Review: Stewart Lee At The Lowry, Salford Quays ★★★★★ - May 2015 SalfordOnline.com - By Dane Yates - May 18th, 2015

Lee returned to The Lowry as an extra date in the midst a mammoth year long tour, something which would see most panel-show comedians gushing with gratitude for the requirement of an extra night. Not Lee. He instead started out by berating the audience for not booking their tickets earlier at part of the “proper…

REVIEW: Stewart Lee at The Lowry - May 2015 The Bolton News - By Andrew Bardsley - May 17th, 2015

During his show at a packed Lyric Theatre in The Lowry, Stewart Lee says no-one is equipped to review his unique brand of comedy. He may well be right, but I will let you be the judge of that at the end of this attempt. It is a fairly difficult task, as Lee is certainly…

Room with a Stew, Colston Hall ★★★★★ - April 2015 The Bristol Post - By Ken McCormick - April 26th, 2015

STEWART Lee likes to give his audiences a hard time. From the people in the balcony – always more stupid and less committed than those in the stalls – to anyone who laughs at the wrong bit, verbally slapping his paying public about a bit is a regular ice-breaker in his shows. But tonight he’s…

Review: Stewart Lee, Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham - March 2015 Nottingham Post - By Sean Hewitt - March 27th, 2015

“No one is equipped to review me,” said Stewart Lee towards the end of a comedy masterclass that pushed the audience at a packed Royal Concert Hall to the limit. He was joking, obviously. Well, I think he was. And that sums up the tightrope he walked throughout his lengthy show (he came on just…
