James Acaster Got Heckled by the Same Person in Three Different Countries - Late Night with Seth Meyers
• James Acaster Got Heck...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
It’s always fun to watch a comedian with deep roots in “yes and” improv try to riff with a comedian with deep roots in deadpan absurdism and uncomfortable hostility.
THIS! Their personas are so wildly different and i couldn't put my finger on _why_ except for the cultural difference, but it's absolutely the difference between cutting your teeth doing shows and EFF or doing improv at UCB
@@westofley what does EEF mean 🙈 Google is not helping
@@notadentist14Edinburgh Fringe Festival
I can't tell if this comment is secretly genius, or if I'm an idiot. I can't tell which is which in your comment, because it somehow works both ways, lol.
Deadpan absurdism and uncomfortable hostility are the pillars of Britain, its the only reason the country hasn't collapsed yet
i have to commend james' commitment to always looking as though he hasn't slept since the invention of penicillin
the guy looks EXHAUSTEDDDDDD.
@@lovingtennis247 I would be concerned if he hadn't looked the same for all the years I've been watching him lol
@@lovingtennis247 man's a depressed clown trapped in the body of a victorian chimney sweep (i love him)
He just has the worst jetlag of his life (because John Oliver urinated on his seat)
@@AGoofyFellow hope he didn’t have to make flapjacks and/or have a breakdown on national television. 🤭
Based on the heckling story, it sounds like Mick has grown up.
🥬
Haha! 😂 James, you've been cabbaged again! (Random bike.)
Had the same thought!😂
Mick's probably around 20 now, so...
Genius.
"You were better on Seth Meyers!" - calling it now
I was waiting for him to be in the audience
“So were you!”
For that Vancouver part he did a Monday and Wednesday show. I was there for the second show on Wednesday, he did a mini Q&A and I believe he said "any one have any more heckles they didn't get out during the show?" and someone shouted, "You were better on Monday!"
James should inform the person that their heckles were more emotionally devastating in Vancouver (or previous). That'll show them.
@@sweetlows1 I was at that show as well. I had to ask my sister if she heard the Glasgow one or just the monday one, and her being smarter than me put 2 and 2 together and said that the heckler from this story must have been what he was talking about when he asked if he should tell us the reference or just let everyone think that person was an ass.
I don't know which was my favourite part: the story about the heckler, the absurd bit about John Oliver being territorial and peeing everywhere, or the joke about sending a blank card to your mom because of the writer's strike.
I liked the bit where he said it was hard to get out of the reader's strike because you couldn't read the new contracts during the negotiation.
@@SergeyLazutinThis too was brilliant :)
I’ll never forget John Oliver and Seth explicitly endorsing the Sinaloa Cartel’s cocaine
Imagine the territorial John Oliver
My eyes are also circles
The look Seth has of "game recognizes game" when he has a legitimately hilarious guest....
It's the look he has for John Oliver every time he's on the show
it's so interesting bc they have wildly different personas
I like that you can tell who he thinks is funny.
"Blank birthday card" love
I was at the Glasgow show with the second heckle! It was meant to be a 2-hour show and overran by an hour, but he only got about 1 hour of his material done because the "heckles" (mostly just drunk people shouting weird stuff) absolutely derailed it. He just started enjoying how weird it had gotten so stayed on until the venue kicked him off. Weirdest comedy show of my life, but I was crying with laughter.
Ugh I went to the second night and he talked about how crazy the night before had been. I’m so jealous lol
Wouldn't be Glasgow without drunk people shouting weird stuff
Oh I'd just love that
Fess up, mate, you were the fan/heckler who followed James through 3 shows, weren't you? :p 😂
I was in Edinburgh and that was the same. James ran out of time to actually go through any material in the second half
James is absolutely right. You should mention him more often. Maybe a segment everyday on why James is the best guest ever.
Maybe even wish him happy birthday on every show
Just mention him mysteriously and say he knows and move on
Nice try, James
Maybe incorporate into the stinger about the podcast? Something like "(long pause) or don't! James Acaster is the best guest we've ever had on Late Night"
Sneak the phonemes jay/jam zay cas tar into each show for the jackals
The writers strike being a strike on all writing is such a simple goldmine of a joke I'm surprised I haven't heard it before. Brought it home with the readers strike union negotiations.
It's not funny. A lot of writers were struggling to put food on the table! Mostly because they couldn't write shopping lists and forgot a lot of vital ingredients.
