Synopsis:
**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**

‘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’ – Richard Herring

James Acaster has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times and has appeared on prime-time TV shows like TASKMASTER, MOCK THE WEEK, LIVE AT THE APOLLO and WOULD I LIE TO YOU?

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) along with self-penned drawings, in all their glorious stupidity.

My Review
Genre: Nonfiction – Comedy
3.5/5

I’m a big fan of British TV shows and am familiar with James Acaster and his style of comedy. Listening to the audio version of this book, in his voice, makes the experience fun but surprisingly not as funny as I expected. I was familiar with some of the stories from watching Would I Lie to You and liked hearing extended versions of those stories. There are some classic lines that still have me snickering but overall Classic Scrapes was just okay.
