Stewart Lee said in an earlier broadcast that “no one is equipped to review me”. That’s me told, bless him. The alleged theme of last week’s Comedy Vehicle was patriotism. He could so easily have been lazy. Stew is many bastarding things, but lazy isn’t one.
Somehow, he managed – mouth-farting into a mic – to turn a full three minutes of the sounds of a cat’s diarrhoea into the most plosive and gorgeous argument against deference. It was wonderful, and I still stand and applaud its sculpted perfection. A man mouth-farting into a microphone, while mumbling the national anthem badly and talking about cat shit shouldn’t have been subtle, but somehow it and its wider points were, and clog-brained oversentimental deference might want to pipe down for a bit.
