James Acaster Tickets

I have been a HUGE fan of James for over 10 years and have wanted to see him in person for so long. I was giddy with excitement when I got my tix for his "In Progress"show on Monday. It was quirky, clever (:D), silly, astonishing, and hilarious -- everything that makes James my favorite comedian!!! James, please come back to Los Angeles soon! We get you!!!

Might _the_ best stand-up comedian I know, didn't disappoint

Absolutely amazing work in progress show, by the end it fell off the tracks and i wasn’t complaining one bit about it

Love Acaster, but Craig Simons was quite the delight at this show!

James Acaster was absolutely fantastic. The heckling from the crowd was a bit to get used to as a Canadian but his improvisation was incredibly funny and the bits of his set that he got to do were all hilarious. I’ll be first in line to buy his special when he’s releasing it and I will definitely see him again the next time he’s doing a show anywhere near me.

James Acaster reels us in with mostly true stories of his finding his way on to stages since his childhood. With lots of help from his therapist , the tall gangly man , tells stories that his Boy self , wouldn’t want us to see or hear . Hilarious scenes of his melt downs and crying as he struggles with rejection from his own grandmother at a Show and Tell in school, to hiding his awful impressions of Prince Charles , to being accosted by lads on a train . The highlight for me was his sausage dog story . Go see for yourself . Acaster’s ability to use vulnerability and self examination without being unduly saccharine or self indulgent is a marvel . We never stopped laughing for two hours. The odd misplaced lame Canadian heckles came and went as he deftly swatted them away and had us all reeling at his quick comebacks and advice as to how to successfully heckle , which we still failed at . He is charming , self deprecating and a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by men with axes to grind . Highly recommend!

James Acaster was INCREDIBLE!!!! Hilarious, poignant, a true story teller. It was so very funny and even moving at times. He has amazing stage presence and such a way with his material that a seemingly mundane story is spun into truly a fascinating and funny tale. The venue however needs work, which is nothing James has any control over which is why my review is 5 stars for him, but I will say the venue impacted my experience negatively. The line for the women's restroom at the intermission was atrociously long. I waited the entire 20 minute intermission and missed 10 minutes of the second act due to this line. The staff would not allow anyone to run across the street to a nearby hotel or restaurant to use their restrooms so we were all trapped in the longest line I've ever experienced. They either need to build more bathrooms or allow people to leave and re-enter. Missing part of a show I paid for because the physical space could not accommodate the needs of the patrons during intermission was really disappointing and upsetting as I missed build up to a joke that I then couldn't understand once I was back. I probably won't go back to this theater knowing I'll have to miss parts of a show I am there for.

James Acaster was great! We took our kids and they really enjoyed it too!

James Acaster at The Beacon was a delight. He had me laughing the entire time and, by the very end, actually made me cry with a major "Awwww!"

Drove down to the Beacon in NYC from Maine to see Acaster. We were impressed with the personable staff and the venue was beautiful. James put on a dynamic show that never dragged. It was both funny, thoughtful, and polished. The man can drum, too. Traveling 10 hrs for 2 hr show seems excessive but we would do it again.
