“Ghastly, puritanical, po-faced, sanctimonious, finger-wagging, Woke-Witchfinder-in-Chief” Toby Young, Twitter
“Sphincter-poppingly angry, totally unamusing and uninsightful, and painfully, excruciatingly right-on. A bitter, politically correct member of the Remain-voting liberal elite. The type of comedy which is not designed to provoke laughter so much as solemn head-nodding and applause at the politically correct sentiment.” James Delingpole, Steve Bannon’s Breitbart News
““I seem to have been radicalised into a one man crusade against Stewart Lee and his fans. This will probably occupy the rest of my life but mark my words the man will die and I will try to be the one that ends his life.” Corbyngrad Mayor @SyedforLondon, Twitter
Dear Covidians
I hope you are all well and have not suffered any loss.
One day we will be laughing again in some rooms. I cannot embrace you all.
Your pal
Stew Art Lee
All outstanding SNOWFLAKE / TORNADO dates have or are being rescheduled. Any updates will be added to the LIVE DATES page of the website as soon as they’re confirmed.
Here is an updated list of those that are confirmed and on-sale, although most are sold out anyway.
There are some new dates too, and there are sure to be some returns due to fear. The Bristol date this time is The Hippodrome, as the lovely Colston Hall is closed for refurb and rename. T
he Hippodrome is an ATG theatre. ATG tickets often end up on dodgy resale websites so please don’t pay over the odds. We must thwart the criminal touts that the Tory Sajid Javid calls “legitimate entrepreneurs” who only annoy “the chattering middle classes”. Buying a ticket from a secondary ticketing site is worse than driving to Durham during lockdown.
On Saturday 11th July at 6pm Steve Beresford, Tania Chen and I are doing John Cage’s Indeterminacy on-line, somehow triangulating between New York, West London and Hackney. This shit never gets old! Here’s the link…
INDETERMINACY, John Cage’s ground-breaking indeterminate composition, will be performed Live from New York & London by Stewart Lee, Tania Caroline Chen and Steve Beresford. This performance will be true to the original recording where John Cage and David Tudor were performing at the same time but in separate spaces.
“Profoundly moving and funny, often at the same time”- the Guardian
THIS IS A DONATION EVENT: 5-10 dollars/sterling to Paypal.Me/TaniaBabe
We will be streaming on Facebook, Zoom & YouTube…there will be a limit to the number of viewers on Zoom so you can also watch us live on You Tube.

Our documentary KING ROCKER has been selected for the Sheffield Documentary Festival in Oct/Nov this year.
There is also loads of other great news about it that I can’t share yet. Everybody worked so hard on this, and mainly for nothing, so I am so glad it appears to be being so well received by those who have seen it.
https://sheffdocfest.com/films/7007
Comedian Stewart Lee and director Michael Cumming (Brass Eye) investigate a missing piece of punk history. Robert Lloyd, best known for fronting cult bands The Prefects and The Nightingales, has survived under the radar for over four decades. Anti-rockumentary King Rocker weaves the story of Birmingham’s undervalued underdog autodidact into that of the city’s forgotten public sculpture of King Kong, eschewing the celebrity interview and archive-raid approach for a free-associating bricolage of Indian food, bewildered chefs, vegetable gardening, prescription medicines, pop stardom and pop art.
Available to watch in the cinema or Sheffield Doc/Fest Selects in the Autumn.
I appear with Stoke Newington Isolation Unit on Isolation, an experimental music album assembled by Mark Jenkins during lockdown to raise money for Age UK, which includes actual people from Tangerine Dream and Neuronium.
