His latest special was recorded in December 2019 and still bears some of the topical hallmarks of that year-Acaster is trying to sort out Brexit with a second referendum-but most of his stand-up focuses on his own life as a comedian and his mental health.Īcaster plays with perspective throughout Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999, arriving on stage in sunglasses and trying on a new persona that’s all bravado and four letter words-to get rid of the old people and “Chrizzos” (a term for Christians I’m tempted to start using).
