We went up 75 mins late in Hull last night.
I apologise. The venue’s software wasn’t talking to itself. A man came in from holiday to try to get it all online. Thanks for your patience.
It was a great, if long, night, in the end.

THESE ARE FILMING DATES FOR A DVD/DL/BBC B’CAST
19th – 23rd April 2018.
Content Provider has been touring to sold out theatres throughout divided Brexit Britain for nearly two years and is Stewart Lee’s most successful full-length show ever.
Join him on these special evenings as he finally abandons two hours of monetisable material and performs the show for the very last time. When it’s gone it’s gone.
Stewart is 50 years old in 2018 and, after performing these shows, he intends to take the longest break from stand-up he’s had since his four year disappearance at the start of the century.
