Stewart Lee: Edinburgh Festival Theatre – 9th October 2013 - October 2013 YoungPerspective.net - By Catriona Davidson - October 21st, 2013

Comedian Stewart Lee is currently on tour in the UK, performing with the original name “Much a Stew about Nothing”, a title which set the bar for the show itself. In the usually full Festival Theatre, Lee was much less anticipated, performing to less than a third of the venue, a fact which he was…

Stewart Lee, Comedy Review. Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. ★★★★★ - October 2013 Liverpool Sound & Vision - By Toby Hall - October 15th, 2013

Stewart Lee’s latest show boasts value for money as he delivered two hours and twenty minutes of largely new material, where he takes seemingly familiar subject matter to abstract and hilarious new territory. Lee opened many of his segments at the Philharmonic Hall with an ostensibly simple and recognisable situation such as the affrontingly ignorant…

Stewart Lee: Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre – 10th October 2013 - October 2013 Gigglebeats - By Nic Wright - October 12th, 2013

Remember Stewart Lee’s last show, Carpet Remnant World?

There are few things I like better when the autumn nights are drawing in than a trip out to see one of my favourite comedians perform live. Stewart Lee is one of the best live stand-ups I’ve ever watched. The word I’d always use first when describing his work is clever, but that’s not to…

Much a-Stew About Nothing, Lowry, Salford Quays - October 2013 Manchester Confidential - By Mark Jorgensen - October 8th, 2013

Mark Jorgensen visits the Lowry for an alternative comedy experience IF comedians were films – which granted, they aren’t – Stewart Lee is the type you’d watch at the Cornerhouse rather than the Odeon. He is the only comedian in the world who can tell you the exact time, content and rationale of a ‘joke’…

Much a-Stew About Nothing, Lowry, Salford Quays - October 2013 Northern Soul - By Paul Glynn - October 7th, 2013

If 2011’s Carpet Remnant World was Stewart Lee’s ground-breaking psychedelic album, then Much a-Stew About Nothing could – as its title suggests – be his next batch of unfinished demos. And on first listen it seems, that with a bit of work in the studio, there could be some more cult-classic comedy hits on the…
