Stewart Lee’s Complete Vegetable Stew - May 2011 Morning Star - By Jack Carr - May 31st, 2011

In what seems like an act of closure on his 30 year career as it stands, Stewart Lee has crushed selected material into a three-hour evening in what could easily be termed a binge. As usual with Lee there are many levels to this show, which describes a considered arc from some of his most…

Stewart Lee – The Complete Vegetable Stew. - May 2011 Asheq.co.uk - By Ash in Art - May 28th, 2011

There’s no doubt that my favourite, living British comedian is Stewart Lee. Last night, he played to almost 2,200 people at the Royal Festival Hall. Having seen Lee a few times now, this was easily the largest crowd I’ve seen him perform to. Introduced by Armando Iannucci, The Complete Vegetable Stew lasted 3hrs 45mins (including…

Vegetable Stew, Leicester Square Theatre ★★★ - December 2010 The Telegraph - By Dominic Cavendish - December 7th, 2010

His perfectionism is much-loved, but there’s only so much antipathy or disdain an audience can stomach. Watching Stewart Lee in action these days is like standing on the edge of a frozen lake and seeing a man half-submerged in the perishing ice. You throw him a rope – but he hurls it back. You didn’t…
