About this listen
The Sunday Times Best Seller
James Acaster has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times and has appeared on prime-time TV shows like Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and Russell Howard's Stand Up Central.
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.
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) in all their glorious stupidity.

Laughing out loud like an insane person
James is winsome perfection. This is the mental version of a packet of custard creams. Hell why not, two packets!

A Whirling Dervish in Corduroy
I would very much enjoy hearing James Acaster talk about whirling dervishes in corduroy. I would enjoy listening to James Acaster talk about anything. He just has funny bones. #Audible1

Embarrassing to read in public.
I listed to James Acaster's Classic Scrapes while building a fence. At one point my neighbour popped outside to see if I was ok. Apparently, doubling over with laughter and tears streaming down my face was easily mistaken for serious distress. High praise for the author indeed!

Holds up!
Old book, and if you’re familiar with his stand-up it won’t be much new, but it’s still woven nicely.

A total knee slapper
I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this audio book, James' comedy shined throughout the book. The self deprecation was truly appreciated and to this day I find myself going back and listening to my favorite chapters again and again. His delivery is spot on, I found myself having to pause every once and a while because I was laughing so hard. One day I hope he does a re-rendition of La la la la Humpty.

Builds from enjoyable to excellent.
Great narration, from the author, as entertaining and sometimes laugh out loud moments are recalled.