@@Nabend1402 And the prescription refill failures! Oh my!!!
@@Nabend1402 this is very good
@@Nabend1402 Gold. I read the first seven words and I thought _Snowflake alert..._
Considered me arse-spanked and called Charlie.
Can confirm! James's back-and-forth with the guy in Vancouver took up a good chunk of the second hour of his show. It was brilliant! James tries to play it cool, but he was chuckling through a lot of it.
😂😂😂😂
I'm angry now I missed him in Vancouver. I thankfully got to see both Jimmy Carr and Dara O'Briain when they toured western Canada last year but even then I had to just stumble on to their tour information in time to get tickets. UK comedians don't get enough media attention here in Canada when they're touring.
@@mrquirky3626 After the intermission -- that's right, he did an hour, had a break, then another hour! -- he started telling a story about his childhood dog. Due to the length of the banter with the heckler (plus another guy), he never finished his story! (He made the decision to not finish it and told us he wasn't going to finish it.) Normally, I'd probably be a little disappointed in this. However, since I've seen a lot of comedians on their tours, I'm always a little disappointed when their Special is released because I've seen it all. But, in this case, I can look forward to hearing that whole story! :D It'll all be new to me. :)
Was also at the show, I guessed at the end the hecklers welcome show was intended to get derailed by crowd work. The show was definitely better for it happening. That guy was a ski instructor in Whis, we learned about his casual dating life and everything lol
@@Jesse12521 I found him on LinkedIn, that night. It's all true! 🤣
James is an absolute treasure and I’m so glad that Seth is teaching American audiences how amazing James is
I love his humour.
I'm not a fan of his deadpan face, though. I think it doesn't work - it's more offputting than funny.
...much unlike the kinds of John Cleese and such...
But maybe that's just me.
Then again, John was - and is - way more popular than James....
😎
Yeah he WAS more popular. Not now
I found him very off-putting on Taskmaster. His act came off as just being a jerk.
@@junkdriver42 I love him on Taskmaster. I didn't interpret him as a jerk, more like someone eternally upset with existence. I can relate to that mood, so he makes me laugh a lot
@@baileescott401 oh, yes. Nothing is more upsetting than existing. :)
British humour slays and James is one of the best. People like James and Richard Ayoade make the panel shows incredible because they feed off each other's wit.
I'll take Acaster and Ayoade over Jimmy Carr's "your mum" material any day
Where's the venison?
English sense of humour, not British...not Scottish, not Welsh but english... Britain is an island with three separate and individual nations with three separate and individual people with three separate languages, three different cultures, three different senses of humour...
@datgrrl5698 Can you also explain the difference between Britain and UK?
@@jbeutell "Britain" generally refers to just Great Britain, which is England, Scotland, and Wales, as stated. The UK includes Northern Ireland, and smaller islands belonging to those United Kingdoms. Then, there's also the British Isles, which also includes all of Ireland.
"I'm not signing something I can't read." Best joke I've ever heard James tell.
and he wouldn't be allowed anyway because of the writer's strike.
Not sure if this was intended as a compliment or to throw shade at him haha
@@hrydhcbfueexactly! Mustn't be a fan of the rest of James' work
I love how it just breaks Seth's mind when he says it too
I mean its funny but surely it cant be the funniest joke youve ever heard? Watch a bit of Geaorge carlin dude 😂
I can just picture John Oliver giggling at this whole set.
Hahah yep, bouncing uncontrollably in his chair!
Next time he’s on he’ll probably confess. “True. Every word of it. Stay off my patch, nerd.”
I was just telling my husband minutes ago that James Acaster and John Oliver are my two favourite cranky British comedians. And then I watch this interview with James complaining about John. 😂 It totally made my day.
@@ianjohnson2193 I can't wait for him to be back and for this to come up!
@@Mathapelo2006 but what about David!? Could you imagine getting something slightly wrong around him and Victoria? It would be amazing lmao
james’ ability to make a mortal enemy out of anyone he interacts with (i.e his friends son, local groups of hoodlums and now heckling fans) is a wonder
"We couldn't text each other because the writer strike"😂
Sent a blank mom a birthday card, not sure how it reached her. ROFL
The Hecklers Welcome tour is INCREDIBLE. I was lucky to get a chance to watch it at the Roundhouse in London and it was somehow both hilarious and so deeply heartfelt. Here is a comedian who doesn't need to insult or belittle anyone to be funny, can work the crowd SO well, and actually makes you feel good with his comedy. James is an absolute treasure.
