Stewart Lee: Leicester Comedy Festival review

For a few seconds, I genuinely thought he was having a breakdown.

Review: Stewart Lee @ The Lowry Theatre, Salford

Despite the appearance of a rambling, emotive tirade, it is the precision planning and comedic craft that is the key to his success.

Review - Stewart Lee: A Room With A Stew - Salford

Lee's comedy is all about context. He works within a framework of self constructed hypocrisy that has allowed him to create his own genre of stand-up comedy. His art of deconstruction is sublime.

Review: Stewart Lee

Not only did he provide the belly laughs, there was a catharsis in seeing someone like Lee plot a skilful course through some of the hottest topics of our times.
