Stewart Lee at Leicester Square Theatre, WC2 ★★★★ - November 2014 The Times - By Alex Hardy - November 17th, 2014

It’s a set list you could hardly predict. First, there’ll be a section of Islamophobic comedy. Then, says Stewart Lee, “I’m going to talk exhaustively about urine for half an hour”. Of course. A Room with a Stew is labelled as work in progress, each block of material building towards an episode for the next…

Tricksy gags about liberals, rightwingers and ‘the Islams’ ★★★★ - November 2014 The Guardian - By Brian Logan - November 14th, 2014

The standup’s two-part set is, as ever, a rarefied viewing experience. You can take nothing at face value as he plays cat and mouse with the audience Stewart Lee recently defended comedy against the Nigel Farage charge that it’s in hock to left-liberal values. Now he’s out to disprove (not for the first time) the…

Stewart Lee Talks Islamophobia And Toilet Humour ★★★★ - November 2014 Londonist - By Will Noble - November 14th, 2014

Only Stewart Lee could make a 30-minute riff on urine so funny that it only feels like a 20 minute bit on urine. He issues forth a strong and steady flow of piddle-based humour, beginning with his traumatic baptism of piss at school, and climaxing with a payoff involving a urinal in Malta, some flies…

Stewart Lee interview: ‘Whether you think they’re right or wrong, UKIP is the funniest party at the moment’ - November 2014 Time Out - By Phil Harrison - November 7th, 2014

In an era of interchangeable panel-show perennials and observational blandness, the confrontational yet relentlessly hilarious Stewart Lee has never felt more vital. Since the mid-’90s – when, alongside Richard Herring, the Shropshire-born comic became a cult icon on BBC2’s ‘Fist of Fun’ and ‘This Morning with Richard Not Judy’ – Lee has been consistently iconoclastic.…

Laughing Point: Stewart Lee, Katherine Ryan & Josh Widdicombe thrill at charity gig - October 2014 Daily Star - By Nicole Morley - October 7th, 2014

Laughing Point – a branch of charitable organisation CentrePoint – hosted a sell-out show in London’s Palace Theatre to raise funds and awareness for London’s youth homelessness crisis. Hilariously deadpan Stewart Lee topped the evening’s line-up and any thoughts that he may be above toilet were soon flushed down the pan. Lee spent his entire…

Review: Daniel Kitson, Stewart Lee & More, Palace Theatre - October 2014 Beyond The Joke - By Bruce Dessau - October 7th, 2014

It is hard to believe but there have been mutterings of a Daniel Kitson backlash. His latest theatre piece, Analog.Ue was not greeted by the usual ecstatic reviews. Maybe – though I fully expect he would deny it – that is why he has been getting back to his first love of stand-up recently, compering…
