Filmed at the Royal & Derngate Theatre in his hometown of Northampton, England, the special sees Acaster bringing his signature wit and trademark charm to an unconventional and hilarious exploration of his own life and career. Whether he's breaking down the mechanics of his jokes in real-time or recounting tales from his eccentric upbringing — like an unforgettable school encounter with his grandmother's spinning wheel or his early foray into impersonating royalty at age six — Acaster's show promises a unique blend of introspection and absurdity.
The special, written and performed by Acaster and directed by Stuart Laws, is produced by Alastair Clayton and Nick Long, with Amy Tuckwell as co-producer. The project was acquired by Lucy Criddle for Sky, under the leadership of Sky Studios CEO Cécile Frot-Coutaz.
