About this episode

James Acaster is a man of many talents - he’s one of Britain’s best loved comedians, the co-host of our rival podcast (yet we love them!) Off Menu, a regular on the telly, and most recently became a very reluctant Traitor on the Celebrity Traitors. James joined us for a chat about his early days in stand-up, the story of his band The Wow Scenario, and we hear about his latest comedy creation, Craig Simons - the UK's number one James Acaster tribute act! We chatted about his experience in the Traitors castle, his lovely friendship with Romesh Ranganathan, and the time he caused a public outcry by punching a fake polar bear on Saturday Kitchen. What a lovely treat to be joined by such a fab guest, thank you James for such a fun afternoon! James’ new YouTube comedy special ‘James Acaster is Craig Simons’ is released on 1st December.
