Press
"I assure you, within three minutes, on this television programme, on this stage, a Muslim will have been lampooned." Well, sort of. This is a Stewart Lee joint, after all: a safe space for a complicit audience well-versed in the man's ziggurats of irony and meta-commentaries of unending depths. This week, then: Islamophobia, a deft high-wire act, further riffing on everything from Quakerism to Dapper Laughs ("What kind of person gets dropped by ITV2? It's like being barred from a pub that's already on fire").
