“If you had to kill Stewart Lee how would you do it? Stab his eyes out? Shotgun to the knees? Brain with heavy object?” Xpijonipsy, Twitter, 16/10/19, since removed
I THINK ALL LONDON DATES ARE NOW SOLD OUT BUT… THERE WILL BE SUPPLEMENTARY DATES AT THE ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL, LONDON, JUNE 27TH, 28TH AND JULY 1ST, 2ND, 3RD, AND THESE ARE ON SALE NOW.
I’m doing a new stand-up show for the back end of 2019 and the first half of 2020.
More national dates from Feb 2020 will be announced later in the year, I am going to do less shows than last time, but with longer runs in bigger rooms to hit the same demand.
I will film this show/these shows in the Summer of 2020 for offloading to whatever content platforms are still viable at that stage in late capitalism’s technologically-driven cultural decline.
Double-bill of two new 60-ish minute sets, back to back nightly from “the world’s greatest living stand-up” (Times).
Tornado questions a shipwrecked Stew’s position in the comedy marketplace after Netflix mistakenly lists his show as “reports of sharks falling from the skies are on the rise again. Nobody on the Eastern Seaboard is safe.” What is anything? Is it this?
And Snowflake questions our worth in a collapsing society which no longer shares the liberal values we have for so long been keen to be seen to espouse, in a fairy-tale landscape of winter wonder.
Tons of fun!

Content Provider is out on modern d/l, available now, and as a dvd with an extra disc of an early work-in-prog show,
Here is the Amazon d/l link. DOWNLOAD LINK
This is the link for physical media version via MEDIA GARAGE via AMAZON. MEDIA GARAGE is the only legit outlet for physical media and anyone else selling it isn’t me and I don’t get the money. DVD LINK
Right now there is nothing free to view of me on Netflix or Amazon.
I’m not part of a package of multi-artists shows the Network can buy from a particular production company and I’m not prepared to give stuff away free to the platforms.
That said all 4 series of COMEDY VEHICLE are still free on the BBC i-player, and all my stand-up shows except STAND-UP COMEDIAN can now be bought to view or download for ever on AMAZON.
Also, you can buy everything from me at live shows, which is best, as both I and the taxman see a slice of the action in this honest and straightforward farmers’ market style transaction.
I will even have a card machine this time around to facilitate drunken impulse mass-purchases, at rates beyond your actual means.
I am trying to get STAND-UP COMEDIAN back in circulation but the original producers have put the original contract in storage and have warned us that it is costly to locate it.
Michael Cumming (Brass Eye), James Nicholls (Fire films) and I are looking for donations to complete the film below, which is about Birmingham post-punk survivors The Nightingales.
Everyone who donates, no matter how big or how small*, will be featured in the end credits.
*(I think this sentence, written by James from Fire, relates to the size of the donation, not the donor.)
https://www.kingrockerfilm.com/
There is now a podcast radio thing you can listen to of me and Michael talking about The Nightingales here. It is ace.
Faber have published March of the Lemmings.
Drawing on three years of newspaper columns, a complete transcript of the ‘Content Provider’ stand-up show, and Lee’s caustic footnote commentary, March of the Lemmings is the scathing, riotous record the Brexit era deserves.”
I am contributing some words to a new performance by mediaeval minimalist the mighty Laura Cannell, at London’s King’s Place on July 11th – https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/

NEW RECORDS – 2018/2019
My ten favourite new records this year were…
1.Richard Dawson – 2020 – The best and most essential new record of the year for me, a state of the nation observation of incredible compassion in art-folk form
2.Long Ryders – Psychedelic Country Soul – Unexpectedly viable reunion record from alt country pioneers concluding unfinished business
3.Bangles/The Three O’Clock/Dream Syndicate/Rain Parade – 3×4 – Unexpectedly viable 4-way project of 80s LA psychedelic bands covering each others’ work
4. The Beasts – Still Here – Unexpectedly viable record by surviving members of Australian blues-psyche-garage punks
5. Trash Kit – Horizon Afro-highlife-postpunk hybrid of life-affirming power
6.Guided By Voices – Sweating The Plague – Best of many albums this year by veteran Ohio mod-prog band
7&8. Dry Cleaning – Sweet Princess & Boundary Rd Snacks And Drinks – Sneery literary dirty realist post-punk that flips my wig
9. Slagheap – Slagheap The shouty girl version of 1981 Fall kick ass
10. Major Stars – Roots of Confusion – Boston psych veterans continue to lay down impossibly dense grooves

TOP 5 OLD RECORDS….
Simon Bonney – Past Present Future (1992-99) ★★★★★
V/A – J Jazz, Deep Jazz From Japan 2 (1969-1983)★★★★★
Gorgeous Space Virus – We Paint Our Smiles (1994) ★★★★★
Dick Gaughan – The Harvard Tapes (1982) ★★★★★
The Bellrays – It’s Never Too Late To Fall In Love With (1998-2019) ★★★★★
The Gorgeous Space Virus album is a collection of never released recordings by a trippy-shoegazing-spacerock-noise band that were mainstays of London’s indie toilets in the early ‘90s. Their failure to thrive proves once again that success is not a meritocracy. This 25 years too late bandcamp d/l collection shows that we nearly had our own Englische Cosmische musiche in the vein of Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Sonic Youth etc. And, on a personal level, it flips me back to being young and thin and drunk and deafened and thrilled to be alive in the big city as I started on the circuit, not knowing that this precarious but brilliant life was as exciting as it would ever get.

