Watch a clip from James Acaster's acclaimed atand-up show, Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999.

In the clip Acaster skewers the cult of edgy comedians saying what they want to say and saying if you don't like it you don't have to see their show. 

And as an extra bonus you get the story of Acaster's traumatic appearance on The Great British Bake Off and a story about the time he stayed at home when his parents went on holiday and drank too much hot chocolate.

Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 received five star reviews when it opened in London. You can see the whole show here, though you'll have to pay for it.
