“Did you enjoy it?” *cuts to next scene*

[@Demann5]

the sound woman is hilarious

[@gavinbuck8130]

I bet her arms and shoulders must be in bits at the end of the day.

[@Vatierville]

The whole of Kettering just looks like Chernobyl now 😭😂

[@sebastianbates]

No not really I live there

[@jackiez8946]

i think it’s the lighting lol

[@sebastianbates]

@@jackiez8946 yeah just a grey day

[@evesinclair06]

@@sebastianbates same you’ve got to admit it’s shitsville here still though

[@sebastianbates]

@@evesinclair06 when I wrote that comment it was fine but now it is shitsville

[@irishelk3]

He should just travel around and visit random, not so well known sites all the time -- make a whole show of it.

[@motherlove8366]

That's just Tom Scott

[@nancyryan4574]

Don't worry we still call it Rock'n'bowl

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

Phew

[@annother3350]

With a wimpy attached to it - oh yeah!

[@Annikat2006]

It will always be rock and bowl. However wimpy has been replaced!

[@annother3350]

There is one wimpy surviving near me. The last bastion of the Lime milkshake

[@haunter4708]

Very similar to a snooker hall where I live. It was initially the club of Ronnie O'Sullivan who named it Rocket Ronnie's. He since sold it and it changed names but we still call it Rocket Ronnie's. Fuck the police.

[@alexchapman3906]

“I remember you.” So creepy.

[@TheDrakirikard]

In fairness, he is creepy.

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

that smile. XD

[@ianrubimbura1910]

How is it possible to feel nostalgic for a place I've never been 😂

[@evesinclair06]

I don’t recommend it here apart from wicksteed it’s really not that incredible 😂

[@dididogster9994]

I think this perfectly describes the awkward chaos that is James Acaster

[@192ironbru]

i think i perfectly describes kettering

[@Cal.Crimson]

After he kept mentioning it, I decided to look it up and I wasn't surprised to see that ducks definitely don't mate for life

[@josefinenemecek1525]

Well they do, but don't kill eachother they hurt the female if they are more males and one female they tend to be so persistent they usually drown the female

[@jopdispa1134]

This whole video feels like one of his scrapes

[@reallysmallfrisby]

It's nice that Jo Williams gave her time to this guy for this :)

[@mintomax2]

Next week on episode 3 of James Acaster visits places that are closed James visits the Kettering branch of Thomas Cook.

[@FatLeonard84]

Closed down football ground, Wicksteed park closed most the time, what happened to Kettering?

[@someangel-shape6797]

austerity babey

[@pvpherthen2981]

Did anyone see the kids giving the middle finger in the window at 0:08 lmao

[@peridotqueen26]

For a second I thought James was going to jump the fence to the roller coaster, but then I remembered the boom mike 😆

[@musicsonlychild]

Wicksteed Park, how nostalgic! I'm dying to know if the bit with Mick was scripted or real.. killed me.

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

Haha! Not scripted, Mick is superb

[@timdavis9566]

I was thinking it was scripted, James' sense of humor dictates that it was,hes fricken hilarious. 😏😂😋🌈

[@millwall0178]

Genuinely watching james acaster in a tent at wicksteed last week

[@ev9099]

Tim Davis it’s not scripted lol

[@mezalong]

@@ev9099 yes it is.

[@MrPezza]

Mick Bush is still there?? Legend. Used to work in stores myself, driving around in the old vans. Never saw Simmo wearing the Wickie bear costume though, he'd given that up well before then. Yeah, Kettering's not bad, but I tell people I'm from Northampton. :s

[@galenstapley4950]

Bare K town nostalgia hahaha. Moved out of town a few years back. This is taking me back!

[@domjl17]

My sister was Wicky Bear for a year or so. She's now an accountant.

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

She's a hero

[@DormerStone]

A bit like a young David Brent

[@marthatitus5341]

What is James’ obsession with ducks

[@joshuadixon4932]

42 seconds in and you see the flat I grew up in on the left. Wild memories.

[@reecedesmonde1]

This episode is gold

[@hydroxynitrile4509]

this has the same energy as bbc series 'this country', we need a collab #comeonbbc

[@benhoodmusic2283]

Every video in this series is brilliant!!! Great work! 😂😂

[@megaflux7144]

this perfectly illustrates the phrase "you can never go home".

[@DrsofiaE3]

Outside Kettering? No, taking a packed lunch

[@Joe-tt1le]

50000 People used to live here... Now it's a ghost town.

[@slayerkhan]

My childhood was spent in a Northern California biker oasis called Lagunitas. Our local market used to sell trucker caps with "where the fuck is Lagunitas?" written across the fronts, lol. Same vibe as Kettering ;)

[@gromcom]

I thought at the start 'Is that Jo Williams?'. Can't believe that it actually is!

