Gotta say, I really like James. I’ve enjoyed him as a guest on many podcasts and love him with Ed on offmenu. I think Ed is more natural a presenter though, but they bounce off eachother beautifully. Ed is the straightman to James’ strange self. I also admire James for being vocal about mental health struggles. But I can relate to him and his awkwardness a lot so I might be biased. And I understand why he may be marmite.

James Corden, I guess.
I adore James Acaster and saw him live last night. He was amazing. He is a real storyteller who crafts a tight show but is also able to do great off the cuff comments. I love the way he uses language and physical comedy. He's very open and vulnerable about his mental health whilst also being bleeping funny. My husband has always said he doesn't get why I love him so much but he thought the show was ace as well. I think if you just see snippets of him on panel shows or whatever when he's very much in his persona it's just a glimpse of what he does and I understandhe's a bit marmite. (I happen to think he's very attractive too.)
I don't find Ed Gamble funny at all, but he is a superb straight man who keeps Off Menu cohesive and allows James to take his flights of fancy. They are a winning combo and my very fave podcast.

Good lord she is IRRITATING on TM. surely nobody is that airy fairy
However Nish Kumar finds her utterly hilarious!
I’m fairly sure they’re best buds in real life because she quite often posts pictures of her laying on the pavement and inferring he pushed her over. Some sort of oh so hilarious in joke I thinkHowever Nish Kumar finds her utterly hilarious!
He's equally unfunny. His out laughing at everything she said was so cringe. Especially as everyone else just looked bemusedHowever Nish Kumar finds her utterly hilarious!
I saw J Acastsr years ago in a small venue near where we live. In his closing speech he picked on another woman in the audience and me to make unnecessarily nasty comments about, they weren’t even funny. Came across rather misogynistic. Wasn’t sure about him before and still can’t stand him.
Sorry that happened to you. He is a misogynist. I’ve heard some clips of his standup that show this loud and clear. Like his pal Nish Kumar. Come across as super liberal hipsters. But actually are quite women hating and are happy to tell us what we should and shouldn’t think and feel, according to their own beliefs. Both total arseholes.
I canr give examples but there is (imo) a huge crossover with so called Liberal male comedians, making fun of women wanting pur spaces etc and them actually being really misogynistic
I’ve always got that vibe from him tbh but never been able to point to why
I liked his humour and his oddness but your comment has made me dislike him.

Oh Anthony gives me the creeps so badly! Makes my skin crawl!
Haha, I can see that -his leather jacket, serial killer eyes and drawling manner are a bit off putting BUT I find his jokes hilarious.
