    I really would like to know if any fellow Americans out there are as obsessed with these Channel 4 shows and specifically James Acaster as I am. I found James through his 4 episode Netflix special two years ago and really, really enjoyed it. To the point where a whole genre of my youtube feed is James Acaster videos. However, he has a criminally low amount of content on streaming, two specials and one is only available to buy. I need more like yesterday! If anyone has any suggestions of perhaps overlooked British stand ups like James, or know of some underground Acaster content, please feel free to chime in! All that to say, the British own comedy television and game shows and it's not close.
