James Acaster - Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival Gala 2022

[@1nToTh3V0id]

Best stand up closer ever.

[@yeldaraf9399]

The CC subtitles at the start lmao “applause (foreign)”

[@PatrickByrne-e5v]

fkin colonies

[@nathanwebster5705]

I was watching 3 body problem the other day with subtitles and at one point it said [exhales in English] lmao

[@sweetporcupine56]

saw hecklers welcome last week and it’s amazing how james has tightened up this material over the past year and made it even better just through small tweaks. can’t wait to see the ‘final form’ when he tapes the show!

[@elliottmcpeek7443]

aw man so jealous, can't wait for a taped version

[@kitroche8909]

has he confirmed he's taping it, i missed the tour and desperate to see it!!!

[@eoin7664]

Did it definitely get taped? Saw the show in belfast and it pains me how much it's been gradually spilling out of my memory

[@carlotta2528]

​@@eoin7664 I was in dublin for the last show of the tour and it was filmed!

[@captainalieth]

@@eoin7664 yeah I think you can see it on his website for £8

[@bowwowbuddy]

I've watched all 4 "episodes" of his Netflix stand-up special at least a dozen times, and who knows how many times I've watched his season of Taskmaster and his WILTY clips. The man's a genius (and so is the boy)!

[@speakatron5634]

You should watch Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999!

[@seanfrank32]

May I ask if you are British?

[@justusbraz]

@@speakatron5634saw him work in some of the material live in San Francisco. It was awesome.

[@madnessbydesignVria]

I always click on a James Acaster video - and he never disappoints. I liked his material early on, but he's gotten so much better over the years (which is saying something)... :)

[@lkripppler]

Everything someone says is saying something

[@therealadey8]

That ending is why I love Acaster

[@daediaz186]

He's not only funny, he knows how to use his voice, he's very charismatic and has great stage presence. The full package to be a comedian. Hope he gets better emotionally and keeps at this because it's a delight to watch him.

[@MsSecretPoet]

I read the first bit as he’s not very funny but he knows… I was about to draw swords and shout my postcode at you! WITNESS PROTECTION BABYYYYY!

[@CommonTater100]

dude was super jetlagged in this clip. he was barely holding it together

[@doyourownresearch7297]

@@MsSecretPoet he isnt funny at all.

[@dyodoleu]

​@@doyourownresearch7297what's the matter? Too challenging for ya?

[@ThisIsGoogle]

Full package is singing, dancing, joking and playing an instrument. Stop misusing the word

[@Melapoo]

How exciting! This is a bit of his stand up that I haven't seen before.

[@jamesrice9482]

He uses this material in Hecklers Welcome and it's beautifully incorporated into the overall theme; an excellent artwork.

[@pauloliver2598]

The mother story is true. I was there when it happened at the comedy store in Leister Square

[@miachevais4154]

He is indescribably brilliant 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@Elecjester]

We love James =) I wish he comes back & see's us more often =)

[@dreads9536]

I could be wrong but I think the audience were a bit quiet at the start because so few of them knew what a spinning wheel was. There was quite a big laugh at 1:45 when he mentioned "Spinning wool" and the penny dropped for a lot of the audience.

[@dreday3303]

You are probably right as I was thinking, what type of spinning wheel is he talking about. But this comedian sometimes likes the awkwardness.

[@KnotsEdge]

Yeah, I immediately Googled it. It's like when he talked about lollipop men

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I wasn't sure what he said first couple of times - combo of him saying it fast and no on talking about spinning wheels these days. Maybe a good portion of the audience was French Canadian and it's a phrase that doesn't come up often so you might be right for some. Loved the story.

[@timisme333]

James is in my top 5 comics, but this is the top 1 finish.

[@benjaminsparboe9157]

His special Cold Lasagna Hate Myself is Amazing

[@aldobonaso3481]

worst thing he's ever done. Love James, one of my favourite comedians, but that "special" was awful.

[@drgonzorevival]

My favorite comedy special of all time.

[@NatrixHasYou]

​@@aldobonaso3481I'm sorry to hear about your debilitating dislike of great things.

[@crivatzuldevara]

@@aldobonaso3481ok crizzo

[@Lasttango85]

I myself think repertoire is better, but that is not a jab at cold lasagna, repertoire is just genius level to me.

[@DanonHill]

legend.

[@crystalaustralia]

Marriage material

[@averyr7752]

Love this guy 😂🇨🇦🍻😂

[@JehanineMelmoth]

Bless him. He’s a sweet boy.

[@dyodoleu]

My favourite part about any comment section involving this dude, is the hecklers coping in the comments cause he is too challenging for them 😂

[@duckdudette]

That's his job. What, too CHALLENGING for ya? 😂

[@edwardsimpson119]

He's meant to challenge people. If you don't like to be challenged you shouldn't come to his show.😂

[@psychicbyinternet]

Bad luck!

[@connorplaut364]

Love this dude

[@penguinista]

Boy's like Godzilla. Just crushing.

