Stewart Lee in Montreal 

In my opinion Stewart Lee is the most underated comedian who has ever let himself go.

My left ear has let itself go

It's interesting because the day after Diana died I saw Richard Herring on his way to Kensington palace with a life size inflatable E.T under his arm.

In my opinion Stewart Lee is on of the most underrated British Stand Up Comics we have.

He absolutely nailed that start to finish. Perfection.

The left side audio channel has let itself go.

The way he delivered the line "I'd better go and get a life-size model of ET then" always think it could have been funnier if he'd continued the somber and quiet delivery, and dragged that scene out, perhaps even extending it for longer.

I love him, watched the reworked 2005 Diana bit yesterday and everything hurt because I laughed so hard. Never saw a stand-up act like his and this pace adds so much to it.

I've only just discovered Stewart Lee and that whole ET bit was one of my hardest laughs. I haven't laughed like that in a long time.

like all his material he has refined and improved this material to perfection. and it was briliant to start with. other comedians need to raise their game

"We don't wanna be the only people that don't put one there!" Love it!

Unparalleled in content, structure and delivery

that bloke from the cure is looking a bit better.

My bladder has let itself go

One of the greatest to have ever done it.

This is some of the smartest comedy I have ever heard.

god I love this man

Cheers for this, first time I've seen it. Cool to see the way he changed it to the more recent version. The Dylan of stand up. Except when he evolves something it doesn't get worse.

Thank you 🤗

2024 and Stewart Lee still gives it to us straight.

Fun fact: Stewart Lee is my closest friend, someone who has helped me on many occasions through some very dark episodes. One day I hope to meet him so I can tell him. He wouldn't like me though, but that wouldn't matter... nobody likes me anyway. Perhaps he would at first think me merely another fawning sycophant from the West Midlands... but its more than that, I am not just a fan, because I honesty feel that my missing hair has been living vicariously through Stewart Lee for the last eleven years.

The financial director of Tesco's transportation management department in Sloud has let himself go.

Isn't that General Ratko Mladic?

Even back then Stewart had honed his style of sardonic humour IMHO one of the best stand-ups to come out of the UK

Outstanding

My God, it's Roland Gift at an age when he would be described later in life as "a young Roland Gift"! He's since let himself go.

1:03 the auditory equivalent of suddenly stepping out of Flatland into the third dimension

In the 90s sound only existed in mono. Its not the Serbian warlord's fault.

the former drug addict turned youth drug counseller that came to my school in 1997 to give us a talk about the dangers of drugs has let himself go

i love that he can spin 5 minutes of material out of one joke :D

This is sheer fucking brilliance!

brilliance

Fantastic !

I'm an American, and a comedian, and was told about Steward a week ago. That's way too late for my taste. Stewart Lee is fan-f*ckin'-tastic.

Toned down for a Canadian audience but still so damn brilliant. He's not the funniest comedian in the world but no one makes me _think_ like Lee makes me think and for that I thank him.

yeah he is brilliant

oh my god he was good looking

messes about the form better than anyone else

Stewart Lee (c.1998) I think it's a set at _Just For Laughs_ . Too bad there isn't the full episode so we can index it.

I am not ashamed to admit that I, together with my wife and daughter placed the ET toy as a tribute to our Queen of Hearts. We bought flowers to place by the gate and my daughter, Emily said she wished to give her favourite toy. This, at the time was her most loved possession. It sat at the end of her bed and gave solace when she had bad dreams. To her, the gift of her protector was as heartfelt as any bouquet. To see Stuart Lee ridicule a child's gift, makes my heart weep. If you were a decent human being, you would hang your sorry head in shame.

@InfiniteArguments Your so right, Ive seen him live a couple of times live and I just sit there and laugh constantly - its always so absurd what you witness.

i know this because of Stewart Lee

LOL this is brilliant - and new to me! love it!

Morrissey is that you?

In Montreal he gets called Le Stewart

comedy genius :-)

This younger, slimmer version of Stewart Lee is proof that he is the 41st best comedian to suffer middle aged spread.

I agree but hes still funny in this. Cant wait for "41st Best Comedian" to come out on DVD at the end of July. Saw the show live 3 times and he just gets funnier each time.

The man speaks the truth, It's his delivery thats funny

A+

hes so beautiful

He mic diddles with the best of 'em!

brilliant

I can't concentrate captain my left ear 👂 is going to make it!

Interesting to see the evolution of that Diana joke.

Looks so young!

Laika has let herself go.

Stewart Lee. You’ve seen him. He’s at erm …. Montreal. You’ve seen him. By the corn exchange.

its a reference to his material about frankie boyle and being 40. its in the related vids, watch it

17 people left inflatable aliens at Diana's home

The badger from Bodger and Badger has really let himself go

You said it!

It's almost like watching Lee Mack. So many jokes per minute here. He should be on Mock the Week or Live at the Apollo.

Richard Hammond's boyhood library monitor has let himself go

Give it to me straight like a %100 life size inflatable model of E.T., has let its-ALF go.

hes sooo cute n handsome

Terry Christian has smartened himself up.

Very funny guy! I heard his suitcase was lost in transit and he had to borrow shoes and a shirt from the theatre's six foot six caretaker.

Seen the same Terry Christian post twice now. Do you do it on all Lee's videos? If not, you should. It's funny.

Ha, very good. Loved that one. :)

I thought K.D.Lang lived in Argentina now?

The bloke who out to do meditational relaxation tapes almost exclusively in my right ear has let himself go

Imo Stewart Lee is one of the comics to come out of solihull in the last amount of time.

...you've seen them....on...the ...top of the pops........in the adverts........they run along the .err...bannister........doesn't matter......near the corn exchange.....yeah those rap singers...

"Once you were a beautiful boy. Now your breasts are larger than mine." - Bridget Christie, 2018.

He did a similar sketch right after 911. Using truly awful events like these as vehicles for humour is teetering on career suicide. Yet, he manages to pull it off without apparent offence. Very brave.

You've let me go, you've let everyone in the audience go, but most of all, you've let yourself go.

A set of statements about the geodesic completeness of Riemannian manifolds has really let itself go.

whatever happened to Morrisey

yeah!

Oh look, this man in the red shirt performing in Montreal nearly twenty years ago has let himself go

Do you mean the rap singers? By the corn exchange?

going for the morrisey look there!

stew is a jenius

Goldeneye 007 has let himself go

Stewart Lee has let himself go

This is very strange as I saw Joe Pasquale in the early 2000s and I swear he did the Diana/E.T. joke!

yes it is. nice observation.

@ShaolinPete montreal is in canada.

I wish more Americans, like myself, knew about Lee and could see this old clip so that more of us could have the chance to be upset and insulted by him as he makes fun of Jesus and E.T. to a French-speaking Canadian audience! That's like a Triple Double in Chess.

Wasn't John Denver one of the first Existentialists?

Not only has Stewart Lee let me down he has let E.T. down

@missleahchloe This is from a decade ago. It was only uploaded in 2011. John Denver died in 1997, apparently.

@ShaolinPete Not sure if troll, or unsure where Montreal is...

@jimdaw65 Outside the corn exchange?

The funny thing is, ET porn exists. Check it out on efukt!!

E.T has let himself go

The Rt. Hon Sir John Spudgewick has fairly let himself go.

You can tell how his material and delivery changes to cater for north american audiences

graeme le saux's let himself go
