So much exciting comedy news today! 👀

First, for people like me who couldn't afford Bo Burnham's drop-dead gorgeous box set when he was signing them last year, you are IN LUCK!

Shop exclusive music from the Bo Burnham Official Store.

With his recent Grammy nomination AND the fact that his album just reached PLATINUM certification this week, Bo will be signing sets again!

They are available for preorder on his website (I obviously snagged one this time around lol), and as a special treat—you get a complimentary black INSIDE tote bag!

I love that the photos show the box set fitting snuggly into the bag...like I'm going to carry it around in that lol

In other exciting news, James Acaster released the first episode of his new podcast Springleaf! The show will be loaded with guest stars, and I'm personally thrilled that James is revisiting his undercover cop character from Repertoire (which is on Netflix—do watch it if you're a Bo fan. You won't be disappointed).

That's everything for now, but BOY has it been a busy 24 hours for me (I also started a yoga class yesterday and had a job interview!).

Anyway, make sure to order Bo's SIGNED box set soon (they sell out SUPER fast), and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

This show means a whole lot to me. In March of 2019 I travelled over 900 miles to see the show twice at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana. It was two months after I got myself into therapy for the first time. My workplace had flooded Dec 2018 and I was in a really dark place mentally. Dealing with my workplace really shook me and I basically experienced dark feelings that I hadn't dealt with for 8 years. I had fallen in love with Repertoire in March of 2018 and it was one of the few things that still gave me joy during that dark time (Nov 2018-March 2019). Going on this trip to see Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 was a manifestation that I deserve to take the time to give myself what I need. I owed it to my 15 year old self, and my 24 year old self. I arrived at the venue pretty late, and had to sit against the back wall and I only got to hear Paul William's Euroleague once or twice with James playing it off his ipod. Each of the shows were only one hour long, but the first show James got so distracted by audience members (someone had hiccups) that he only got through, at most, three bits from the actual show. It was a disaster. I found it to be hilarious and I was just in awe of arriving at this place I'd never been before and seeing my fav comedian, regardless of the fact that it was basically an hour long improv set. You could see that James was unhappy about how it went when he got off the stage. Everyone left, except for me because I had a ticket to the second show, and the employees of the venue had been given word that I'd be staying inside the room during the reset for the next show. During this time, I moved up to the front row and James went into the bathroom. I seriously questioned whether or not I should say hello. I had bought peanut butter cups at the airport just in case I did get the chance to meet James and wanted to give him a gift. I knew I'd be mad at myself if I didn't take the opportunity to say hi, I had come a long way and really needed a laugh, although I wasn't sure he'd be happy to say hello to a fan after he bombed a performance. I took a breath and said, "hey James!" when he was headed back to the green room. He looked as me like I was an employee there, and then realized I wasn't. He just looked tired. I gave him the peanut butter cups and said I'd come from a long ways away, which prompted him to say, "well, sorry for that then!" but I assured him it was still great and I had bought tickets to both shows so it wasn't bad at all. I then took a breath and told him that I recently got myself into therapy because of his honesty about seeing a therapist on some podcasts and that his work has had a great impact on me and I thanked him for that. He looked genuinely surprised and more relaxed, said thanks, and went back to the green room. The second show lasted for 45 mins because he sped through almost all the bits of the routine. He left out the Brexit stuff for the American audience, finished with the Great British Bake Off story, and ended the show with a Question and Answer portion. I made two friends at the table I was sat at that night, one of whom I still keep in contact with. Seeing this live streamed in 2020 from my home I am even more happy I went on the trip to see Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 in person, and I am even more grateful for the work of James Acaster. You. Gotta. Heap.

James Acaster: Repertoire (Part 1 - Recognise)

Runtime: 50 min (33 min)

Year: 2018

Repertoire is a stand up show in 4 parts, Recognise being the first. I have watched all 4 before, so I knew I'd like them.

Acaster sets up a lot of different running jokes, all of which pay off several times. His awkward personality is worked expertly into the timing of the jokes. He sets up a main (fictional) narrative and sort of intermingles it with several (i think both real and made up?) anecdotes in a way that feels very natural.

Highlights:

Shouting your own name at people

The undercover cop setup

The pictures you put your head in

Lowlights:

I guess the conga line bit goes on a bit too long, but its still funny as a physical comedy bit

I really enjoy James Acaster's way of telling a story, going off into tangents, but somehow incorporating it into the point of the story. It's a bit absurd, but a very funny opening to Repertoire.

Some of my artwork inspired by the brilliant James Acaster!

I’m not sure how many times I've watched his Netflix series now, but this is the first time I’ve heard Ed Gamble and Nish Kumars laughs, and it seriously cracks me up even more, but also how supportive! ma heart.

Also has anyone worked out why he has different colours on each show? In an interview he said there's a reason behind it but no ones guessed it yet.