So jealous. I tried to get tickets, the website seemed the crash the second they were released and then they went very quickly. Was impossible to actually get them.
James's retort should be, "I've heard better heckles in Gothenburg."
The "no post address " and the " can't read the contract" lines were such smart comedy!
Well in the UK (and Canada it seems) you don't really qualify as a comedian unless you can actually make jokes up on the spot.
The joke and delivery of "God knows how it got to her..." - perfection.
Is it wrong that I can imagine John Oliver sitting on a pilot's lap making airplane noises?
I thought that sounded exactly like something Oliver would do lol. After soaking James" seat, of course.
No, that’s on him.
@@theOtherNismOn the pilot?
Nah. I did too. Lol. He would. XD
Everything until then I was like, he's joking, but the plane noises sounded oddly believable ^^'
James on his mental anguish during Celebrity Bake Off is the funniest and most harrowing description of a breakdown I’ve ever seen.
I started making it, had a breakdown, bon appétit.
Ohh now I have to go watch that clip again... So funny! =)
THIS DOESN’T FEEL NICE
He was so tired rofl having been in that state of exhaustion, I felt so bad for him and yet could not stop laughing
Caught him at the Beacon last night and he had all of us in the audience dying for 2 hrs straight! So lucky to live near one of his US gigs.
I was at that Gothenburg gig. Everyone thought it was so strange that guy flew to Gothenberg. So delighted to find out that guy continued with it.
Please book Acaster and Oliver on the same segment.
Yes!!! That would be so chaotic and amazing 😂😂
James would have to wear waterproof trousers
With either The Northern Boys or Duran Duran as the musical guest (they have musical guests, right?) and perchance Action Star Scott Adkins, have a Yam Yam Brummie Night Baby.
They'd have a good conversation starter; they are both “Mock the Week” alumni but with no overlap
@@kleptrep94 I sense the Northern Boys would so confuse a US audience.
One of the funniest things James did was the cabbage anecdote on Would I Lie To You
Dunno, have you ever seen him build an extension on a house? Hilarious.
His game of Squirts is pretty funny but I think the best Seven Swans are swimming.
@@Assmodean ---Watching him lose his mind over Rhod Gilbert was one of the best parts of that series.
I think his story about his HS band was one of the funniest things ever.
@@chrispomfret8592 shoutout to all volunteer british firefighters who aren´t allowed to fight fires
His 4-part special on Netflix is one of the best pieces of comedy out there
I still think the show he starts on his knees with the skating story is one of the most creative pieces of comedy I've ever seen. So damn cool.
Yeah, I watched Repretoire during a pretty rough period of the pandemic and it really made me laugh hard, which I needed, and also helped me see my way out of the deep funk I was in at the time.
It's one of the few reasons I haven't canceled nerflix yet. I need to be able to see that whenever I want.
"just soaking it up" Lmao!! Acaster's nonchalant delivery is what does it man.
I love James Acaster. I love James and the Giant Peach.
I, as a 40 year old man, am now spending my day off listening to James Acaster and the Giant Peach.
Thanks, Seth.
Sounds like a good day. Enjoy 😎 😘
He did an ad read for his reading of the book on his podcast, and I genuinely couldn't tell if he was making it up or not. Him doing a bit about reading James and the Giant Peach just because his name is James sounds very Acaster.
I love how James embraces being obnoxious and leads with this strength
You mean you love how James is British?
You know, it’s funny you mention that. Watching it without sound for the first like, twenty seconds, I thought, “This guy seems so unlikable.” Then I watched on silent for another few seconds to confirm that he’s an obnoxious prick, and I could tell from his oral posture that he’s from the UK. So I’m like, “Okay, so he’s that type of asshole.”
Pls delete this comment. Those new won't get you
You got this idea from your own mind, and you're probably still pissed off that Bob Dylan shown up with an electric guitar back in the 60's@@davidechols2016
No strength. Just obnoxious
You'd think he would run out of green jumpers but you'd be wrong. 💚
Or corduroy!
LMAO for both these comments😂😂😂
When did his Mustard phase end?
They probably start off white but he dyes them with cabbage water.
@@paulqueripel3493 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Confirmed. James' eyes are indeed circles.
niche
And those were definitely Gandhi's glasses.
