A Stewart Lee show is always guaranteed to be one of the best of the year, and the ‘Comedy Vehicle’ star certainly didn’t disappoint with his latest offering. Carpet Remnant World claims to be a show about nothing, with no structure or narrative. In reality, Lee satirises and deconstructs comedy itself.
He sarcastically takes pops at modern stand-ups including Frankie Boyle, Russell Kane and his ex-comedy partner Richard Herring. ‘It’s not aimed at you’ he tells the new fanbase of Jimmy Carr fans he’s gained since being back on the box, reassuring his hardcore demographic ‘Do you remember when it was just you and us?’ Carpet Remnant World is a playful, cerebral and truly original 90 minutes of comedy from one of the world’s most consistently brilliant exponents of stand-up.
