IN CONVERSATION: James Acaster

Well ‘ello ‘ello from London! Welcome to our first Shameless Takes interview for 2025 – and what better way to kick things off than with the incredible James Acaster. In today’s chat, we discussed James’ ever-changing relationship to fame, how he decides how much of his personal life to include in his stand-up performances, why he pivoted from music to comedy (and back again, a few times over) and what he loves the most about making Off Menu with Ed Gamble. This episode of Shameless is brought to you by Samsung. Fold or Flip the new Galaxy Z series today.
