    I highly recommend the James Acaster Netflix specials. I'd lazily assumed he was just another straight-to-panel-show non entity but his standup is the best I've seen in years. Really clever and unusual. And really funny.

    • It is clever and unusual isn't it.
      Some really outstanding bits in there.
      I don't watch panel shows so knew nothing about him. I thought I'd give him a go.      Hayzilla
    • Yeah, he's a very clever chap - his shows on Netflix are probably the best stand up I saw last year.Nairn
    • Started watching the first one on a whim, and ended up watching them all.greyandred
    • Yeah he's great.mort_
    • I completely got to him in the same way you did – dismissed him as another bland T-shirt comic and stumbled across this. I'm a fan now.Wolfboy
    • I was at the recording of those specials. He's brilliant. Have tickets for his new show in a couple of weeks, can't waitBaskerviIle
    • How many of the sets did you see Baskerville? Did he have the same audience for all four so he could work the call backs across all the shows?Wolfboy
