About this listen
The Sunday Times Best Seller
James Acaster has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times and has appeared on prime-time TV shows like Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and Russell Howard's Stand Up Central.
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) in all their glorious stupidity.

Cabedged, cabadged, cabbage
Great listen and what some might say sound life advice. Fits of laughter all the way through. Only disappointed is I want more scrapes. I think James should search out new scrapes like trying to do something different each day to get into a scrape it wouldn't be that difficult given his track record.

10/10
I listen to audiobooks on my commute to and from work. This book made me dribble on myself and snort laughing on the bus every morning. The stories are even funnier because James Acaster himself narrates them

Binge listened in just 3 days, couldn't get enough
James is a rather unlikely hero, who eloquently reminds us all what can happen when you say yes to life - the good and the bad results being hilarious, endearing and sometimes shocking. I fell in love with James just a little after listening to this book! He's a super star.

Maybe don't listen on public transport.
James doesn't fit the mould - self deprecating, strangely uplifting and oh so funny.

Oh my Lord
Probably the funniest thing I have ever experienced. Don’t listen in public. Or while driving.
