Two sublimely subversive sets from “the world’s greatest living stand-up” - January 2022 DailyInfo.co.uk - By Gabrielle Brown - January 18th, 2022
Like most of us, Stewart Lee has been lying low for the last couple of years, but he’s re-emerged like a magnificent middle-aged butterfly, a little plumper and greyer yet manifestly galvanised by the cornucopia of material made available by recent worldwide events and movements. And, despite one critic’s observation that Lee’s audiences don’t laugh…
Rabble-rouser in chief - January 2022 The Critic - By Alexander Larman - January 5th, 2022
I’ve always rather liked Stewart Lee. He is one of those comedians who has plied his trade for decades, but without becoming stuck in a repetitive rut, unlike so many of his peers.

It was the UK’s most downloaded/purchased song on Brexit day, though Wham’s Last Christmas beat it in the streaming charts which are for losers. Thanks for buying it if you did.
Coronavirus Kent: Review of the last theatre show in Kent as venues shut due to the pandemic - March 2020 Kent Online - By Ed McConnell - March 17th, 2020
I phoned ahead to check the show was still on – it was only sensible given the Prime Minister’s ambiguous update earlier in the day. The woman who answered assured me it was, but in honesty didn’t seem entirely convinced herself. So, it was against this backdrop of impending doom that we travelled to Canterbury‘s…
