It seems to me that the comedy of Stewart Lee can to some extent be compared to the process of making bread. The comparison isn’t without its flaws. For example, Stewart Lee does not need to be sprinkled with flour, and bread making is not hilarious. However, while a routine of one-liners could be compared to a bag of pre-sliced bread, providing instant satisfaction as each slice is produced from the bag, the particular style of Stewart Lee, I believe, is more akin to the process of home baking, which despite taking longer, provides a wholly more satisfying experience. Putting the bread analogy to one side and getting to the point, Stewart Lee is a comic genius.
