Q & A With The List - August 2022 The List - By Brian Donaldson - August 3rd, 2022

Comedy provocateur Stewart Lee is preparing not one but two Fringe shows this August. He takes time out from all that to consider our intense Q&A which leaves him pondering about his days as an Army Cadet and wondering about otters, parrots and Snoop Dogg. Who would you like to see playing you in the…

Snowflake/Tornado at Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, 29 June-3 July 2022 - July 2022 Abundant Art - By Amy Melling - July 7th, 2022

He makes The Times’ coronation of him as “the world’s greatest living stand-up” a centrepiece of the…

Stewart Lee: Snowflake/Tornado - March 2022 The List - By Jay Richardson - March 22nd, 2022

Netflix’s arrival has reinforced the notion of a stand-up hierarchy, while complicating the perennially wretched subjects of taste and offence. Watching any comic on a subscription service implies consent to hear certain material. Yet the streaming juggernaut’s power and reach means any targets of alleged ‘punching down’ (as in Jimmy Carr’s recent gypsy Holocaust gag)…

‘The only time I wanna see ‘big break’ and ‘Stewart Lee’ in the same sentence, will also involve his spinal column’ – Centerist Thug, Twitter YOU CAN PROVE ANYTHING WITH FACTS – IN T-SHIRT FORM !!! Crime is down 14%, but only if you ignore Fraud, which has bloomed under lockdown, in which case it…
