Review: Stewart Lee, Carpet Remnant World, York Theatre Royal - March 2012 York Press - By Jonathan Wilkes - March 27th, 2012

What was the overarching feeling following Stewart Lee’s Carpet Remnant World? It was exhaustion. It is a relentless bombardment of sophisticated, crafted comedy and scrutinising of his audience. Claiming he has no new material because his life consists of nothing more than watching Scooby Doo with his son and driving to gigs, Lee opts for…

Stewart Lee’s ‘Carpet Remnant World’ @ Nottingham Playhouse - March 2012 Impact, Nottingham - By Priyanga Perera - March 27th, 2012

“Smug elitist liberalism. Who is this cunt? …I hate Stewart Lee. He’s like Ian Huntley to me,” reads a listless Lee to a backdrop of soothing jazz. These are only a couple of gems from his extensive collection of hilariously disproportionate and unwarranted hate-mail. All too often misunderstood in a career marked distinctively with little…

Review: Stewart Lee, Tyne Theatre, Newcastle - March 2012 Evening Chronicle - By Sarah Mullaney - March 26th, 2012

It’s a lie, of course. The deadpan comic would have you believe his Carpet Remnant World show is nothing more than a collection of off-cuts but, as ever, he’s put together fresh material that’s lapped up by his growing number of fans.

Mr Lee spends much of the first half condemning the majority of the crowd for not being on his wavelength, while the second half is…

Comedy review: Stewart Lee: carpet remnant world - March 2012 The Scotsman - By Jay Richardson - March 24th, 2012

Despite his BBC show being re-commissioned for a further two series until 2015, a clutch of recent awards and tonight’s performance, his biggest audience in a quarter-century of solo gigs, Stewart Lee, stand-up’s éminence grise maintains a desire to retreat back into cult obscurity. Or at least to the humbler Citizens Theatre across the Clyde.…

Carpet Remnant World. Norwich. - March 2012 Beccles & Bungay Journal - By James Goffin - March 11th, 2012

For a man who professes to dislike the internet so much, Stewart Lee is an ardent fan on one of its trendiest aspects: the meme. His act is almost entirely based around the recurrence of motifs: building them up in the audience’s mind and returning back to them again and again, hoping that the growing…