Tony Brennan (1966) – In the Autumn of 1986 a student called Tony Brennan set up a bi-weekly comedy gig in Oxford, that ran like a real comedy club. In doing so he brought student comedy in Oxford from the late ’50s into the late ‘70s. This meant that, though still behind the curve, it was 20 years ahead of where it had been. I did my first ever half hour supporting him, and without the encouragement Tony provided it would have been a harder road to stand-up. Tony – who was also a Morris Dancer and a tiddly winks master – became a diplomat, noted for his ability to do bespoke stand-up shows for the diplomat community, and died tragically early after a long fight against cancer.

We know that however well we succeed, fifty ‘experts’ (people who acquire theoretical knowledge without using it) will pour cold water on the result. And the five years later, grudgingly, and ten years later, publicly, refer to it incessantly to intimidate future electronic composers. – Rosemary Tonks, The Bloater, 1968
In contrast with (my) generation, which had spent most of its time online learning to code so that it could add crude butterfly animations to the backgrounds of its weblogs, the generation immediately following had spent most of its time online making incredibly bigoted jokes in order to laugh at the idiots who were stupid enough to think that they meant it. Except that after a while they did mean it, and then somehow at the end of it they were white supremacists. Was this always how it happened? – Patricia Lockwood, London Review of Books, Feb 2019
This is the Trump way. Fire, fire, fire with the blunderbuss and don’t worry if a shot or two hits an innocent bystander. Keep moving forwards – even as your opponents return fire. Never seriously consider the criticisims, just loose off more shots. It is a strategy that has benefitted Britain’s Trump tribute act, Boris Johnson. As an opinion columnist on The Telegraph , Johnson specialised in offence, from writing in 2002 that the Queen loved the Commonwealth because “it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving picaninnies” to his recent descriptions of Muslim women in burqas “looking like letterboxes”. Such comments are deliberate provocation, pushing the boundaries of what it is permissible for a senior politician to say. IN AN ATTENTION ECONOMY, THEY ARE HARD CURRENCY. Any backlash can be portrayed as “political correctness gone mad” or “liberal Stalinism”. Even having to say sorry can be taken as proof that once again, the liberal totalitarians have triumphed. It is a game in which every path leads to victory. Yes, it is divisive, but for every voter who is repulsed, the calculation is, another is attracted. – Helen Lewis, New Statesman, 7th June 2019
There’s a large audience for this kind of thing and comedy marketers are hip to it. A 2016 Joe Rogan special was titled, simply, Triggered. A new special from Bill Burr that offers subtle critiques of the turn against political correctness was nevertheless promoted by Netflix with a selection of clips from a rant in which Burr appears to mock the #MeToo movement, feminists, and the like. This year’s MTV Video Music Awards were hosted by 46-year-old comic Sebastian Maniscalco, whose opening monologue mocked millennials and teens. “If you feel triggered or you feel offended by anything I’m saying here or anything the musical artists are doing,” he said, “they’re providing a safe space backstage where you’ll get some stress balls and a blankie and also Lil Nas X brought his horse which will double as an emotional support animal.” Those who turned to Google afterwards wondering how an aging comedian wound up on MTV sneering at young people the network has been struggling to reach might have happened across a Forbes article listing Maniscalco, who also released a Netflix special of his own this year, as one of the top ten highest paid comedians in the world in 2018, having earned an estimated $15 million. Chappelle was third, having earned $35 million. This “mutated McCarthy era” has treated the comics on that list particularly well….. As far as comedy is concerned, “cancel culture” seems to be the name mediocrities and legends on their way to mediocrity have given their own waning relevance. They’ve set about scolding us about scolds, whining about whiners, and complaining about complaints because they would rather cling to material that was never going to stay fresh and funny forever than adapt to changing audiences, a new set of critical concerns, and a culture that might soon leave them behind. In desperation, they’ve become the tiresome cowards they accuse their critics of being—and that comics like Bruce, who built the contemporary comedy world, never were. – OSITA NWANEVU, The New Republic, Sept ‘19
I’ve found it hard to get this article in print. One editor explained reluctance to publish on the grounds that the newspaper’s political team had cultivated excellent insider sources and publishing my piece would invite charges of hypocrisy. There was a searing honesty of sorts to this remark. Papers and media organisations yearn for privileged access and favourable treatment. And they are prepared to pay a price to get it. This price involves becoming a subsidiary part of the government machine. It means turning their readers and viewers into dupes. This client journalism allows Downing Street to frame the story as it wants. Some allow themselves to be used as tools to smear the government’s opponents. They say goodbye to the truth. Social media has provided new ways of breaking the boundaries of decent, honest journalism. Of course political journalists have always entered into behind-the-scenes deals with politicians, but this kind of arrangement has gained a new dimension since Boris Johnson entered Downing Street with the support of a client press and media. As a former lobby correspondent (on the Evening Standard, the Sunday Express and The Spectator) I understand the need for access. The job of lobby journalists is to produce information. But there is now clear evidence that the prime minister has debauched Downing Street by using the power of his office to spread propaganda and fake news. British political journalists have got chillingly close to providing the same service to Boris Johnson that Fox News delivers for Donald Trump. – Peter Oborne, Open Democracy, October 2019
