Stuart Lee's therapist recently wrote a book which included a chapter on Lee. It was quite controversial because it broke the confidentiality between patient and therapist. Apparently Lee has released all cognitive, conative or affective representations of his own identity. In other words, the therapist continued, and in the parlance of psychotherapy, Stuart Lee has let his self go.

This is great. Thanks for recording it. I've seen Stewart live a number of times but this is the first time I've seen him outside "the Character". Very entertaining and illuminating.
Actually really interesting/insightful interview. Good to hear, as a creative person, that there’s no shame in abandoning traditional routes to success if they’re just not compatible with what you do/make. I know a lot of people who could learn from that.
Cali Braxus it’s interesting that you should ask that, because I should imagine the nice black one would be ok with the way Stewart has let himself go, whereas the mad Irish one wouldn’t stand for his nonsense and would punch him.

KG 1 _'Hindenburg',_ a German Luftwaffe squadron that conducted operations against Poland, the Soviet Union and the Italian theatre from September 1939 to August 1944, mainly with the Junkers Ju 88 multirole plane and the trouble-prone Heinkel 177 strategic bomber, has let itself go. Note that Stewart's two 24-cylinder Daimler- Benz DB 610 piston engines overheat badly during this interview.
Anyone remember Screaming Blue Murder at The Mitre Pub Hampton Court Bridge, I wish I had filmed them like they said. We used to leave with our cheeks aching so much from laughing, happier times. Thanks to these guys bravery to get up there....what a gift Mr Lee has, we all let ourselves go 😉
Ah, fuck off, weaklings, I couldn't watch it even before I knew it existed. Seriously, though, if you came for Stewart Lee, you would've stayed. But you came for entertainment, and, apparently, Jamali ruined it for you because of your extreme intolerance of his speech patterns, so you missed loads of good stuff, especially the mentions of comedians that inspired Lee.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so irritating. I can't sleep now, my knuckles are itching, my arsehole burns, I'm kicking kids for laughing too loud, can't even watch RUclips, because PTSD kicks in immediately.
Alienating the public in such a way that at the end they leave the gig feeling at the same time vulnerable, hurt, embarrassed, with an overwhelming feeling that they discovered something exceptional, exited, with a sense of self worth……as long as public is not offended by the performance, every other reaction, even anger, means that it was good!
I sincerely hope that this was broadcasted live on the radio and Stew had grown a beard exclusively for the show, which he'd thought wouldn't be filmed. Classic Stewart Lee!
Keith Chegwin has let himself go.... Jamali is great. Never seen him before and it's nice to see a young comic who knows his comedy history. He does a good interview here. He's great.
Quite cool facial hair; at least it’s better than mine. There’s IQ with Lee, of course that’s obvious. Never forget the intensity of tension of a set Lee did that repeated itself over and over before a live audience. I was sweating almost as much as he was. Brave.
Stewart Lee should at least be in the top ten best comedians not not sitting at 41. Although even then Im buggered if I can think of 9 comedians who are better. Or one Even. ✌🏽
Thank you! I really enjoyed this. I now live in Cambodia and really need this kind of stuff. Stewert is not a hero of mine but he's getting very close indeed.

This sounds a lot like a joke Lee would have told. If this is yours, then well done.
This is gold. Well done.

I saw Stewart Lee standing in the cemetery in Stoke Newington, staring at the comedy graves. He looked fat & depressed.
And fat.
Maybe he was contemplating his demise?
