James Acaster Talks Wrestling With Dave Bautista

Comedian James Acaster appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show this week and made what you might call something of a splash. He was dressed in an alligator suit and talked about his time on C4's Celebrity Bake Off and his most memorable bad stand-up gigs, which included being onstage while someone from the audience got up and started masturbating.
