The supplied official HBO release documents two dated live-tour entries—one from 2017 and one from 2019—and separately announces James Acaster’s HBO Original comedy special, James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome. Because the supplied announcement gives November 23 without a year, it does not establish a complete chronological order across all three entries.
Dated Tour Entries and Separate HBO Announcement
#### 1. The 2017 live trilogy: Recognise, Represent, and Reset
In 2017, Acaster toured with a three-show live trilogy comprising Recognise, Represent, and Reset. The source says the shows were performed consecutively over three nights at each venue. These were live tour shows, not broadcast or television specials.
#### 2. Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 (2019)
In 2019, Acaster completed a long tour of his show Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 around the UK, Australia, and America. This was a live tour show rather than a television special.
#### Separate source entry: James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome
The supplied HBO announcement identifies James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome as an HBO Original comedy special and describes it as Acaster’s first HBO special. It says the special debuts November 23 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. The source does not provide a year for that date, so this entry cannot be placed after the 2019 tour on the basis of the supplied evidence.
The special explores Acaster’s relationship with stand-up by having him relinquish control of his set and accept audience heckling.
Tour Shows vs. Broadcast Specials
When cataloguing Acaster’s work, distinguish between live touring productions and dedicated television or streaming specials. Recognise, Represent, and Reset originated as a three-night live venue tour, while Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999 was a live tour around the UK, Australia, and America. In contrast, James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome is identified in the supplied source as an official HBO Original comedy special.
Note on completeness: The official HBO release cited here documents these specific stage and screen entries. It is not an exhaustive catalogue of every James Acaster comedy special or live release across all platforms.
