'Laugh-out-loud hilarious' - Chortle
'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 a brilliant comic mind, crackling with energy every bit as much as his corduroy slacks' - Milton Jones
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) along with self-penned drawings, in all their glorious stupidity.

"After watching his comedy special, and some of his videos on YouTube, I can hear his voice in my head telling about these Scrapes. He is a Smart-Funny guy, and I laughed out loud quite a few times while reading this book. I applaud a comedian/writer that can be funny without having to resort to being crude."

- I bought this on the strength of his recent Netflix releases. honestly I feel we have a talent of distinct originality on par with Armando Innanucci, Pratchett and some other gems I regard as brilliant from across the pond. I say this as a lifelong Alexi Sayles, Chris Eliott, etc. fan. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to Mr. Acaster's unique stylings.

- I’m a big fan. His stand up is awesome, and I read this whole book in his voice. Love me some James!
- We actually used the audiobook to pass the time on a long road trip. And we laughed the entire time and didn't even notice the four hours passing. This is a great book to read/listen to and since each chapter is a different story you can do a small portion at a time.
- Very funny, I laughed out loud the whole way through. Love James Acaster, definitely one of my top 5 comedians. If you've seen his stand up its impossible not to read the whole book in his voice, which makes it even more hilarious.
10/10 would recommend! - Not only a wonderful standup, but a talented and highly amusing writer.
- Easy Read and Super Entertaining
- I laughed so hard. You will regret nothing at the end. Looking at all my scrapes through a different lens now.