+2
That line was the hardest he's ever made me laugh. Which is saying a lot.
I was at the vancouver show where he pieced it all together and then he proceeded to interview the guy for 20 minutes about his situationship 😂
me too, was sooo good
Dish! What is the situationship?
James Acaster is one of the UK's best comedians. With the dead pan face as well. Kills me every time 😂
you can tell James has genuinely become one of Seth’s favorite guests to have
Fell in love with him through Repertoire. Fell harder when he defended trans people in Cold Lasagna. Fell harder with Taskmaster. 😂❤
Need to see WILTY
My eyes are circles?
You must listen to Off Menu if you haven't yet!
@@katherinetepper-marsden38 omg, I forgot that one. I hate this boi! 😂😂😂
@@parisskies I haven’t! Thanks!
"That better not be who I think it is"
😂😂😂
James Acaster is one of the most original and funniest comedians ever…….he is so dry and he lets you get it ! He lets the listener be smart enough to get his jokes. Seth he really is one of you BEST guests 🙌🏻👏🏻♥️
When Seth explained James’ joke and James just looked at the audience like «what a slow idiot» I couldn’t stop laughing
What part was that?
2:10
James cracks me up! Great delivery, great perspective, at times totally random and absurd! Love it.
I love to see James on TV in the U.S. He’s one of the best.
Well then you're going to love the clip you commented on.
As long as he doesn't get fired from US tv!!
James would need to wear waterproof trousers
I love that he is just as funny in an interview as he is on a panel show or doing a live set. No matter where or when, James always brings his "A"game.
Has Seth been on Off Menu yet? That needs to happen!
That would be neat. Now that Noel Fielding's been on pretty much everyone on this planet I can think of that should be on it has been at this point
Been waiting for this post all night. My favorite comedian that released 4 simultaneous comedy specials
You mean your favourite under-cover cop?
@@jasonhenson7948 Springleaf!
You didn't happen to be in Gothenburg, did you? And then make a trip to Scotland? 😅
Of the comedians who have released four simultaneous comedy specials, James is by far among them.
Seriously though, Repertoire is my favourite comedy special of all time. I could not breathe through most of it.
@@thombruce couldn’t agree more
I already watched this on Peacock last night, but came here to post. This is the most FIRE interview I've seen in ages. Many comedians get on the couch and the host just lobs them questions that lead into the guest's routine bits. James does a bit of that, but there's SOO much improv awareness. It's impressive. I love that he's got Seth cracking up, even though Seth probably knows the stage routine. I've always loved a good call back, and James gets them in so clean. I expect next time I see Acaster, he'll be an A-lister!
His story about his mortal enemy and the cabbages on Would I Lie to You? is brilliant.
I love that James' interview was longer than Ewan bloody McGregor's
James Acaster is Ketterings finest Boi
He's a new boy!
the best thing to ever come out of Kettering(after Weetabix of course)
K and a E and a TT, E and a R and an ING...
Pronounced Ketron.
@@Mikathedog100 Ketron massive represent !
And a ... And a ... And a ... And a ......
i have no idea who seth is or how popular his talk how is in america but i'm very proud that James is being recognised across the pond. proud Brit here.
James is the absolute MASTER of the callback. I hope he gets a US gig because he's funny af
Nope. You poached John Oliver. That’s enough. Have Corden or Piers Morgan back instead! We’re keeping Acaster!
I saw his show this past weekend and there were so many callbacks in the second half
You might want to pop and see Ghostbusters Frozen Empire...
I was at that gig in Vancouver, it was one of the best shows I've been too, he talked to the heckler for like 30 mins, and the whole crowd joined in!
me too, was so funny
This interview was so good, it was like a set in itself. Developed jokes, callbacks, even surprising twists of the flow. Acaster is top of his game.
Every James Acaster fan who hasn’t seen him in WILTY (Would I Lie To You) an English panel show - search the two, you will NOT be disappointed! Especially his story about being cabbaged, it’s superb. (Check out Bob Mortimer too. Absurdly hilarious, both of them.
Hi story about his band on WILTY is wayyy funnier !
Love when Seth lets loose a Corrections laugh on real tv.
I'm a HUGE James Acaster fan. We need more of him in the US.
I had no plans to see the new Ghostbusters movie. But I’ll watch just for James.
James is a master of timing and efficiency in using words.
