Stewart Lee: Content Provider

Definitely my favourite Stewart Lee special of the three I've watched so far.

He goes nuts in the second half and turns into some kind of gloriously awkward performance art where I was almost in tears laughing.

The first half had me worried for a while, as there were many similarities to another special of his, Carpet Remnant World, but it things get brought home in the final stretch.

The weird mockumentary interludes were pretty amusing too.

Maybe I'm starting to "get" Stewart Lee, or maybe I'm just laughing at the broadest stuff, I don't know 😅

I can say, though, that parts of this would make up the funniest standup in years- maybe since I discovered Bo Burnham in all honesty.

I was lucky enough to see this live. Not in Southend where this was filmed but in London where many metropolitan liberal elite people live. Watching Stewart Lee will increase your metropolitan liberal eliteness no end.

Stewart Lee is an intellectual powerhouse of a comedian. He plays with the audience in a masterful, arrogant and mischievous way to great comic effect. It's like being tickled with a big brain but less slimy.

Unparalleled.

He has, however, let himself go.

He panders to audience who laughs at his jokes by making them feel intelligent and tells people who doesn't laugh they don't understands his brilliance more than few times in first half. Forced my self to watch it for 50 mins. Saying same sentence 10 times and getting laugh from same people who are proud to understand the joke but doesn't care if its funny. I totally agree with his description of the show ''pretentious metatextual self-aware shit''. Are you the type of person feels good for getting the joke that you think others doesn't. Well this is for you. Very british. (sorry for bad english)

The cliche is true, if you get Stewart Lee, if you actually see what an incredible mind/talent he is, you cannot fully enjoy other stand-ups. If this is your first viewing of Stewart Lee, I envy you because you have so much of the old stuff to go back and discover. This show is fantastic, it ticks all the right boxes for any Stewart Lee fans, I would be hard pushed to find a favourite amongst his back catalogue, each set has something unique to offer, even if some of the quirks of his stage "persona" become familiar to you, that's what's so good about it. Highly recommended. Any Stewart Lee fan knows that already, the elitist liberal elite are a lucky bunch indeed.

I love Stewart Lee. This was the third time I'd seen him live. Somehow topping the previous shows.
