Hecklers Welcome: Vinyl LP

PLEASE NOTE: ANY ORDERS PLACED ON OR AFTER THE 29TH OCTOBER WILL SHIP W/C 2nd OF DECEMBER

Decca Records have announced that they will release James Acaster: ‘Hecklers Welcome’ (Live at the KLV, Kettering) exclusively on vinyl. It is set for release on Friday 1st November 2024.
Dubbed ‘the strongest show of his career’ by The Times, with the Daily Telegraph calling it ‘one of the funniest and most brilliantly constructed shows of the year’, ‘Hecklers Welcome’ saw a return to stand-up for Acaster, the critically acclaimed comedian, actor, Sunday Times bestselling author and co-host of the hit podcast Off Menu.

Touring the show throughout 2023-2024, ‘Hecklers Welcome’ saw Acaster recount the formative childhood experiences at the root of his love/hate relationship with performance, whilst obliging himself to embrace any interruptions from the audience.
Heckles, phone checks, popping to the loo – Acaster would have to accept the direction in which those audience disruptions may take the show, even if it meant deviating from his meticulously crafted stand-up.
James Acaster said: “It’s an honour and a privilege to release this show on wax with Decca, especially because we recorded it in Kettering in a venue I’ve been going to since I was seven. I’m also delighted because we managed to capture one of the more chaotic gigs of the tour, full of moments that never happened before or since.”
