Stewart Lee:It’s Not For Everyone. - March 2020 Evans Is A Place On Earth - By Dave Evans - March 11th, 2020

I’d rather write about art, music, or film than comedy for the most part. That’s because when I’m writing about art nobody expects me to draw illustrations to go with it that look as if they could have come from the brush of Van Gogh or Picasso, when I write about music nobody expects me…

Royal and Derngate, Northampton, 6th March 2020 ★★ - March 2020 therealchrisparkle.com - By therealchrisparkle - March 9th, 2020

We saw Stewart Lee seven years ago with his Much a-Stew About Nothing tour, and I really admired (and found hysterical) his unique style of deconstructing a show and turning it in on itself. I also noted his no-holds-barred stance of calling out any audience member who dares to check their phone… more of which…

Poison-tipped gags from comic master - March 2020 Henley Standard - March 2nd, 2020

I WISH I could be as brazen as Stewart Lee — not his humour, which is richly funny, but the chutzpah which saw him stride into the Oxford audience less than two minutes into his set and wrench a phone from an audience member. “No phones, mate,” he said as he marched back to the…

‘World’s number one stand-up comedian’ lives up to some of the hype - February 2020 The Morning Star - By Ciaran Walsh - February 28th, 2020

And he starts off his Snowflake/Tornado show as he means to go on with an oblique punning quip about Julian Assange — ironic, as Lee is a columnist for Assange’s nemesis, the Guardian/Observer. Unsurprising, though, because Lee is one of most talented…

‘Falling sharks, bashing Ricky Gervais and sticking up for snowflakes.’ - February 2020 Witney Gazette - By Marc Evans - February 27th, 2020

FIRST-TIME purveyors of the comedy stylings of Stewart Lee would probably have found themselves slightly baffled as ‘The Times’s No.1 stand-up comedian’ (according to Lee himself) started his week-long run of shows at the Playhouse on Monday. The critically-acclaimed performer and writer – and patron of the Beaumont Street theatre – was not here to…

Brighton Dome ★★★★★ - February 2020 The Reviews Hub - By Simon Topping - February 21st, 2020

The rumbling juggernaut of expressive grumpiness that is Stewart Lee rolls slowly, yet relentlessly, into town; stopping off, briefly, at The Brighton Dome to delight a packed out audience. Garnering laughs from the off, Lee describes how he has got bald, fat, blind and deaf since he last went on tour, before launching into the…
