Snowflake/Tornado: ‘nodding in smug amusment’ - February 2022 The Boar - By Jude Wilkinson - February 23rd, 2022

Having scarcely been to a live comedy gig, Stewart Lee was surely a niche act to start on. His acerbic routine has been described by some as a parody of his alter-ego; by others as a deconstruction of stand-up comedy itself. And even as a confessed Stewart Lee fan, I must admit that his style…

Stewart Lee brings shark-tornados and snowflakes to Oxford Playhouse - January 2022 Oxford Mail - By Marc Evans - January 22nd, 2022

The comic creation Stewart Lee took a brief pause as the real-life Stewart Lee came forward to thank us for coming out to watch his rejigged Snowflake/Tornado show, after its enforced mothballing due to the pandemic. The man who has (by his own admission) been left bald, grey, fat, deaf, and with high blood pressure…

BUM FURY - January 2022 The Sun - By Richard Moriarty - January 19th, 2022

COMEDIAN Stewart Lee angrily smashed an audience member’s phone on the stage floor and put it between his bum cheeks. Stewart leapt from the stage and ordered the device to be handed over. He had warned him to put his phone away in a rant over how a filmed joke could be taken out of…
