Review: Lee Mack
Lee Mack tells stories of his life, like the best northern comedians, but it was the way he came up with killer lines in response to the crowd that showed off his true star quality.
Blackpool Gazette, 24th November 2014Lee Evans outsells Mrs. Brown in DVD charts
Lee Evans might have just announced his retirement - but his new live DVD has gone straight to the top of the comedy charts.
Chortle, 24th November 2014Stewart Lee, Leicester Square Theatre, review
He is, I think, the only comedian who can get away with deconstructing and critiquing his own routines as he goes along and not be repellent. He, and his material, are simply that good. And if there's a lingering sense that the joke is always a little on us, somehow that feels like a good thing.
Alice Jones, The Independent, 24th November 2014Stewart Lee: you ask the questions
As the comedian and occasional Observer columnist Stewart Lee prepares to tour his show A Room With a Stew, here's your chance to ask him anything you like.
Kathryn Bromwich, The Observer, 23rd November 2014Who else can do what Lee Evans does?
The expressive, elastic, inimitable comedian is retiring. I wish he'd consider a Lenny Henry-style reinvention instead.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 21st November 2014Thanks for the laughs, Lee Evans
"Should this retirement be permanent, we have lost a real hero of comedy."
Rob Gilroy, Giggle Beats, 21st November 2014Opinion: What I won't miss about Lee Evans
The trouble is that his observational humour that was actually quite pioneering back in the late eighties has become mainstream comedy currency. I'm not saying others do his schtick better, but the likes of Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre and Jason Manford all do it just as well. And if you really need someone to do the gags in a working class London accent there's always Micky Flanagan.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 21st November 2014Lee Evans: sweaty, knotty tour de force
He defined the modern comedy industry and broke records with his huge audiences. I suspect rumours of his retirement will prove greatly exaggerated.
Stephanie Merritt, The Guardian, 21st November 2014It's no joke being part of Stewart Lee's act
When comedians make critics the subject of their stand-up, it rarely ends well.
