Review by owen-watts

Carpet Remnant World now sits as kind of... mid period Stew stand-up, there's a lot in here that's very strong, but there's a baggy amount of extensive crowd watching that only really works if you're in the room with him and can sense the atmosphere. It's a fantastic trick live but he overplays it here (or it could have been edited down). The whole concept is one about utopian visions gone to seed and middle-aged listlessness, some of it lands fantastically, some of it drifts off into nothing but there's a nicely unintentional "before the bad times" warmness to the whole thing and that he says he was inspired to film at the Lyceum due to his good reception there the time before (a show I was at) warms me cockles.
