I've noticed there are a few fellow fans of his on here, so just a heads up that his tour, recorded in April this year is on tonight at 10.45pm.

Brilliant live comedian

But is he signing tomorrow? And what position does he play?

Just watched.
As always superb.

If you don't like this - try Russel Howard

Turned over and saw a bit of his show, when he started slagging people who voted for brexit and calling us c**ts that was enough for me.

Stewart Lee is very perceptive also

You've not understood the joke. Probably because you would prefer to take things personally rather than even try to understand why he was calling Brexit voters '*****'. But also possibly because you didn't watch more than "a bit".

One meaning of this show was about how we only allow our own already established views into our world and how this can lead you too extreme positions, (like thinking everyone that voted to leave are "C##ts" or say that judges that are only doing their job are "enemies of the people".)

TL/DR: Dont worry, he does a joke about Corbyn later on.

Now, where did I put my spiraliser?

Seems you completely missed the point then.

or Michael McIntyre and his spoonfuls of warm diarrhoea.

Interesting to look at some of the names commenting and wondering what happened to them (apart from Exploding Tortoise of course )

Stewart Lee is an acquired taste. Here's his ScoobyDoo routine from a few years back.

He's a comedy genius - saw his show in Bradford last year. Got tickets for the Lowry.
He might be a bit too lefty for many folks on here.

Think a fair lump of this forum is a bit more Jim Davison than Stewart Lee tbh.

He’s brilliant - gonna try and get tickets for end of month

Another going watching him at the end of the month.

He's let himself go....

Well, everyone is different I suppose and we can’t all like the same thing. He may well be funny, but when a comedian is talking, I don’t expect to get 1:30 in and still be wondering when the funny bits are coming. There was laughter from the audience, but I’m sat here wondering why…

I absolutely love his comedy, but i also completely understand this take. It's so long ago but i probably had this view the first dozen times i tried to watch him). It's a type of comedy that's very different to the observational comedy you'll more often be used to.

I’m there. My Daughters got us all tickets for my birthday. The joke is them going because they really can’t stand him. Giggling already.

Seeing him at the Lowry in a few weeks. Will be the sixth time I’ve seen him in various venues. Guy’s an absolute master.

funniest one i've ever seen. better than hicks, prior or even bobby davro.

Another one here who doesn't really get him, but in my defence I'm much more comfortable with the observation comedy

Really do need to give watching him another go because the odd clip online I see of him it is very good

Not at all, just finished watching Sicaro II and was about to go to bed

My bad for getting annoyed at the message board weirdo (well, one of them at least)

all down your front, down your chin and some spare in a flask.

Well, I'm guessing that you are well oiled so I'm going to call it a night

Save some for tomorrow!

It's a reference to this

Saw him in 2016 when he took a random slot at the Tattershall Castle, a small pub boat on the Thames, can't have more than a couple hundred people. We were 2nd row, couple of meters away. Old school mic in front of black curtain club, he tried some new material, which later appeared in the next tour. Brilliant stuff, the most memorable being the quite violent threats he made against our families and us if he saw anyone filming it on their phone

that's the longest thread bump I've ever seen !!!!

Thought he was brilliant at the Lowry Theatre last night. The way he constructs everything is sensational to watch. Saying that, I thought it was his loosest show in quite a while - contained actual jokes(!), audience interaction(!) and no real over-arching theme as per. Loved the disdainful Fleabag bit and the extension from that.
