Cambridge Corn Exchange: review - February 2016 Cambridge News - By Tom Stocks - February 3rd, 2016

A Room With a Stew certainly isn’t a show for anyone who thinks that they themselves couldn’t spend an hour Googling “commonly mistaken song lyrics” and still come up with a better live show than Peter Kay has managed in the last two decades. You have to concentrate to keep up with Stewart Lee, and…

Stewart Lee at Bath’s Theatre Royal - January 2016 Bath Gazette - By Matty Airey - January 29th, 2016

STEWART Lee gigs remind me of visits to my cousins’ house when I was little. My cousins were unkempt country boys, who had out of control hair and socks that were falling off their feet. They were older and naughtier than me and my sister, and showed very little interest in us. But they did…

On England, comedy, Islamophobia and being politically correct - January 2016 Madamasr.com Blog - January 19th, 2016

A few days before the end of the England trip, we managed to watch A Room with a Stew by Stewart Lee, a comedian my wife’s family, who the UK Border Agency hadn’t wanted me to see, gave me the gift of knowing about. Truth is, the hour and a half I spent watching Stew was…
