Sociology lecture and urination jokes - February 2016 Cambs Times - By Kath Sansom - February 3rd, 2016

With all the allure of a teenage style temper tantrum Stewart Lee opens his Room With A Stew show at Cambridge Corn Exchange with the rant ‘Even the people who like me don’t know what they’re seeing,’ before launching into a routine of dry cynicism that teeters on the edge of inappropriate for almost two…

Cambridge Corn Exchange: review - February 2016 Cambridge News - By Tom Stocks - February 3rd, 2016
