Nihal Arthanayake speaks to Stewart Lee, his first guest in a new series of Headliners, featuring exclusive in-depth interviews.
Over the course of the conversation, Stewart touches on fatherhood and the joy of a profession that allows him to remain immature. He talks about the importance of an economy that supports creativity, finding a new audience via social media clips, and a premonition his 16-year-old self had in a field in Southern England.
