Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury, 16th February 2015Review: 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. It is precisely this that allows him to bring the intimacy of small comedy club to an auditorium the size of the Lowry's main theatre. It is a trick he has already pulled off on the small screen.
Gareth Tidman, Manchester Evening News, 14th February 2015Review - 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.
