“You’re warmer in a bush than on a bench.”

They should install a plaque next to this bush. "This bush is where James Acaster sat in a red dress, read a Dave Eggers book, ate brioche and placed a bag on his head."

[@hannathompson4400]

Ha, this scrape is on Would I Lie To You now!! So good

[@lisahenry20]

You can follow his thought process when he tells it here so it seems quite believable, but on wilty it seems so made up

[@kavehsankles]

Best scrape of all time!

[@quentinarchpomple-bigginsw352]

This is truly outstanding

[@DefneDance]

I specifically looked up this scrape to revisit. And still belly laughed! 🤣

[@kaienminko2744]

The fuck up thing is I remember a crazy person getting into that bush as I was walking home. My house was just behind the station.

[@marsixm]

oh my god i thought he jokingly made up the "we havent beat anyone up in ages" thing to make it funnier on WILTY DJGFDJG WHAT!!!!

[@JoanBull1]

This is my favourite scrap he has ever shared, I can never find the podcast of the show it was on though thankyou for uploading this.

[@fantasypgatour]

He tells this on the show "Would I lie to you" aswell.

I nearly chocked to death while listening to this! 😂 Do not drink while listening!

"If I'm not a bush, I'm not no one"

[@woodywoodpecker1984]

I got here from the WILTY clip 😂 - the fact it was true - and I've been in Basingstoke for too long 😂🙈

[@BoomBox5168]

I was just thinking what would happen if he was found with a red dress on and a bag over hs head xD

[@deffonotluke]

I have visited said bush

[@joshuataylor3550]

Is there a plaque outside the bush now?

[@NosajKnows]

Hilarious

[@Bromley68]

Dollar in The Teeth by The Upsetters is playing in the background - that's odd

[@cr33pycrawley74]

I live in Basingstoke, it's an absolute shithole. Been here 2years now, the people I've met have either been two faced or they're just plain bullies as James clearly almost experienced too 😂😬. Used to live near Reading which was a lot nicer tbh and I can perfectly picture all of this and that bush is still there!! Plus someone must have tipped the train station off as there's now a couple trains running around midnight lol.

WHY DIDNT U GO ON THE BENCH JAMES

[@slottenhamhotspur6946]

ha classic scrape

[@seanhealymusic7383]

If he had no money how would he have bought a train ticket?

[@lenasvisionyoutube]

You can ride a train without a ticket mate

[@neilhennigan8355]

who ever is breath laughing is sooooooooo annoying.. he sounds like a hoover that wont start

[@JithinJacob333]

Lot of WILTY people in the comments!
