Stewart Lee – Carpet Remnant World (Tour – Salford) ★★★★ - April 2012 What'sOnStage - By Dave Cunningham - April 30th, 2012

Television has been good to Stewart Lee – attracting a whole new group of fans and their friends.

On hearing that Stewart Lee’s latest show Carpet Remnant World was to be staged in the larger Lyric Theatre (the 1.730 seater) at the Lowry you couldn’t help but wonder how this was going to go down with a comedian who usually eschews the trappings of success.

After two series of the critically acclaimed Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle on BBC Two it’s fair to say the sardonic comic hasn¹t been riding this high in the popularity stakes since the mid-90s heyday of Fist of Fun and This Morning with Richard, Not Judy. However, this doesn’t stop him lamenting the growing presence of…
