James Acaster and Bob Mortimer are two trickster gods from mythology that got bored and decided to be comedians in the UK. Driving David Mitchell to the edge of insanity is a nice bonus

More likely he thought it would be less likely to be true if James described the leaves. If this had been a lie, James going into detail about the leaves would've led David to believing its a lie because most people aren't going to remember such trivial details like that

Yeah, in the 90s in Leeds my flat mate asked me to cut his hair (with scissors) cos I’d done my own braided hair extensions & had a degree in Fine Art (apparently that makes you a qualified hairdresser!!!!). I said I wouldn’t be able to do a good job, he said he trusted me; I said that’s nice but I can’t cut hair, he said he trusted me…so I did it! As it turns out, I was very much right, it was a total balls up! Boys, don’t imagine women can cut hair just cos they can style their own!!!

For me, 50% to 60% of why James is funny has to do with his accent and that he sounds like his nose has been stopped up so long he's decided he just has to live with it. Is it because I'm American, or do Brits also find his particular accent amusing?

FWIW, it's almost certainly a put-on. If you search on KZfaq for "James Acaster One Night Stand", you'll find a recording of a show pretty early in his career and he sounds very different. There's elements of this accent in it, but it's much more normal. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe the "normal" accent was the put-on.
