James Acaster's Guide to Quitting Social Media

In 2019, James quits all forms of social media, covering his phone in tar and driving it to a lock-up in Rhyl, before setting up home in a castle he built himself called Castle Anti-Net. When withdrawal symptoms hit, he realises he must replace everything social media gave him with three-dimensional, real-life activities.

James Acaster Classic Scrapes

James Acaster has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times and has appeared on prime-time TV shows including Taskmaster, Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and Would I Like to You. Behind the fame and critical acclaim, he is described as someone perpetually getting into trouble.

Perfect Sound Whatever

Described as a brand new memoir, this book is presented as a love letter to the healing power of music and an obsessive quest to defeat the “bullshit” of one year with the beauty of another. It also includes tales of befouling himself in a Los Angeles steakhouse, stealing a cookie from Clint Eastwood, and giving drunk, unsolicited pep talks to urinating strangers.
