@@BedtimeStoriesChannel Ha, i'm subscribed to you, and here you are chatting about Stewart Lee's Pear Cider story, brilliant! It should have no bearing, but I like your channel even more now.
A lot of commentators seem to have missed the point of this which is that by going on a serious quiz show and answering questions about an obscure experimental jazz musician, Stewart Lee has finally produced a routine that Joe Pasquale won’t steal
Well yeah. That indeed might be as maybe. But in the final analyses you have to at lest concede that, he really has let him self go ..... don't you think? Like what they dud on top gear
McSuperfly101 Yeah, he has this sketch that says "If you say you are english in this country you will be arrested and thrown to jail" and Stewart Lee was making fun of that statement
You've seen him. You've seen him, haven't you? On the Masterminds... You've seen him. On the Masterminds, on the BBC. He goes on the Masterminds, doesn't he? He goes on the Masterminds and he sits down... He's on the Masterminds, sat down, and he answers questions, doesn't he? On the Masterminds... The Comedy Vehicles, as well. You'll have seen him. He's on the BBC, isn't he? On the Masterminds and in his Comedy Vehicles, on the BBC... He stands up, doesn't he, on the Comedy Vehicles? He stands up and, on that one, he doesn't do anything. He does nothing on that one, doesn't he? You've seen him, though. Doing nothing on the BBC. Stood up in his Comedy Vehicles... Sometimes he's sat down. Sometimes he's sat down with a guitar in his Comedy Vehicles, isn't he? Doing nothing, sat down with his guitar, in his Comedy Vehicles. And on Screenwipes. On the BBC, you'll see him. On Screenwipes, talking about Skins, on the Screenwipes on the BBC. You'll have seen him. Daily Politics... He's everywhere, isn't he now? He used to do things and say things about things that mattered, standing up and making points about Christianity, didn't he? He wasn't on the BBC then, was he? He was nowhere then. He used to do jokes, didn't he, while he was nowhere? Didn't he used to do jokes? Remember jokes? You all remember jokes. He used to do them, didn't he? Jokes and talking about things that mattered. Not now, though... Sitting down, doing nothing... Talking about Skins and jazz. Everywhere, on the BBC. You'll have seen him... Let himself go, hasn't he, as well?
That was hilarious. Stewart Lee is getting so dead pan, he's actually starting to look like a dead pan. I was almost convinced that it really was an episode of celebrity Mastermind until I realized that it was a subtle commentary about the complete futility of all knowledge.
Stewart didn't know which jazz standard the 2002 album "Ballads" contained two versions of. It didn't matter though. To him it was just a child's urine off an old man's face.
My favourite comedian talking (surprisingly) about my favourite avant-garde jazz guitarist (seriously). That is not something I expected to see but it brightened an otherwise already quite bright day ...
He's fantastic in this, but probably worth noting that celebrities only appear once, so they can pick the thing they know the most about. Regular (non-celebrity) contestants have to provide two or three specialist subjects in case they progress to further rounds. Hence there's a tendency to save the one you *really* know about for your semi-final or whatever, and read up on another one for your first round!
Stew was fast answering those questions, wasn’t he? Like lightning? As soon as John asked a question, he saw the window of opportunity and bodily hurled himself through
I've seen lots of interviews that Stewart Lee has done, read a fair amount of his newspaper columns and seen hundreds of his shows. and not once do I recall him even mentioning Derek Bailey and yet here he demonstrates and almost encyclopedic knowledge of him. it's almost unnerving in a way
Apparently him and Jim O'Rourke used to see each other all the time at Derek Bailey, etc. gigs when they were teenagers, and got to know each other as a result. Crazy small world!
I think the real problem there was that it was a mixed room. The front rows of the audience were getting it but not so the friends they had brought along. And Stu didn't have time to bring them along.
It was better when they did the general knowledge round. Because during the intermission, all the friends said ‘do you like this?’ and the fans said ‘yeah, we like it a lot’ and the friends said ‘oh, well we like it too then.’
I have only just seen this as an admirer of both Lee and Bailey. I have many albums featuring Bailey, have seen many of his collaborators live, but not him. Wait a minute; Derek Bailey played live in the ABC Theatre pit for The Morecambe and Wise Show? I was there; I have heard him live.
