 Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle marks the return of arguably one of Britain's finest stand up comedians and shows him at his masterful and hilarious best. Each of the six episodes sees Stewart explore a different theme, in a stand-up routine illustrated with sketches featuring an ensemble cast of well known comic talent. In each episode Stewart sets out to answer a question that addresses a specific aspect of modern life; "Why", for example, "is there a tide of banal books in bookshops threatening to engulf us? Does the world really need celebrity hardbacks?" Stewart's on a journey to find out - and meets some interesting authors along the way. "Has political correctness really gone mad, or is it just that a lot of people confuse political correctness with health and safety legislation?" Stewart tries to pick his way through the PC minefield, and reveals how it only made him put on weight. Stewart sets out to discover the truth about popular television duo Ant and Dec, and visits a quaint English village where The Funniest Thing That's Ever Been On Television Ever has given rise to a unique rural tradition. Sort of. Whatever the topic, Stewart addresses it with razor sharp wit, using every argument at his disposal to convey his point. And you'l have learned something along the way (which may or may not be true). |

Time Trumpet is the satirical series that "looked back" on events of the first 30 years of the 21st century from the perspective of a nostalgia show in the year 2031. Actors and actresses played the parts of 'today's stars' thirty years on, as they looked back into the past (our near future), in Iannucci's usual surreal yet sensible style. |

Comedy mavericks
Go Faster Stripe shot the 90s Comedian show in 2006, and it’s
now available on DVD. I’m delighted to have the show available
and the team worked wonders with limited equipment. I’ll flog
these at gigs, or check
their website to get them, and please don’t bootleg them all
over the place. |

My
first DVD, a recording of the 2004 Edinburgh show, "Standup Comedian". |
'Welcome to my folly', declared Robin Ince as he opens Nine Lessons..., his massive sell-out Rationalist Celebration of comedy and science for Christmas. With a star-studded line-up included Richard Dawkins, Stewart Lee, Josie Long, Simon Singh, Richard Herring, Gavin Osbourne, Isy Suttie, Ben Goldacre, Andrew Collins, Waen Shepherd, Christina Martin and Philip Jeays - all accompanied by Martin White and his amazing Mystery Fax Machine Chamber Orchestra. What more could you ask for?.... Oh go on then, as it's Christmas there's also interview contributions from Dara O'Briain and Javis Cocker. |
