Satirical standup dissects Brexit and the selfie generation as only he can – with mocking exasperation - September 2017 The Mirror - By Neil Masuda - September 15th, 2017

By his own confession at the start, Stewart Lee said: “I haven’t done this show for three months, which is the longest I’ve ever had off doing stand-up apart from the four years when I was too in debt to perform, so I might forget some of it. “You won’t notice, you’ll think,’That’s clever, he’s…

Stewart Lee: Liverpool Philharmonic - September 2017 Get Into This - By Banjo - September 15th, 2017

There was a time in the mid-90s, when a popular theory emerged that comedy was the new rock n roll.

In fact, I was so confident in my abilities that I spoke to the artist himself after the show and proclaimed my over-ambitious intentions to…

Stewart Lee 1 Colchester 0 - July 2017 Tripping Over The Ball blog - By Martin P. Brooks - July 10th, 2017

The explanation on the introductory page to this blog tells us (although I already knew) that the blog is largely about me watching football matches and maybe reviewing the occasional book. Good luck in finding the book reviews. But it is summer now, the swifts and swallows are here, I have strawberries growing in my…
