Stewart Lee’s ‘A Room with a Stew’ at Colston Hall ★★★★ - May 2015 Epigram.org.uk - By Liam Marchant - May 28th, 2015

Having spent most of his career performing in low-key art centres around the country, Stewart Lee now has the misfortune of enjoying relative commercial success.

It’s May 24, 2015. It’s been one day since Ireland has officially voted in legislation to allow equal marital rights to the LGBTQA community.