@nbachmann He was the greatest innovator on the electric guitar since Hendrix (he died in 2005). I saw him play live once in 2000. He was an elderly English guy with just a guitar and an amp and he blew the roof off the club.
Derek Bailey (29 January 1930 - 25 December 2005) was an English avant-garde guitarist and leading figure in the free improvisation movement. I can definitely see why Stewart Lee would be interested in him; he even shared Stewart Lee's love of short, pithy comebacks when interviewed.
Unfortunately for Stew the specialist subject of The Complete Lifes Work of Asher D had already been taken by the eventual series winner and Mastermind Grand Champion.. Tom O'Connor. The irony of losing to Tom by one point on the question "Which is the second largest island off the coast of Italy?" was a bit much.
That wasn't the question that won it for Tom O'Connor. The question was in fact "Name the traditional street festival snack of choice every year in Lisbon on January 19, the feast day of St Cuthbert, which is also a traditional summer delicacy throughout all of rural Portugal." Though I can see why you might have been confused.
I saw Derek Bailey perform in either late 1991 or early 1992 above a pub in Tib Street, Manchester. It was Jon the Postman's suggestion - his idea of a good night out. I've had worse evenings, I must admit. Chill vibe, nice crowd.
Impressive stuff. 11 years later and on Celebrity Mastermind one contestants specialist subject was the movie Pretty Woman. Talk about lowering the bar.
I just LOVE how so many commenters show excellent wit in the SL comedy vein. I was truly expecting a spoof -- it's so hard to take ANYTHING Stu says or does as serious. And at the end, still not sure if it was a spoof. Many say not, but we can never be sure with Stu.
@chrisofnottingham Derek Bailey was a guitar player from Sheffield who completely reinvented the way that the guitar is played. I saw him play live in Dublin, a few years before he died. A 70-year-old Yorkshireman sat with a Gibson ES-175 and blew the fucking roof off the joint. He was amazing.
General Knowledge round... Question 1: Where is the designated corpse-roasting lamppost? Question 2: What is the name of the thin, transparent strip part of the printer that can be used to print out labels to put on desks and stuff? I don't know if they still make them.
A cliched saucy-postcard cartoon rendering of a classic British butcher of the kind that might chase a sausage-stealing dog down the road whilst shaking his fist in anger has let himself go.
@@alexstorr3357 it’s moved from being funny to being contrived to being tedious and has now arrived back back at being funnier than it was originally. But I suppose I would say that
you up there wouldn’t really understand what he’s done. “Oh look there he is, making noises with his mouth.” Down here, they understand that I was answering questions concerning Derek Bailey deceased Yorkshire born jazz and improvisational guitar innovator, it’s clear to them. Up there, they’re saying, “now he’s finished making those noises….I wonder if he’ll make some more noises next.”
I am shocked I thought Stewart would have chosen Pear Cider .The first question from Humph being "What percentage of Pears are used to make Pear Cider ?"
Ok. How many here knew about Derek Bailey before this? How many went to look him up afterwards? How many think Stu's chosen topic is a troll upon Mastermind and viewers? How many admire the chutzpah of both Bailey and Lee for pushing the boundaries of their craft/art to absurdist perimeters?
If Stewart Lee were to have an accident which meant he lost his entire memory, he could recover every word of his routines merely by reading the comments to his RUclips videoes
What I would love to know is whether this is a subject he was always vaguely interested in, and had to mug up for like mad before the show - or whether he has a genuine lifelong passion for it. I'm always curious about how it is that people make their choice of specialist subject. I'd also love to have seen the whole show for the general knowledge rounds - his and the others taking part. All this - and he's the funniest man alive (as far as I'm concerned), married to/partnered with probably the funniest woman!
I would imagine he knew it all already. I’ve scored 12 s and fourteens on British motorcycles and British steam locomotives. Easy questions for a life long enthusiast of both.

They allow you to pick your own subject. Stewart seems to be one of the few who have understood what this means.
Not only that, but there are only 19 known facts about Bailey, and they all came up on this exam, so...
He's fantastic in this, but probably worth noting that celebrities only appear once, so they can pick the thing they know the most about.
