“No one is equipped to review me,” says Lee, beginning the fourth round of his standup series. He’s joking. Kind of. By now, he’s basically Oscar Wilde: it’s practically impossible to divine any meaning from his increasingly complex pose. Lee says he adopts a snobbish persona to make people “laugh in spite of me, not because of me”.
Hopefully, that’s not a rare moment of earnestness: this is a show dominated by a commentary on audience reaction, real and imagined, that’s unlikely to have anyone in stitches.
