Stewart Lee at the Nottingham Playhouse – Review - March 2017 Nottingham Post - By Sean Hewitt - March 15th, 2017

Content Provider, the latest show by coruscating stand-up Stewart Lee, seems at first to be simply more of the same thrillingly intelligent, intricately constructed comedy he’s been selling for more than 20 years.

Idler Interview - March 2017 The Idler - By Tom Hodgkinson - March 9th, 2017

Tom Hodgkinson meets the hard-working stand-up, still fighting for punk values. Through a mutual friend I booked an interview with Stewart Lee. I’d suggested a daytime slot, but he said, via email, that he wrote all day, then picked up his kids, then did his show in the evening. He is in the middle of…

Stewart Lee Review - March 2017 Brighton Source - By Sam Moffett - March 7th, 2017

Stewart Lee, Lighthouse, Poole - March 2017 Bournemouth Echo - By Cliff Moore - March 3rd, 2017

I had wanted to start this review with the old Bob Monkhouse gag: ‘Everyone laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian. They’re not laughing now’. This was because Lee was the knowingly intelligent, metropolitan liberal whose deep analysis of the method of comedy allied to strongly-held political views would simply lead to…
