James Acaster: Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999

2020127 min8.1 / 10

A deadpan stand-up special that mines personal depression and life's contrasts for comedy, balancing self-deprecating melancholy with irreverent humor and nostalgic reflection.

On December 17th 2019, I, James Acaster, filmed my 2019 tour show Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 at EartH in Hackney. It was a show about the best year of my life (1999) and the worst year of my life (2017), I wore a very nifty jacket for it and I looked extremely cool.
