The Comedian's Comedian - 200 - Stewart Lee 

Wish he could be more like Tom O’Connor

Stewart's comments on venue size, and ticket price etc. is bang on. He's right... the experience is better, and more intimate, in a smaller venue. And it's highly likely you'll want to go again, and bring a friend*. *who probably won't understand what's going on and won't find it funny.

Stewart Lee is one of the very few comedians that unites the left and right. Comedy at its best mocks all of us, and ( unlike 95% of the comics) his politics is no obstacle to one half of the population still loving,laughing along with him. An original genius.

My all time favourite comedian. Thanks for providing this content. I've let myself go.

This is great, thanks Stuart!

Reading these comments, I can now fully appreciate why Stewart thinks his audience is beneath him.

What's Ratko Mladic doing on this?

I keep bumping into Stewart Lee. The last time was in Camden Town just after Id let myself go.

I remember days under Thatcher when jungle canyon rope bridges were non existent...Tory cuts.

Glad to see General Ratko Mladić has turned his life around.

so meta, the comedian's comedian stewart (lee) interviewed on a podcast called the comedian's comedian by a bloke called stuart...

Great interview, many thanks

This is a great interview, thanks.

40:56 The first time I saw Sadowitz I literally fell off my chair laughing, and rolled around some before I could get back up. I was actually incapacitated with laughter. But it wasn't "funny". It was subjectively repugnant, it was fearlessly and robustly offensive right across the board, and it was delivered in a non stop stream of pure, unadulterated vitriol that truly was a thing to behold. And the strange thing was, he didn't alienate the audience at all, because by the time you realise you've been in insulted in ways you always like to think you'd respond to with evisceration, he's moved on to someone else. It was completely brutal, wholly offensive, slanderous even, uncompromisingly graphic and lurid. And its the only time that I ever felt I'd literaly split my sides laughing. (I cracked a rib in fact, falling off my stool.) It was out the other side of funny, but it took a deep, dark dive to get there. And he's such a fucking *purist* he doesn't record anything, and relentlessly takes any of his material down on you tube. Very much a "live" act. As in if you want to see him, you have to go and see him. Ever so good, he's Ebenezer Goode.

Just found this interview and it's really great. You asked Stew the deeper questions about his work that I'd like to think I'd have asked, the best interview of his I've heard.

terrific interview. well researched, you could tell stew engaged you.

Just come across this and some of your other stuff. And actually its bloody good. Keep this up because theres not enough like it and studying writers like me really treasure this kind of work and I can't thank you enough for existing. Going to buy the book now as it happens. Cheers.

William Shatner has let himself go.

We live in a world where a talented genius like S.L aims to use it all to pay his bills just before he dies. An Authentic life does not pay.

Terrific interview. I also like how Stuart Goldsmith's laugh sounds like The Wicked Witch pitched down an octave.

Ali Campbell's let himself go.

I listened to all of this Podcast - it was great :) xx BTW I've met Stewart Lee Twice and think he's got it

Stewart Lee always makes me think, then laugh, then ponder on life.... and today laugh out loud at the comments (??? let himself go ) lmfao..

Brilliant

Max from Hart to Hart is looking good

I recommend "letting yourself go" periodically, Stewart Lee is a hero who has pushed this to his "elastic limit". Can't wait until he reaches his " plastic limit".

Is there still a comedy tent at Glastonbury festival? Thought I knew just about all of it (having gone 15 odd times) - and still not even _beginning_ to get bored by it. :D

Very happy to find your Podcas ats. Stewart Lee is almost certainly my favourite stand up comic. You asked some very insightful and refreshing questions. Although one question I'd like to ask Stewart is, "Is he a fan of I, Ludicrous?"

I thought Kim Jong Nam was dead!

Terry Christian has aged well

You are the best Stuw and you made the audience a character.

Class

Everyone can start to look a like as you age . After moving away from my home town I found myself letting on to people I thought I knew just because they looked like someone I knew from home. There's about 7 face types and put in the famous off the telly and you find yourself mistaking Selwyn froggit look a like as an old friend in tescos

Dawn French has let himself go.

Sting has let himself go .

Jimmy krankie has let himself go

1 hour 4 minutes in Goldsmiths references Lee having his cake and eating it, having his cake and eating it, having his cake and eating it. Lee has been doing a lot of that lately. I think that why he's let himself go a bit :)

Thing is with Morrissey, he takes himself quite seriously. I for one have never found him very funny.

Charlie Chuck has really let himself go. Congrats on the 200 Stu. Heard perhaps 180 of them. Glad I didn't subscribe to the pound a show idea in the early days.

Are you Terry Christian?

David Cameron -and "The Vet -Cameron" have let themselves go. Or so I assume. Have not seen either of late.

Terry Christian has let himself go.

I feel I’ve let myself go

Stewart Lee is a great comedian,, his fans are the the most unimaginative, don’t they realise that all jokes when repeated ad nauseum become unfunny?

A discarded polystyrene cup has let himself go

That Toby jug has let itself go. Good to listen to. Although you don't have to start every question by giving a little anecdote about your personal life. When Stewart is going "Yeah, yeah.....yeah, yeah, yeah." He's waiting for you to shut up about your personal experience and ask him the question which, because you've talked about it for so long, he knows exactly what it's going to be and is ready to answer. "Stuart you were on Fist of Fun and I remember watching that with my cousins, I was talking to my cousin about a year ago about this actually and blah, blah, blah..." Still good to listen to though.

Morrissey's let himself go.

Apt that he's the 200th comedian to be interviewed, as all things considered, he's dropped from 41st best comedian to 200th. There's lots better than him. And funnier and more attractive thanks

Pointless with so many recorded gigs on youtube.

Not as funny as some gas that smells of shit.

Oh look, KD Lang has let herself go
