…on Liverpool, a cultural monopoly & pining for festivals - April 2015 GetIntoThis - By Vicky Pea - April 15th, 2015

The last time Stewart Lee performed in Liverpool was for John Cage’s Indeterminacy. This time out he is back in a more familiar guise with two nights of incendiary new stand up at the Liverpool Philharmonic, testing the waters ahead of a new season of his self-titled (and award winning) Comedy Vehicle.

Review: Stewart Lee, Glasgow, 19 March - March 2015 Lazer Guided Melody - March 20th, 2015

Stewart Lee is a comedy magician and long after this lonesome cowboy has skipped your particular town, you’ll still be trying to figure out what exactly it was that you were laughing at and how the hell he made you do it. The Festival Theatre has a huge stage and Stewart Lee seemed a small…

Stewart Lee: A Room With A Stew ★★★★ - March 2015 The List - By Brian Donaldson - March 16th, 2015

A couple of years ago, the Daily Telegraph’s longstanding comedy correspondent reviewed Stewart Lee’s then touring show, Much A-Stew About Nothing.
