David Lister, The Independent, 7th May 2011TV review: Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle
Crisp tasty and easily ruffled.
R. Green, Comedy Critic, 6th May 2011Stewart Lee: "I've got plenty of jokes..."
Perhaps our greatest living Comedian, here Stewart Lee talks about why he gave up stand-up, how he hates being told what to feel, the presentation of comedy and that, despite what some hecklers say, he's got more jokes than you can shake your fist at...
Tony Moon, Sabotage Times, 6th May 2011'Stewart's Lee Comedy Vehicle' 2.1 - "Charity"
If a comedian draws attention to their unique style of avoiding traditionally-constructed "jokes", does this make them immune to complaints they're still not very funny?
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 6th May 2011Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, BBC Two
One of the great pleasures of being a critic is watching a career develop, and Stewart Lee's is one that I've had the pleasure of, so to speak, for many years. I'm not a Stewart Lee completist but I enjoyed his early days on television with comedy partner Richard Herring in Fist of Fun (just about to be released on DVD for the first time) and This Morning With Richard Not Judy, his solo stand-up shows, his work on the wonderfully subversive Jerry Springer: The Opera and much, much more in between.

Mayer Nissim, Digital Spy, 4th May 2011Stewart Lee ('Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle')
It was with some glee (and no little surprise) that we at DS welcomed the news that Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle had been given a second series. He may have been proclaimed the 41st Best Stand-Up Ever in 2007, but we'd struggle to name many comics we'd rather see on stage than him. Before his show returns tonight, we spoke to Stewart about his new late-night TV slot, why Channel 4 are "moronic cynics" and the long-awaited DVD release of his and Richard Herring's '90s classic Fist of Fun.
