Thanks for doing this great triple bill of Stu. I've got the DVD but hadn't watched it for years and had forgotten just how many funny things this show is full of. You're also the first people I've ever seen react to a whole Stewart Lee show...wish more did as he really is something special. His show 'Carpet Remnant World' is one of the most faultless comedy shows ever - you've seen the Osama Bin Laden piece but it's hilarious from start to finsih. Thanks again for this.
Lee’s act has evolved to the next stage. He is the most intelligent comedian. He is the Professor of Comedy. He will tell you when to laugh, what to laugh at, and why you should laugh. For some reason he can do this and make it even funnier. Check out his later stage shows, “Content Provider”, “Snowflake/Tornado”. If you are non-religious check out his extremely blasphemous, hilariously funny, “90s Comedian Excerpt”.
I recommend a clip where he’s ‘warming up the audience’ at the start of a Sheffield gig. Perfect example of how he first alienates the audience, before dividing them and then turning them on each other - Absolutely love his stuff.
Well done for watching the entire show. You have just made me want to see him live. There's not many people who say the N-word that i would allow...but the way he does...man! He really gets it. He's on everybody's side
"Give it to me straight, like pear cider that’s made from 100% pears" is my top Stewart Lee recommendation. 20 min long on youtube. Hope you get to see the clip at some stage.
You should deffo do more of his long sets. They are all very well crafted. Over the years he’s been refining his style/on stage character and at times he does go really deep into the act in a very committed way. He also had tv show which ran for a few series called “Comedy Vehicle” consisting of half hour standup routines.
He plays the part of an arrogant, self righteous comedian, that’s the character but also mostly what he thinks, that’s where folk get lost. It’s too subtle for many to get and that makes it funnier.
Stewart Lee is great! I don't know if you're aware, but the West End show he mentioned that he wrote was Jerry Springer - The Musical, starring David Soul of Starsky & Hutch fame playing Jerry Springer. It's well worth watching if you ever get the chance (unless you're easily offended, which I know you guys aren't).
It was the tv show with the most swear words per minute. I went to see it and there was a protest outside by religious nutters, odd because to get the best out of it you need a pretty good knowledge of christian dogma, and (spoilers) it's the dying fantasy of a secular Jew.
Stewart Lee is brilliant. I wouldn't say he's like Dave Chappelle though. If I had to equate him to someone, I'd say closer to Lenny Bruce, but even then there are major differences. Stewart Lee does some very experimental, on the edge, stuff that can be very hard to appreciate. One that comes to mind is about Rap singers where he uses this mechanism of repeating ad-nauseum the same thing for over 30 minutes. Really testing the patience of the audience. Almost like an experiment. That said, I think he's fantastic and he's in my top 5 of all time.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful....a 3 part extravaganza 👏👏👏. (You even appreciated the bits I know you didn't get! You don't have to do that guys, some of those references were very parochial!)
The Ang Lee stuff is true btw. He genuinely interviewed Ang Lee and made that joke thinking it would give the two of them a friendly common ground to build on, because they both have the surname 'Lee'. Ang Lee wrongly assumed Stewart was being racist and ended the interview.
Seeing as you're also very musical, Stewart Lee is also a massive music buff, he has a massive music collection, and has co-wrote a stage musical called 'Jerry Springer: The Opera' and wrote a documentary film called 'King Rocker' about a musician called Robert Lloyd who he loves.
The reason he's saying 9th of November is because we do the day first then the month. Only 12 days a year look the same in the UK and USA. 1/1 2/2 and so on.
You can't say "the N-word in the UK". But Stewart Lee can. People accept him as an intellectual, ethical person and broadly understand his use of it. He uses it in this show and he also used it on one of his BBC shows when talking about a political flyer that was distributed in his are when he was a kid. In both cases it is a quote from someone he is criticizing. I believe his reason in both cases is that he doesn't want to let those people off the hook, but choses to quote them full to hold them accountable for the ugliness of what they said. The person he was talking about - Ben Elton - was a co-creator of Black Adder and The Young Ones. He was on the circuit from the early days of the alternative comedy scene in the UK. That scene pretty much had a manifesto of rejecting the racism, sexism etc. the existed in comedy before and had very strong principles and ethics. Elton later abandoned those and became an object of disgust for many.
Stewart Lee can be a twat but the way he builds his narration, taking you nowhere near the point to suddenly bringing the whole thing together....utter genius.
@@Kevyc601 What do I mean by woke? Boring, deranged NPC lines read from the scripture of the church of woke. He has no opinions, his opinions are from the woke hive-mind. This act is literally written by Twitter bots with an array of flags (EU, and not British) and pronouns in their bios. That you too?
@@yorkshireplumbing Funny what you said is exactly what I thought you would say or maybe your just a bot.. I dunno..people like to hate people these days..Let people have there opinions don't box them in. Free love on the free love freeway.
