<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The British stand-up comedian recounts tales from his life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**</b> <p/>'I don't think I've ever read a book that has made me cry with laughter as much as this one. It was very difficult reading it in public as I looked like a madman' - <b>Richard Herring </b> <p/>James Acaster has been nominated for the <b>Edinburgh Comedy Award five times</b> and has appeared on prime-time TV shows like <b>TASKMASTER, </b><b>MOCK THE WEEK</b>, <b>LIVE AT THE APOLLO</b> and <b>WOULD I LIE TO YOU?</b> <p/>But behind the fame and critical acclaim is a man perpetually getting into trouble. Whether it's disappointing a skydiving instructor mid-flight, hiding from thugs in a bush wearing a bright red dress, or annoying the Kettering Board Games club, a didgeridoo-playing conspiracy theorist and some bemused Christians, James is always finding new ways to embarrass himself. <p/>Appearing on Josh Widdicombe's radio show to recount these stories, the feature was christened 'James Acaster's classic scrapes'. Here, in his first book, James recounts these tales (including never-before-heard stories) along with self-penned drawings, in all their glorious stupidity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>An amazing book of grimly hilarious true stories . . . with devastating deadpan<br>lines. A total, bleak treat.</p>--<i><b>Daily Star</b></i><br><br>James Acaster has a brilliant comic mind, crackling with energy every bit as much as his corduroy slacks--<i><b>Milton Jones</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>James Acaster was born in Kettering, Northamptonshire in 1985. <br>He left school age 17 so he could play drums in a band called The Wow! Scenario with his friend Graeme. Three people, including the people in the band, liked the band. He began performing stand-up comedy in January 2008. He has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times and has appeared on <i>Mock The Week</i>, <i>Have I Got News For You</i>, <i>Live At The Apollo</i> and <i>Russell Howard's Good News</i>.</p>