[@calacestar]

There's just... something special about him

[@hope_and_love]

This explains my first piano competition in detail. In that case, someone else played the same piece but waaaay better. I'll never forget that.

[@fragglet]

As a kid you'd never have got me anywhere near a spinning wheel. I knew what happened to Sleeping Beauty

[@joshuamauk6759]

James Acaster is brilliant and operates on a million different levels at all times. His brain is my brain too. Whenever we go out, the people always shout, “I don’t understand this, what is this, is this supposed to be comedy? Jingle. Heimer. Schmidt. la la La La La la La la.”

[@klondike69none85]

love james lol so funny

[@daniellepearsall4978]

I love James Acaster

[@COL321]

That was great

[@Yerdadada]

What an absolutely rogue way to end a set

[@dielaughing73]

If ya got it, flaunt it!

[@CT2507]

Wow... that went psychological real fast! :))

[@siyabongantombela1762]

James is SUCH a skilled comedian! HONESTLY

[@patricklynch9048]

THE BOY!

[@jknowstheway1462]

Please from now on If you ever see James live please scream out "Does your mom know youre out this late". And bring a cabbage.

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

you could tell the banana story on 78 rpm speed...

[@dariogutierrez6716]

Very funny

[@rachelcookie321]

When I was in primary 1 and 2 my mum was a substitute teacher and science teacher at my school so she sometimes would teach my class. I used to always take advantage of the fact she was my mum and I would get so upset whenever she didn’t show me special treatment. I was the perfect student normally but when my mum was teaching I was constantly acting out and annoying her because I knew in that moment I had immunity. I must have been a nightmare to teach.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Yes I can hear you Clem Fandango.

[@tu-anhton3561]

I cried, laughing

[@enigmaficate]

Yall dont realize how HUGE thiw man is in the UK

[@adelatief6941]

Is he? Good for him. I'm not from the UK and none of my friends know him which is soo frustrating. Plus there is no straightforward way to introduce James to them because of language barrier.

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

#1:44 Who Knew It Was James Acaster's First ?

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

In Wool Relentlessly

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Duh

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

Last Republic Bank, Montreal

[@MsSecretPoet]

I thought his first was as the Woodcutter.

[@bennewton]

Haha!

[@dmontes133]

🤣🤣🤣

[@thiccrat]

im in love with this man (not really i lied)

[@SugarSnapDragon]

I like the way this is kind of extended from the Heckler's Welcome bit. He should have kept the "that doesn't get laugh here ..spinning wheels castles...., but it's weird in the UK too" bit in the US hecklers tour, and he should have left in the stuff that makes me him look like he's being a dick to children in the Roald Dahl bit, inspite of the US theoretically not liking meanness as much, cuz yeah it makes him look like more of a dick, but it also was therefore funnier. And it's the rest of the show already wins us back pretty easily.

[@MattieBennett]

Too challenging for me

[@thiccrat]

this is so strange... drew monson jokes about having a 21 year old adopted british son on his second channel... does entire bits about it.. i have to show him this routine!

[@bensmith9984]

Bloody hell, this was sad.

[@randosavich]

You got to commend the guy, made a living as a comedian without telling a single joke…

[@Stewniverse]

Comedian: noun an entertainer on stage or television whose act is designed to make an audience laugh. Jokes not required, the audience laughed. Job done, no?

[@snadlg]

IMHO the best comedians are storytellers. He’s a master.

[@frankwagner3659]

You know, it's weird, when things people think are funny in one place aren't funny at all in another. This guy should stay home.

[@Druguaer12345]

That wasnt actually funny. Do people laugh because he has a speach impediment? 🐑 🐑 🐑

[@stephenfoster2945]

He's rubbish.

[@TheRakesh1000]

Normally very funny but I didn't find anything in this even slightly funny.

[@justinsmith4562]

That was really poor.

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

Did people have to pay for this?

[@tiennakarn4049]

The thing about james acasters spiel....is it is reliant on him being youthful, or yoof oriented, including his voice characterisation. He is getting old and its a problem...imagine him trying this act aged 45yrs old...it wont work, as say with jo brands act she can still pull it off aged 50yrs+

[@michaelkennedy3372]

Hes an adequate comedian. Anything else is hyperbole.

[@philwhitfeld6339]

Each to their own I guess but he's never made me laugh.

[@ciaranblake3398]

Unfunny.

[@thiccrat]

come see his new tour, hes looking for people like you. called Hecklers Welcome.

[@jennhaych]

You vs the 800 likes that disagree with you

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

​@@jennhaychagainst how many dislikes, oh can't see we've been censored

[@DonoVideoProductions]

​@@Phantom-mk4kpNot censored enough, though. You're still here.

That’s who you get when you cancelled all the good comedy …..

[@NatrixHasYou]

A better comic? Sign me up for more!

[@michaelosborn3134]

I'm still waiting for a laugh, the most boring clip l've ever seen. The audience only laughed because they had paid.

[@AngelicusImmortus]

You just don’t get the humour.

[@comfortablesofa]

So fucking meta
