James Acaster returns to Melbourne with a brand new, immaculately crafted and preposterously silly hour of his trademark offbeat storytelling. Nominated in 2014 for Best Show at the Edinburgh Fringe for the third time, we’re starting to wonder what he has to do to take it home. The king of well-executed callbacks and clever visual gags, a night with Acaster is a guarantee of low-key, whimsical stand-up from an idiot with appalling posture who takes himself very seriously. He walks his audiences through an enjoyably cuckoo hour of tales until a comically dreamlike world is created, a world any audience will end up loving, despite never knowing they wanted to be a part of it in the first place. He’s already working on a great playlist for when you guys walk into the venue.
