Zusatztext Immensely comforting - a witty and wise account of the rejuvenating effect of opening yourself up the the creativity of others. Informationen zum Autor James Acaster was born in Kettering, Northamptonshire in 1985. He left school age 17 so he could play drums in a band called The Wow! Scenario with his friend Graeme. Three people, including the people in the band, liked the band. He began performing stand-up comedy in January 2008. He has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award five times and has appeared on Mock The Week , Have I Got News For You , Live At The Apollo and Russell Howard's Good News .

But all of them play a part in the year that James gets his life back on track. By turns hilarious, moving, Perfect Sound Whatever sees James takes us through the music of 2016, the bullshit of 2017, and how the beauty of one defeated the ugliness of the other.
