James Acaster performing material from his new show "Hecklers Welcome" at the Montreal Comedy Gala in 2022.

[@yeldaraf9399]

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

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

[@TheFartofGod]

I fucking love the fact that he just leveled with the crowd😂

[@P0D1894]

Best stand up closer ever.

[@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?

[@madnessbydesign1415]

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

[@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!

[@zaphenath6756]

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

[@therealadey8]

That ending is why I love Acaster

[@Melapoo]

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

[@daniellepearsall4978]

I love James Acaster

[@DanonHill]

legend.

[@crystalaustralia]

Marriage material

[@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.

[@jamesrice9482]

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

[@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!

[@timisme333]

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

[@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.

[@JehanineMelmoth]

Bless him. He’s a sweet boy.

[@fragglet]

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

[@penguinista]

Boy's like Godzilla. Just crushing.

[@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.

[@connorplaut364]

Love this dude

[@calacestar]

There's just... something special about him

[@Elecjester]

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

[@Yerdadada]

What an absolutely rogue way to end a set

[@dielaughing73]

If ya got it, flaunt it!

[@klondike69none85]

love james lol so funny

[@COL321]

That was great

[@siyabongantombela1762]

James is SUCH a skilled comedian! HONESTLY

[@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.”

[@CT2507]

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

[@dariogutierrez6716]

Very funny

[@tu-anhton3561]

I cried, laughing

[@bennewton]

Haha!

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

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

[@dmontes133]

🤣🤣🤣

[@DodderingOldMan]

Yes I can hear you Clem Fandango.

[@12feetup]

Shut up, I'm talking to the grown up!

[@enigmaficate]

Yall dont realize how HUGE thiw man is in the UK

[@thiccrat]

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

[@izabellapinker9705]

HE’S JUST A BOY!!!!!???!!!!! Hhahahahahahah

[@MattieBennett]

Too challenging for me

[@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.

[@bensmith9984]

Bloody hell, this was sad.

[@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!

[@justinsmith4562]

That was really poor.

[@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.

[@TheRakesh1000]

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

[@Druguaer12345]

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

[@michaelkennedy3372]

Hes an adequate comedian. Anything else is hyperbole.

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

Did people have to pay for this?

[@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.

[@philwhitfeld6339]

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

[@dopy8418]

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.

[@MrBarrynicholas]

Awful.

[@TheFartofGod]

Imagine if his "breakdown" on Great British Bake Off was like the "HE'S JUST A BOY!" breakdown😂

[@comfortablesofa]

So fucking meta

[@doyourownresearch7297]

Pretty shit.

[@LucasClearly]
