★★★★ Brighton Dome - February 2017 Brighton Argus - By Jake Kennedy - February 27th, 2017

With a comedian as political as Stewart Lee, fans could have guessed Brexit and Trump would feature in his latest show, a rolling tour he admitted would evolve between now and next April. In fact, he complained, today’s fast changing world makes comedy somewhat difficult to pin down. So, although both these topics were covered…

Stewart Lee: Content Provider - February 2017 FringeReview - By Tom Beesley - February 26th, 2017

Ok, so first things first: I absolutely love Stewart Lee. I am the absolute embodiment of the repeat, loyal audience member he talks about in every show.

Opening with an exploration of Caspar David Friedrich’s painting Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog, in reference to man in the age of digital consumption, in classic SL style this quickly blurs into an ocean of things that the show is not supposed to be…

Content Provider, De Montfort Hall - February 2017 Leicester Mercury - By Josh Coyne - February 10th, 2017

On the opening night of the Leicester Comedy Festival, a smattering of empty seats can be seen as Stewart Lee takes to the stage of De Montfort Hall. The absentees do not go unnoticed. The faux-embittered comedic juggernaut seems displeased that he failed to sell out the first of two Leicester dates and he is…
