It's excellent stuff. Yes, I think perhaps there is a little of Lee in there, stylistically rather than comedically (people have been wrong-footing audiences and inverting stand up tropes long before Stew started having a shot, so I don't think the jokes are too similar to be allowed).
The bit that screamed SL to me was the repetition of "Scouse comic John Bishop", this sort of pseudo-Homeric adjectinymic* formula is pure Lee - and in this case, I felt it detracted from the joke, by taking the focus away from the word "bishop".
But anyway, it's great stuff, well done.
*Not strictly a word.