"When Slimer's left the room it's a lot cleaner than when John Oliver has been in there" such a great closing joke 😂😂😂
I want an Acaster-Oliver roast battle more than I’ve ever wanted anything… other than the continuation of Corrections, of course
Together they could roast Dara O’ Briain
James has little brother energy with Seth & I love it.
Never seen Seth laugh so much! James is killing it and barely cracks a smile. Glad to have learned about him.
It's polite laughter. Seth does it all the time. He's a nice guy.
I loved him showing up last time and Seth seemed to really like him. So excited to watch this now❤
After the last time the traveling heckler says "You were better in...", just thank them for the money, in 3 different denominations.
It's you, isn't it? Lol
Currencies. The word you're looking for is currencies. Yw, (signed) A. Jackal
Not if there's a currency strike.@@icantollie
James is a legend.. simple
James Acaster is so good that even Stewart Lee admires him. When you can appeal to high brow comedy nerds, angsty college chicks and lads on a night out, all with the same material, you have one hell of a career in front of you.
Nish on After Midnight, and Acaster on Late Night?
Interesting times.
And Noel of Jimmy Fallon
I'm an American who LOVES Mock the Week to the point I welled up during the final episode, and I am SO glad to see James Acaster getting a foothold over here!!!
I love seeing him getting exposure over here, one of my all time favorite comics
He's so funny and adorable. I loved him on Mock The Week.
Perfection! Chef’s kiss! James Acaster, one of my very favorite comics is here with Seth, my all time favorite late night host. Yay!
James Acaster is the best comedian period. Freaking hilarious
I was at that show in Vancouver! He riffed with Gregor (the 3 time heckler) for 30 minutes, it was amazing.
me too. so happy to have been a part of that lol
james is one of the best story tellers of all time and an incredible just general joke teller
That heckler? James' little cousin with the cabbages.
One of my favourite bits of the whole series!
James is a freaking gem! I adore his comedy
Thanks for bringing the master back, Seth!!
This was one of the funniest interviews I have seen in a long time. Hope the new show means a new special is coming out soon as well.
Seth meyers is the best for having james on!!! I knew he would!!! James was amazing here my fav comic ever!!!!
James was on absolute fire! The Scrapemaster, Seth Meyers' best guest ever on his show.
James complaining about a persistent heckler and Seth dealing with jackals every week 🤣🐾🐾💙
I’ve been needing more James Acaster content, thank you 😂🤍
James you are the best! Love watching you and say play off each other. *chef’s kiss 😅
James really is one of the best guest.
Love James! And love that he's back!
I love James acaster so much. If I could fly to each of his shows and heckle him, too
Absolutely love James! ❤
Congratulations on getting a note worthy guest!
James Acaster is quite possibly my favourite stand up of recent years.... makes me cry laughing!
Been watching Acaster for years. His season of Taskmaster was fantastic, as I was thinking he may probably murder Rhod Gilbert on a TV show.
"Was the garage open for both teams!?"
Gawd, I love James,, love his humor and wit... thank you...
James Acaster is my absolute favourite comedian! Some subtle stuff sprinkled in with all the weird stuff, you really need to stay on your toes! Fantastic!
I didn’t know he was going to be in the new ghostbusters film. Can’t wait to see it. James was also absolutely hilarious in taskmaster season 7.
'My eyes are circles'.
@@daniellamcgee4251 lol that was funny.
...and he just shouted shouty horrible shouty heckles for the whole show. And afterwards I was like, "Lloyd, that was not the plan!" And he was real mature about it. He kinda went, "James, I'm so sorry. Honestly, I don't know what came over me. It won't happen again."
I LOVE James Acaster's dead pan delivery he breaks me up where ever he is. Popping up on Would I lie to you I know we're in for a bumpy ride. Brilliant.
Saw him in London and it genuinely was one of the best shows I’ve been to!
I love how the audience went from being almost suspicious of James, to laughing at every joke he makes 😂
I really desperately hope that James and Dan Aykroyd spoke about Dan's Off Menu episode on the set of Ghostbusters.
Hilarious timing back & forth between them both, a perfect pair.
James is one of my favorite UK comics....
havent seen any videos of him lately til this... hes always hilarious, hahaha
Totally smashed it James.
What a ridiculously funny segment 😂😂😂
I love everytime Seth has James on, already cant wait for next time!
Love seeing this guy! Have him on again!!! So sad I can't make it to one of his shows.
