Parents are supposed to love and support you in your career endeavors — but that doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to give you a bit of sh*t every now and then.

British comedian James Acaster recently shared with Twitter that his standup miniseries, Repertoire, is now available for streaming on Netflix.

My stand up mini series Repertoire is now available to watch on Netflix. Huge thanks to everyone involved in making it, they turned out exactly as I imagined and I couldn’t be happier.

Say your prayers. https://t.co/caJQO7p63R pic.twitter.com/vWjwVuzoWe

English comedian and TV personality Richard Osman heartily endorsed the miniseries on Twitter, encouraging everyone to watch it.

The James Acaster specials on Netflix are spectacularly good. He is a once in a generation comedian, and I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t enjoy them. Give yourself a bank holiday treat.

— Richard Osman (@richardosman) April 2, 2018

However, things started getting a little odd when someone named David Acaster thanked Osman for his support.

Thank you Richard for this ringing endorsement. (It was a pleasure to meet you and Sunny in Edinburgh last August.)

— David Acaster (@mwasereboy) April 2, 2018

Much to Twitter’s delight, David turned out to be none other than James Acaster’s father.

….hang on….David…James? What’s going on, pls…

— Christian Holder (@Christi91732609) April 2, 2018

I’m JA’s father.

— David Acaster (@mwasereboy) April 2, 2018

However, it was David’s comments about his son that really got Twitter’s attention — specifically, that he’s “not for everyone” but that he “is original.”

Ha ha….I’ll check your boy out…If Richard thinks he is that good…well….best regards, David. Christian.

— Christian Holder (@Christi91732609) April 2, 2018


Thanks man. He’s not for everyone but he works hard, is original and is building a following. There’s no better introduction to his work than the Netflix specials.

— David Acaster (@mwasereboy) April 2, 2018


Wow. It’s rare that you get to see the subtle and elusive Dad Burn out in the wild, but when you do, it’s a delightful experience.

James definitely picked up on his dad’s backhanded compliment, wearing it with pride and a hint of chagrin.

— James Acaster (@JamesAcaster) April 2, 2018

Fellow comedians found the whole thing to be hilarious, and wasted no time in giving James grief.

Good to see your talent hasn’t grown from overbearing parents. pic.twitter.com/jTONQquvfI

That is my mum though

— James Acaster (@JamesAcaster) April 2, 2018

And hey — who says that you have to be “for everyone,” anyway?

The best kinds of people are the ones not for everyone.

— Erica Roark (@msericaroark) April 2, 2018

David stood by his “compliment,” proud of his son’s “distinctiveness.”

Thanks Erica – that’s exactly what I meant. Not generic, distinctive.

— David Acaster (@mwasereboy) April 2, 2018

Nobody knows how to zing you quite like your parents. (Especially when they’re well-intentioned.)
