James Acaster is to tour the UK next year with his last three shows, Recognise, Represent and Reset. He will be performing each show on consecutive nights in each place he visits. He has called the new tour his "Trelogy". The shows were nominated for Edinburgh Comedy Awards in consecutive years from 2014 - 2016.
The tour starts in Brighton on February 8 - 10 and ends in Aldershot on June 21 - 23.
Of all the current BBC2 sitcom pilots this was the one I was looking forward to the most. When I heard that We The Jury was written by James Acaster I assumed it would be based on his 2015 Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated show about his time - quite possibly fictional - on a court case.
The winners of this year's lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Awards have been announced today at Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh.
Richard Gadd won the Best Show award for his show Monkey See Monkey Do.
Scott Gibson won Best Newcomer.
The Panel Prize went to Iraq Out Loud, the non-stop reading of The Chilcot Enquiry.
James Acaster’s Latitude set should have been an easy one. A chance to run through his forthcoming Edinburgh show, Reset, about how wouldn’t it be great if one could hit s reset button in one’s life when things go pear-shaped like you can do when you are playing Tetris. The Kettering comic probably wished he could have hit reset and done this gig again.
I think this is what they call a “no brainer”. James Acaster has notched up four consecutive Edinburgh Comedy Award nominations and a version of his new show, Reset, has already received glowing reviews at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. As the title suggests, it is all about being able to start your life again. This is no doubt a jumping off point for some trademark finely honed routines from one of the most skilful comedy engineers to emerge in recent years.
Four-time Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated James Acaster has announced a full UK tour this autumn. He will be performing his latest show Reset, following his upcoming 2016 run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The tour starts on September 21 in Cardiff and finishes at the Lyric Theatre in London on December 5.
Dates have been confirmed all over the UK for James Acaster's next tour.
The four-times Foster's Award nominee will be starting his tour at Oxford's Glee Club on September 22 and dates currently run until the Pheonix in Exeter on November 30.
The Cutty Sark in Greenwich is launching a new season of comedy shows this week. Star attractions will be playing intimate gigs in the studio theatre below the deck of the legendary tea clipper which is moored in Greenwich in south London.
The last time I saw James Acaster someone walked in late carrying two pints of lager and Acaster just went “Legend”. It seemed so out of character and out of context during his finely honed latest show, Represent, that it stuck in my mind. As did the rest of the brilliant Foster’s Award nominated set, in which the Kettering comic told the story of the time he did jury service and had great fun painting vivid thumbnail sketches of his fellow jurors. I won’t spoil the details, just go and enjoy them yourselves.
BBC Three has commissioned a brand new series of stand-up specials to showcase the most exciting new British comedy talent.
Live from the BBC will be filmed at the BBC’s Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House, London from November 13 - 15.
