‘Flags’ - July 2016 July 8th, 2016

IN EARLY 2015 I had a long routine about a cat named after UKIP politicians, but I had to drop it over the Summer of 2015, and re-write it to be about Jeremy Corbyn. So utterly had UKIP dropped from public consciousness that no-one was even interested enough in them to laugh at them. Of…

Will Self meets Stewart Lee: ‘Are you really, ultimately embittered, or not?’ - February 2016 The Guardian - By Will Self - February 26th, 2016

I first saw Stewart Lee’s standup act in the early 2000s at the Hackney Empire, and have seen him several times since at venues in London and Edinburgh.

Touching on everything from losing out on a Bafta to Graham Norton, to hating yoghurt-drinking under-40s and orienteering with Napalm Death, Lee’s self-styled passive-aggressive approach may be very familiar, but it certainly hasn’t worn thin. His esoteric…

Cambridge, Corn Exchange - February 2016 The Prickle - February 3rd, 2016

Stewart Lee’s decision to do two nights of the same tour at the Cambridge Corn Exchange (the previous was May 2015) was a mistake.  A big mistake that he is quick to criticise and punish the audience for. Within the opening few minutes he has threatened to strike our faces with his microphone stand before…
