Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - with James Acaster

[@katie4496]

It's great to see James Acaster just being a person. He is normally always on in a funny but defensive way

[@imogensears9326]

That’s so true about Mock The Week! There are comedians I love and some I hate- it’s great to have something for everybody. It’s so cool hearing James talk about it- I love him on that show

[@sophieshannon4746]

This is brilliant. I worked at the fringe in 2012 and met you, you were one of the only nice and friendly comedians I met :) but I do remember you saying your first fringe was 1991 and being outraged that I was born in 1991 ...

[@demianhaki7598]

James has incredible stage confidence for a young guy.

[@Kauffy901]

Yeah. A mere pup of 29 when this taped!

[@carveylover]

I would much rather spend a day record shopping with James than sweater shopping. Than we could get some great food and end it with a smashing dessert. I don't know it would be a splendid day.

[@klphotographer]

This. But like, then also f*** 😉😉😉

[@monkeytron5061]

Popped back for the car crash bit. So so funny Zero fatalities

[@reggiepollock4669]

The more I learn about Acasters music taste the more I respect the man Napalm Death and Mr Bungle 💯💯

[@tristanrowley3346]

when did he mention Mr Bungle? i must've missed that moment... when he was talking about doing 'weird time signatures and odd stops' in his band I wondered if he is a Cardiacs fan though..

[@reggiepollock4669]

@@tristanrowley3346 i think it was on the Jen brister episode of perfect sound's when he brought up Chris Patton

[@klphotographer]

Have you listened to his Perfect Sounds podcast? His love of music is so infectious. Even the most obscure and "difficult" music, he really finds the magic.

[@abegarfield7031]

​@@reggiepollock4669 Mike Patton?

[@imogensears9326]

WHY DID THIS NOT END UP ON CLASSIC SCRAPES - even the more detailed detailing story! This just proves his stories aren’t exaggerated because his real life is way more chaotic!

[@cupking7783]

Rod Hull WAS a bit of a ladies' man. He always had a bird on his arm.

[@kisbie]

Isn’t there a much ruder version of that joke?

[@royfr8136]

I wish they put the year on these

[@owencampbell8799]

They do it’s 3rd nov 2014. If you tap more it shows up.

[@cho7879]

i want to go jumper shopping with him

[@HousePetMarla]

Most other comedians would have sat back and let Richard run away with that walking penis joke, but this dude is so quick on his feet. Hilarious.

[@edjones521]

Most other comedians would think "this is beneath me, what am I doing sharing a stage with this chancer?" but James is too polite

[@ianclarke5404]

His insurance must be through the roof

[@owencampbell8799]

Young rod hull. Brilliant

[@RebusForever]

James Acaster shouldnt ever travel and if he is as a public service we should all be notified so we can avoid similar routes.

[@euresearcher733]

Why has this not got more views?

[@andampersand3871]

This comment is a year old but I thought I should point out: Someone else uploaded it and has 44,000 views Now James Acaster looks really unpopular on Richard Herring's channel hah.

[@haddonbright5279]

This comment is a year old but the other channel that uploaded this is producer(?) Chris Evans (not that one)

[@TJH9876]

Bigger cheer this year!

[@asstr0limn]

the torch moving over the bookcase thing rlly freaked me out. wtf was that

[@chazsharpley8400]

I've got a sister that works for the gas board......you wanna meter?

[@MisterAppleEsq]

57:38 Nice in retrospect!

[@philiplawton]

Egg! He said Egg!

[@politure]

Like a bird's egg!

[@jennimather316]

Love James! Can't stop laughing

[@motheringabomination1958]

I'm I the only person old enough to notice that James is the spitting image of Steve Davis, the snooker player who was voted, at one time, the most boring person in sport (or something - I might have made that up but Spitting Image did a thing on him)??

[@issaposter]

your comment made me look him up and ABSOLUTELY

[@kisbie]

James looks almost exactly like Will Merrick, the actor who played Steve Davis in The Rack Pack. They should play brothers in a sitcom about the Kettering Board Games Club.

[@freckled_linny]

Absolutely! The Resemblance between James & young Steve Davis is uncanny!!! James only has to refer to recent photos of Steve for a perfect reference of what he will look like in the later years of his life! Lol Spot on comparison!

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

@@kisbie no way, James is cuter and way less ginger than will merrick. James is strawberry blonde and Will has bright red hair

[@laurenh6668]

Zero fatalities, zero injuries.... apart from the pre-injured 😆

[@MyChannel773]

i mean if anything he looks like a young hugh dennis, when he sits next to him on mock the week it looks like bring your kid to work day

[@kisbie]

Hugh Dennis is also from Kettering. 🤔

[@weavehole]

I have now seen the orchard gag.

[@SuperLegionnaire]

where,s Lizzey Roper, man????????

[@SkeletorsRightHand]

this is the most sordid I've heard James speak.

[@LetsSmokePodcast]

44:14 Richard channeling Adam Eget, Holocaust denier.

[@brendansheerin8980]

I love normcand adam

[@8balljunkie]

Norm is/was a legend

[@Superfantastictop10]

The car crash...very irresponsible driving I'm afraid.

[@MrBoBoTom]

Interesting watching these seeing his weight go up and down lol

[@blackfang3000]

Hugh Laurie with the bad teeth is he???

[@annabelstrange6049]

I use these podcasts to get to sleep. Can’t stand it when you begin the podcast by talking so fast. Please try and pace yourself for neurodiverse people.

[@Herring1967]

I suggest you move over to stone clearing.

[@marianadentsy2279]

Lol first world problems!

[@emmah6418]

You can change the playback speed in settings! I usually have to speed things up haha

[@rooty]

Isn't it impossible with adverts anyway? I download anything I want to listen to at bedtime and edit out anything loud or annoying
