Was in the path of totality of the eclipse today, in a place where a lot of people gathered. Seeing everyone there, gathered together from near and far, all for this rare sight... it made me think of this.

[Caption transcript: "When I saw that eclipse, I remember we were all in a field. So hundreds of people, just strangers, all sitting on the grass, just looking up at this eclipse... I don't think I've ever felt so connected to as many strangers in my life. Just amazing. It was still and quiet... It's hard to describe it to people who weren't there without using words like 'twas' and stuff like that with Shakespearean character out of nowhere, but... It was emotional, you know?"]

Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 will always be special to me.

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.

if there is ever a nuclear blast near my house I will open the freezer, take out the lasagna and hide in the middle until the blast is over. Then I will leave the lasagna and put it in the microwave for a few more minutes to make sure it is fully cooked trough

Hi, everyone!

So, my favorite comedian after Bo (of course) is James Acaster. I actually had the privilege of seeing him live on Election night with @nicoleanell and @semivolatilegirl, and he was absolutely incredible and hilarious! 🙌🏼

If you haven't watched Repertoire on Netflix yet, I HIGHLY recommend it! He also has a special called Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 that's on Vimeo—I consider Repertoire to be akin to what. and Cold Lasagne to be his Make Happy.

Anyway, he has a new book out now that I pre-ordered ages ago, and it finally arrived on my doorstep!

Here's the trailer and the audiobook promotional video he made for his guide to quitting social media (I ADORE his cocky lifestyle guru persona), and here's my website post about Bo and James.

Have you read the book or listened to the audiobook version? What were your impressions? What do you think of James Acaster in general? I'd love to know! ✌🏼
