”No one is equipped to review me” – Stewart Lee Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, written and performed by Stewart Lee himself, takes place in a small venue in London, and it’s basically a half hour stand-up set, cut back and forth between short sketches in the first season, and a hostile mock interview segment from…

Stewart Lee’s series offers rare fidelity to the “warts and all” of live comedy. - July 2016 popmatters.com - By Haran Sivapalan - July 5th, 2016
