Please world. Please please please world. Please suddenly find someone that captured this on video and share it with us as it could be the very thing that brings us together in harmony.
"It's the things you don't do in life that you regret the most" - is something that James Acaster has never said
I love how every time I think one of these 'Scrapes' is almost over, there's another segment to the story. Damn, thanks for uploading these amazing stories.
Egg shaker imagery is magic
Ayy this is greenbelt festival he's describing. I've been there a few times, but I don't think the year James was there. It's always a good laugh. Not everyone there is that weird, bit there's enough of them there to keep things interesting.
I cannot believe all of these scrapes are true...How on earth does he get into this trouble?
By being socially awkward and nervy. You become agreeable and don't protest as much as you should in a particular situation.
He's James William Acaster. What can we expect?

Yup and same here. I have been in so many situations in which I should've gotten angry, like when I confronted my best friend on stealing my items, but I remember just standing there and waiting for her to apologize, while she was busy gathering -all my- her new belongings and send _me_ out the door without my items.
It's a good thing that I've been practicing speaking up and as far as I'm aware, James is doing the same thing and no longer accepting shitty treatment from people. :)
I think it's his talent as a story teller. I think most people write off genuinely funny experiences without appreciating the absurdity of it. Guys like James are able to morph otherwise mundane experiences into good stories.
A lot of his scrapes are fairly boring when stripped down to their basic summaries
XanBcoo lmao how the hell can this story sound normal from any other teller
Fuck I died at the egg shaker jokes around 3:10 Lmfao
HÉY, I júst noticed that elderly Elsa and Anna are playing that jeu de boules(?) game!
The white and lightblue dress? And the pink with blue & print skirt? 100% Match.
Even the hair colours!
Classic Greenbelt when it was still in Cheltenham!
How does slamming coathangers on a table not already cover 'percussion'?
Init I was thinking that haha, not as if it provided any melody. Maybe it's one of them like percussive minimalist tings
Now we know how he really feels about the chrizos
I can't stop laughing. I'm crying. It hurts.
*REFLECTIVE SURFACES.*
‘Horses are devout Christians’
Lovely White Stripes reference
I do wonder about some of the weirdest experimental performed at open mic events. I think this ranks as pretty unique.
LOVE THESE SO MUCH, CHEERS BUDDY!
My Lord what an adventurous life
I, myself like to practice Chai Tea
I do love coat hangers
The title of this video really does nothing to prepare you for what actually happens
lmao any other greenbelters
Welp I guess I'm a Christian now
ReFlEcTiVe SuRfAcEs!!!
I can't imagine any Christians going 'l need to get myself some coat hangers and get to that festival' either........
I'm very late but ....I am pretty sure that person was having a manic episode. I have met many people drawn to their own peculiar version of Christianity or other forms of spirituality during a manic episode. Everything has heightened meaning. The lady probably assumed that the coat-hangers on the tree were a gift for her to perform the sacred ceremony. People during a manic episode are spontaneous and creative, often in ways that don't make sense to us mere mortals! It may have originally started out with Christian intent, but ended up pagan as a result of the gift from the tree. I have received some very curious poetry from a lovely generous hearted lady during a manic episode. 'Reflective surfaces' would have fitted into that poem. Actually 'reflective' was in that poem! It would have been a pun on reflecting in a thinking sense, also. Maybe something about superficial thinking, and conjoined twins being deeper connection to Earth, or something like that. And/ or both James and the lady connecting as one for the ritual. I am so glad that James treated her with respect. His response says a lot about him. I hope the lady stayed safe.
Did James perform with Yoko Ono?
Conjoined twins!
Wychwood?
I’m pretty sure the festival that this took place at was New Wine festival that happens at Cheltenham race course every year
Lion Wild hdjfjgk its not a wine festival its a christian festival 😂😂 my very christian parents used to take me when i was a kid
Lion Wild yeah - tbh i enjoyed it a lot when i was a kid, there was lots for a bored 12 yr old to do and it wasn’t overly preachy or anything. i haven’t been for years though so i couldn’t say how it would be now
Definitely Greenbelt
No its greenbelt i think
@@dannykuhrt9144 been to greenbelt too but it doesn't take place at a race course
Oh! My😄! I can believe it! But its just as unlikely ad one of my experiences that I just laugj my eyeballs out😂😂😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
