BRIGHTON ARGUS OCTOBER 2005
Stewart Lee was over the top, spending
most of his time on stage talking
about vomit.
The co-writer of the controversial show,
Jerry Springer The Opera, even talked about vomiting into the arse
of Jesus Christ.
Lee is supposed to be a ground-breaking comedian
and writer, but I found little entertainment value in his material.
It was not funny. It was a sad and deliberate
attempt to see how far he could go.
This was ultimate sick humour, and if
anyone thought it funny, they must be sick as well.
He joked about the IRA, whom he described as
"gentlemen bombers" and the recent London bombings.
Some members of the audience found it too much
and walked out, including Brighton actress Carol Cleveland of Monty
Python fame.
She quipped: "I am running out
to find a doctor. This guy is sick and needs help."
