Loved his latest column in the Guardian this week. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/29/out-with-pub-bores-back-in-with-the-experts Especially: and this Best comic on the circuit by a country mile. Don't necessarily agree with all his politics but who wants to listen to stuff they agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shows sell out instantly, so very hard to get to see him. I've seen him three times and every one was a work of genius. I was due to see Stewart Lee again next month, goodness knows when that will be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him every year for pretty much the last ten having been familiar with his 80s work with Richard Herring.

The bits I've found tend to be short routines from comedy festivals, they don't do him justice. I think there's a clip out there of him talking to Stewart Lee on his radio show. If you do get chance to see him on the other side grab it. He does do a fair few charity shows in that there London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's my age, maybe I just don't appreciate modern day comedy, maybe I'm just a miserable old sod, but I never even managed a smile in the first 5 minutes. At least I know who he is now. I'd honestly never heard of him, or t'other bloke that someone mentioned. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much modern comedy though - he's been on the circuit for over 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
