Stewart Lee
A new full length touring show from the acclaimed star of BBC2's Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. 'The funniest thing on television.' (The Guardian)
What can a sexless, middle-aged married man, whose life now consists mainly of watching Scooby Doo cartoons with a four-year-old boy, possibly find to write comedy about?
Formerly stand-up's youthful iconoclast, Lee now gawps blankly at BBC News 24 as Britain burns down around him and blinks weirdly at the vast wayside retail outlets during endless journeys to and from increasingly indistinct provincial theatres.
Once he lived on the pleasure planet. Now he is trapped in Carpet Remnant World.
And so are you.
'Superlative.' ***** (Metro)
'Marvellously funny - mordant, thoughtful and crafted.' (The Observer)
'He's just about the finest funnyman out there.' (Time Out)
'About as funny as bubonic plague.' (The Sun)
Presented by David Johnson & John MacKay.
