Acaster repertoire series#

Acaster is four parallel dimensions ahead of you. You thought it was someone like Burnham or CK or Birbiglia, where everything wraps back on itself and has a meaning. Repertiore is the definition of overly written stand-up.

Acaster repertoire series#

When I saw it was a four part comedy series and I was confused, but intrigued, so I sat down and watched the entire thing in one sitting. Acaster is a fantastic comedian, and when I saw a special on Netflix I just had to check it out. He’s one of the best deadpans I’ve ever seen, his stories are ridiculous and meticulously detailed, and he’s got fantastic language jokes. His appearances Would I Lie to You are some of the funniest YouTube videos I’ve seen. James Acaster is yet another one of the fantastic comedians I found via British game shows.

But I’ve seen this before, and I want the opportunity to talk about Repertoire as a whole and not have one day where I watched a four hour long stand-up concept album. Could I have just done this in four days? Yes. I’m going to review each of the four episodes individually, and then on the fifth day, I’m going to review the entire collection as a whole. The brilliant James Acaster has a four part special on Netflix called Repertoire, each part consisting of a wholly self contained fifty minute stand-up special. Instead of a comedy stand-up special, today we’re going across the pond to begin what, for us, will be a five part comedy adventure.

As the new month starts we’re trying something out.
