He has a book called ‘James Acaster’s Classic Scrapes’ which he details this story and a load of others. It’s a collection of stories from his radio show with Josh Widdicome.
I highly, highly recommend it. I had to stop reading it on the tube to work because I was breaking my hole laughing at it. A lady once asked me if I was okay – I had buried my head in my arms so as not to cry with laughter and break the golden rule of the tube; no talking or laughing.
If you want to hear the entire cabbage saga, here is a 54 minute long video of all the times James Acaster has talked about it, ending with this WILTY clip. Enjoy! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kNPmTZQySk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kNPmTZQySk)
James Acaster is one of my favourite guests on WILTY. His stand up is absolutely great as well. [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x73PkUvArJY) is one of my favourite bits and will shamelessly plug it every chance I get
Also, any WILTY episode with Bob Mortimer is bound to be pure gold. Go down the rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed
It really comes together because Mitchell is asking the right questions. He is like a next level comedian, feeling in what direction the conversation should go for maximum effect.

/r/james_acaster for those who didn’t know
“It was a major as far as I’m concerned”
Brilliant.
When life gives you cabbages, make coleslaw
Quality comedian. Quality show. Brits are supreme at this.
James Acaster is fucking great. If you haven’t seen his stand-up, he has a 4-part special on netflix
Check out his story on this show about the volunteer fire brigade and a game of “Squirt.”
He’s hilarious in his season of taskmaster. Might be the best season.
Looks like the kid almost fell off the platform at the end.
“I know his dad…..
He’s his son”
He has a book called ‘James Acaster’s Classic Scrapes’ which he details this story and a load of others. It’s a collection of stories from his radio show with Josh Widdicome.
I highly, highly recommend it. I had to stop reading it on the tube to work because I was breaking my hole laughing at it. A lady once asked me if I was okay – I had buried my head in my arms so as not to cry with laughter and break the golden rule of the tube; no talking or laughing.
I love James – His Netflix specials are great.
Is it me or does the kid look like a young boy Chloë Grace Moretz lol.
Springleaf!!!

>Oi oi savoy
Damn that was quick

Edit: grammar
Do yourself a favor and watch the othe clips of Would I Lie To You on youtube, such a hilarious show
Honestly jealous of UK panel/game shows, this and Taskmaster are so good
Such great TV, this and the Graham Norton show are taking over my life as an American you guys got it made over there in the UK
It really comes together because Mitchell is asking the right questions. He is like a next level comedian, feeling in what direction the conversation should go for maximum effect.
Easily the freshest and best comedian of the last five years.
Disappointed the kid didn’t give him a cabbage at the end.
Kid should have pulled a cabbage leaf out and handed it to him
Plot twist: James loves cabbage, and this is all a ruse to get people to give him free cabbages.
This is my personal favorite.

OVER my SHOULDER
Would I Lie To You is so much fun to watch
James Acaster is batshit insane. This and the one about sleeping in a bush easily rival any story Bob Mortimer or Henning Wehn ever told.
