Stewart Lee review
A show which is outstandingly funny, and the work of a master of comedy who is truly back on his very best form.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 5th December 2019Top 10 books about comedy
Biographies, autobiographies, episode guides, script anthologies, tie-in books - my thirst for writing about comedy takes in the lot, so I've chosen not to differentiate between them. They're all of a piece, adding to our understanding and appreciation of the art.
Louis Barfe, The Guardian, 4th December 2019Review: Stewart Lee, Leicester Square Theatre, London
The stand-up's new show tears into Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr, Fleabag and himself.
Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times, 1st December 2019Stewart Lee: Tornado/Snowflake, review
There's so much comedy packed in that one could almost miss the deeper layers.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 19th November 2019Stewart Lee review
Comedic tornado blows hot and cold.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 8th November 2019Stewart Lee review: Waller-Bridge in the firing line
Has he jumped the shark? Fortunately for us he is no physical shape to jump over anything.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 8th November 2019Review - Stewart Lee: Snowflake/Tornado
Although the broad sweeps of Lee's work take in familiar liberal arguments, there's a weight and a detail that provides substantial food for thought. As with so much of his work, it's the sort of comedy that you'll recall days or weeks after the gig as situations he describes re-present themselves. Or if you sit down for some shark-based movie action.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 8th November 2019Review - Stewart Lee, Snowflake/Tornado
I did actually enjoy Snowflake quite a lot - but then I would, I'm a fan of Lee's, and in many ways he's still a remarkable comedian. But to put the whole night in vinyl terms, the first half was full of bangers, the second faded out.
Paul Fleckney, London Is Funny, 8th November 2019Stewart Lee: Tornado / Snowflake review
With typical deftness, the stand-up has made his scintillating two-part show a hymn to political correctness and a giddy attack on lefty sensibilities.
