JAMES ACASTER is one of the hotly-tipped comedy acts of 2012.

He can be seen in Huddersfield at the Lawrence Batley Theatre on Thursday for a one-night stand-up performance.

James, still in his twenties, has a laid-back playful wit and an appetite for the unconventional.

He began performing in 2008 and is a past winner of the Laughing Boy New Act of the Year.

In 2010 he made a critically-acclaimed debut at the Edinburgh Festival and has appeared on Dave’s One Night Stand, Russell Howard’s Good News for BBC 3 and in a tour with Milton Jones.
