The Sun, 14th April 2016TV: Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, BBC2 - Childhood
There was a point during Stewart Lee's final Comedy Vehicle when I thought I could see the cogs moving. I thought I'd cracked it and knew what he was doing. And then he went and pulled the rug and dismantled the comedy process further, going out in excellent style. I'm not sure if we should be analysing this show though. As he persists in saying to speccy interrogator Chris Morris, De-Niro-in-Deer-Hunter style, "this is this".
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 7th April 2016Brawl breaks out at Nottingham's Glee Club
A brawl broke out at Nottingham's Glee Club - after a heckler slammed a comedian for telling jokes about paedophiles and ISIS. Roger Monkhouse was the last act to take to the stage on Friday, March 25, during the Canal Street venue's The Best in Live Stand-up Comedy event.
Nottingham Post, 1st April 2016Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, BBC2, episode 4.5 preview
One thing in particular intrigues me about Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. It felt as if he was doing warm-ups and works-in-progress for this series for at least a year in advance around the UK. I assumed that this was to get every phrase, every comma, every pause in the right place. And then along comes episode 5 and, unless he is pulling the wool over the liberal intelligentsia's eyes and engages plants and stooges like a hack magician, he frequently seems to be winging it here.

Lee is the only comedian who thoroughly critiques his act as he is doing it, and then critiques the critique.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 25th March 2016Lee Kyle: 10 things I'm worried about
I worry about things. I didn't worry about things in the past, but since I started doing stand up comedy I've developed a number of wonderful neurosis. Thanks comedy! Anyway, I'm doing a new show at The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle on 3 April and I'm worried about it. The worries are manifold; here are ten of them...
Lee Kyle, Giggle Beats, 25th March 2016Preview: Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, episode 4.4
Conspiracy theorists can have a field day with the fact that in some places episode four was billed as The Migrant Crisis. In fact our stand-up sage-cum-holy-fool is here to guide us through his thoughts on death this time. Did it change or did someone get it wrong? More pertinently, however, the show is a return to top form after a spot of water-treading last week.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 24th March 2016John Cleese hits out at 'Faulty' show
John Cleese has hit out at Faulty Towers The Dining Experience, the unofficial homage to the legendary TV series written by Cleese and Connie Booth. In an interview he has talked about taking legal action.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd March 2016John Cleese introduces new Basil Fawlty for live show
John Cleese has finally introduced to the world the new Basil Fawlty. Stephen Hall will be the filling the shoes John made famous in Fawlty Towers, and to be honest, he seems like a good replacement if these press shots are anything to go by. Hall is a well-known funny face in Australia, where the live stage show of the classic BBC comedy series will enjoy its world premiere this August.
Hanna Flint, Metro, 22nd March 2016Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle preview - Patriotsm
The most interesting point Stewart Lee makes in the third episode of his current series, subtitled 'Patriotism', comes at the start when he talks about the biggest problem the modern satirist faces. The news is in such flux, says Lee, it is hard to get a handle on it for comedy. And if Lee is having that problem, spare a thought for lesser mortals out there trying to monetize their social commentary.