[@jackovhemling1831]

I have been to that bowling alley sooooooo many good memories

[@drjay4915]

sounds loke a local town for local peeple

[@lifeadmin9417]

Home of Weetabix, theme parks and...myself I don't know why but this always makes me laugh

[@MeG-yt2nv]

Kettering Town fc &a &a &a...&a

[@crawfishpi]

This series is so awkward. It's absolutely brilliant.

[@rourkeyliiid4769]

As if you've still got a Wimpy's man!

[@annother3350]

There's a wimpy near my house. Still doing the lime milkshakes!

[@Samwwrl]

It’s been renamed to fat franks now 💔

[@tendertender6695]

Sadly there are no birds there now due to the "murders" Why have you not featured Cortardo's where you honed your comedy skills with the other patrons ? I think that you should do an episode on the disproportional number of coffee shops in the town , what is that about?

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

James A-Caster Sugar And Coffee?

[@themarvellousmrsmorticia]

Northamptonshire, the place where social awkward is born.

[@ursulageorgeson7086]

My favourite part of this rain-a-thon is the royalty-free indie rock soundtrack. and all the bits with James Acaster looking confused or bored.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

My fave is all the boom miking for no reason

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

Thank you!

[@SueKelly-w1c]

We used to own the Rock n Bowl so pleased you liked the original name - New York Thunderbowl def doesn’t have the same ring!!!! 😂😂😂

[@jspesh]

Right in the childhood

[@tee_jay1802]

Im from Kettering aswell and james acaster is the only good thing to come out of it

[@MakhalanyaneMotaung]

Man had his eighth birthday at that wimpy's yanoe

[@MrShammm]

Wicksteed Parks rides don't operate in the winter

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

This was a sad realisation for James

[@bluesubmariner1]

It's no Corby!

[@newvoid5827]

I can't believe how similar Adrian Bliss' character is to James' persona

[@bobtheshorkie1987]

Only theme park geeks refer to the rollercoaster by their manufacturer.

[@SunnyGlade]

I swear that bear is wearing an upside down Mario outfit

[@jaxsjpg3225]

I don’t know why I’m watching this now but hey 😂

[@Demann5]

this show is amazing

[@thanks8589]

0:58 but did the log flue have a hype man?

[@hellopeoplez8636]

Sadly not,The hype man was too busy doing Jury duty

[@waywardrivulet1502]

all aboard!

[@kdizretro]

Giggles

[@drjay4915]

S an a H an a I and a T end it off with a nice big E sums up kettering totaly

[@StellaKnights]

Wickstead is great both my kids loved it

[@dirtydirtmcgogurt]

I think I've been to 6 or 7 "Rock n' Bowl"s in my life, not one of them was related to any of the others. All independent establishments. I'm not sure when the phrase "Rock N' Bowl" become part of the public domain, but it's, undoubtedly, a pun that I can get behind and I support it's further exploitation by the bowling czars.

[@biokevlar1]

Should go to the Russell Street Cinema. loads of laughs

[@nickwood7223]

I lived in Kettering from 1978 to 1986 . I went to school at Isebrook school . The school is across the road . Good memories. Now living denver Co

[@AnikaGOldiE]

Love You James 🙏🏽🥰

[@koookeee]

Kettering: no puns intended, best leave before 14:22.

[@edshotsdotcodotuk]

WASSUP!!!!

[@ellashmar7378]

the helicopter ride they showed just got taken down

[@gooders8855]

2 million improvements, and now in trouble.

[@FrenchBassoonKiss]

Give us another one.

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

Give us a chance!

[@FrenchBassoonKiss]

Turtle Canyon Comedy Seriously, will there be a third episode? Hope yes!

[@turtlecanyoncomedy]

Yeah, and a fourth and a fifth and a sixth. But that'll be it. Monthly.

[@esmexo7678]

and now people are getting stabbed there almost every day😐😐

[@hillsonn]

Don't bother running

[@maggierowland9914]

This inspired “This country”

[@bims4575]

Looking at this in 2021

[@chiefersutherland5609]

this was absolute perfection!!!

[@againagain394]

It's awe about Joe Williams

[@wickedvideowatcher]

Is there sunshine in Britain?

[@hellopeoplez8636]

No

[@maias9596]

Yes there is

[@plaza8470]

Low-key used to be terrified of Wicky Bear as a kid.

[@davecarpenter2517]

Mick still works there OMG!!

[@GarrettPDGA]

Every time it cuts to them driving on the left side, I panic just a little

[@ryantheiron4191]

I'll have a brown derby from Wimpy please Mr Gaycaster
