, he did an hour, had a break, then another hour! -- he started telling a story about his childhood dog. Due to the length of the banter with the heckler (plus another guy), he never finished his story! (He made the decision to not finish it and told us he wasn't going to finish it.) Normally, I'd probably be a little disappointed in this. However, since I've seen a lot of comedians on their tours, I'm always a little disappointed when their Special is released because I've seen it all. But, in this case, I can look forward to hearing that whole story! :D It'll all be new to me. :)

[@Jesse12521]

Was also at the show, I guessed at the end the hecklers welcome show was intended to get derailed by crowd work. The show was definitely better for it happening. That guy was a ski instructor in Whis, we learned about his casual dating life and everything lol

Seth meyers is the best for having james on!!! I knew he would!!! James was amazing here my fav comic ever!!!!

[@gratefuljackal8183]

James complaining about a persistent heckler and Seth dealing with jackals every week 🤣🐾🐾💙

[@EatinPaste]

Love James! And love that he's back!

[@majohanimo]

This was one of the funniest interviews I have seen in a long time. Hope the new show means a new special is coming out soon as well.

[@emdiar6588]

James Acaster is so good that even Stewart Lee admires him. When you can appeal to high brow comedy nerds, angsty college chicks and lads on a night out, all with the same material, you have one hell of a career in front of you.

[@Amzzyyo]

I love how the audience went from being almost suspicious of James, to laughing at every joke he makes 😂

[@SarahJay55]

James Acaster is quite possibly my favourite stand up of recent years.... makes me cry laughing!

[@-c3202]

I love James acaster so much. If I could fly to each of his shows and heckle him, too

[@bakedbean3313]

Absolutely love James! ❤ Congratulations on getting a note worthy guest!

[@NotoriousWhistler]

I really desperately hope that James and Dan Aykroyd spoke about Dan's Off Menu episode on the set of Ghostbusters.

[@veemacks7255]

Totally smashed it James.

[@IndelibleAndy]

The awkward chemistry and not-ready-for-TV long pauses are glorious.

[@PaulaJaey]

I’ve been needing more James Acaster content, thank you 😂🤍

[@lovetrioni]

What a ridiculously funny segment 😂😂😂

[@mick776gold]

I have seen Jimmy Carr invite hecklers to speak for a part of his show. So another comedian has done it. But boy are those comedians ready to blast a heckler hard for it.

[@ellie-tk4jy]

Jimmy can't have been the first. Pretty sure Stewart Lee did something with a heckler. Did James even say he was the first, though?

[@mick776gold]

@@ellie-tk4jy No James didn't, seth did at 3:20.

[@ottercai]

James you are the best! Love watching you and say play off each other. *chef’s kiss 😅

[@WhirledPeasFursure]

Gawd, I love James,, love his humor and wit... thank you...

[@lbeg323]

ACASTER ON SETH MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

[@AnaInTh3Sky]

I loved him on WILTy and GBBO... but I almost died laughing watching his comedy special. His bit about Brexit killed me 😂

[@juliest6015]

You need to check out his series on Taskmaster, then the rest of Taskmaster.

[@23ncn-rs8fs]

Love seeing this guy! Have him on again!!! So sad I can't make it to one of his shows.

[@ednicolle2456]

I love everytime Seth has James on, already cant wait for next time!
