Summary

James Acaster has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times in a row and has appeared on MOCK THE WEEK, LIVE AT THE APOLLO and RUSSELL HOWARD'S STAND UP CENTRAL. Unfortunately for James, fame and critical acclaim haven't prevented him from ending up in a breathtaking amount of farcical misadventures. From having to hide in a bush outside Basingstoke station overnight wearing a bright red dress, to drunkenly incurring the wrath of night bus lads, to being the only person in history to get 'cabbaged' by a child, James apparently lives his life in a perpetual sitcom. Appearing weekly on Josh Widdicombe's radio show to recount these stories, James quickly became a listener favourite, and the feature was christened 'James Acaster's classic scrapes'. Here, in his first book, James recounts these scrapes (including never-before-heard stories) in all their glorious stupidity, and attempts - with some audacity - to advise us on the moral of the stories..
