Stewart Lee – Carpet Remnant World - January 2012 Hammy (Not The Hamster)'s Blog - By Hammy (Not The Hamster) - January 5th, 2012

Last night my lovely girlfriend took me to see Stewart Lee in his new stand up show Carpet Remnant World at the Leicester Square Theatre. I’ve been a fan of Lee since I was very young, following his career from the days of Fist of Fun and This Morning with Richard not Judy, so was…

Stewart Lee – Carpet Remnant World - December 2011 Time Out - December 16th, 2011

A Stewart Lee show is always guaranteed to be one of the best of the year, and the ‘Comedy Vehicle’ star certainly didn’t disappoint with his latest offering.

As expected, the crowd that…
