Review: March of the Lemmings by Stewart Lee

In the preamble to this collection of the astringently sour articles that he's written since the referendum, the comedian admits he's deepeningly cynical and depressed about the whole process. And let's face it, his persona was never Mr Sunshine in the first place.

Ben Elton v Stewart Lee

One particular remark in the interview has caught some people's attention. When he starts talking about always being questioned about being a sell-out he responds by saying: "I haven't said anything for 30 years. But it's been wearying. It just keeps coming around, every interview - 'So do you feel you've sold out?' Tell me what - apart from that Stewart Lee, whoever he is, thinks I have - might make you ask that?" People on social media have been wondering if this was a wry ironic joke or does Ben Elton really not know who Stewart Lee is?
