★★★★ - March 2017 Edinburgh News - By EMMA NEWLANDS - March 18th, 2017

Stewart Lee says during this date on a lengthy tour of his Content Provider show that runs into 2018 that he wants to give the illusion of structure. But it’s definitely no illusion, with a set that masterfully weaves together subjects like Brexit, bondage and, inevitably, bringing down some of his grating comedy contemporaries a…

Stewart Lee at the Nottingham Playhouse – Review - March 2017 Nottingham Post - By Sean Hewitt - March 15th, 2017

Content Provider, the latest show by coruscating stand-up Stewart Lee, seems at first to be simply more of the same thrillingly intelligent, intricately constructed comedy he’s been selling for more than 20 years. But it’s more than that, building towards a final destination few comics could imagine, ending in a dazzling visual flourish. Yet again,…

This is a testament to Lee’s popularity and perhaps to Brighton’s good sense of humour. We’ll see what Stewart has to say about that……

I had wanted to start this review with the old Bob Monkhouse gag: ‘Everyone laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian. They’re not laughing now’. This was because Lee was the knowingly intelligent, metropolitan liberal whose deep analysis of the method of comedy allied to strongly-held political views would simply lead to…

★★★★ Brighton Dome - February 2017 Brighton Argus - By Jake Kennedy - February 27th, 2017

With a comedian as political as Stewart Lee, fans could have guessed Brexit and Trump would feature in his latest show, a rolling tour he admitted would evolve between now and next April. In fact, he complained, today’s fast changing world makes comedy somewhat difficult to pin down. So, although both these topics were covered…
