Saw him recently doing Tornado/Snowflake. 2.5 hours of the best stand up I have ever seen. I get that he is an acquired taste but for me there is no better comedian.
If there weren't already enough reasons to despise living in America, the high unlikelihood of ever getting to see Stew live really puts the icing on the fudge abortion clinic.
He fucked up my comedic taste. I wrote a short routine similar in style to Lee's approach just to fuck with the audience and get used to silence without getting stressed the fuck out... They laughed...
I was at this recording, at some scuffed-armchair working men's club in Stoke Newington. Queued for hours, but the room was full, so we could only get into the ballroom upstairs (where Stewart Lee wasn't). We watched him streaming (no pun intended) from a big projector screen. Basically I watched this RUclips video live, only I was 20 feet from the screen and had to pay £5.20 a pint (in 2015!) for the privilege. Still, I wasn't upset. It didn't affect me in the slightest. I wish there were an idiom for such a situation.

That's true. I do find Ricky Gervais funny I'll admit that, but it's not funny on the same level as Stewart Lee. Ricky Gervais is funny because he is brazen and has no fear, Stewart Lee is funny because he's thoughtful and has no fear. I prefer Stewart Lee over any comedian, but I still find other people funny.
Totally agree, I was going to write basically the same comment. So instead I wrote a little true story of being at a gig of his a couple of years ago. P E A C E : )
What is interesting about this show is that by the 4th series, Lee had won awards for this series, which had a big impact on his life. So the front rows were likely filled with 'liggers', i.e. people who got front row seats from people they knew at the BBC, maybe some BBC execs. And many of them (About 6 or 7 of 12 - mostly middle-aged, middle class men) barely laughed and never clapped during this entire show. I think Lee called them out as he knew this was his last series for the BBC. I suspect he planned this from series 3, where he was much more unhinged and extreme, and as a result I think he didn't get renewed for a season 5. I know he got a two season deal after the huge success of season 2 because he talked about it in interviews. But clearly season 5 didn't happen. Why? Perhaps due to the unrealistic demands of the BBC. So he seemed to run out of good material for season 3 due to endless touring (Carpet Remnant World) which made series 3 weird as he couldn't re-use all of that material - some of it comes up in S2 and S3. But S3 seemed rushed and almost improvised, even if there were great moments. Because the BBC demanded he meet their deadlines, I reckon. Big mistake. After parting ways with the BBC for this series, his subsequent show was sarcastically called Content Provider, a parody of comedians having to work for corporations like the BBC proving. He was proving he is a hardcore comedian. Even if it wasn't great material like Carpet Remnant World, he held his ground. Few know that prior to Content Provider, Lee had toured a show that totally bombed after this season. He has removed all YT recordings of it, can't remember the name of the show, but it did well because of S4 of Stand Up being good. But I heard an audio recording of it, and it was awful (I love 90% of everything Lee has done), all new, probably rushed, material. It was really abstract, more like prose and stories, barely any laughs. Like he followed through on his promise from Carpet World to get rid of his mainstream audience. Crazy if true, but bands have done similar things. Then two years later he makes Content Provider, and it's new + recycled old material - getting him a one off BBC special. No-one mentions the failed tour and abandoned material in-between. This goes to show how difficult comedy is as an art form. Lee isn't a machine of genius. It takes time, rehearasal. Somtimes it just doesn't work. But he's not given up. And I love that he's allowed these videos from being taken down. Most comedians don't as it costs them on their DVD sales. The BBC just claims any ad rev rather than copyright striking. That might be due to Lee. Is so, fucking bravo. But he's got a new show, postponed due to Covid - by over a year. I bet it's totally different to how he started writing it. Can't wait. Still got my ticket for the 1.5 year postponed tour.
Thanks for taking the time to give that insightful critique. This show wasn't easy to watch, but then again, it's also great to see Stewart Lee fail occasionally, as he does it with such great aplomb.
I keep coming back to all of Stewart's routines but I must say this one really is a banger. I think it really shows how he can abuse and belittle a crowd and lose his shit and we still love him and think he is as funny as Fk. Also how well he crafts his sets to perfection. His theatrics and his ability to emote. The way he can elicit a reaction from the crowd and then respond as if it is all spontaneous and he hasn't steered the audience into reaction in the first place. Until I found Stewart, I really didn't realise how much crafting can go into a comedy routine. This man is a genius at it. A lot of other comedians have eventually bored me. In that, I either no longer re-watch a routine because I no longer laugh or I just lose interest in watching their new work at all. This man makes me laugh hard no matter how often I watch his routines. Even the stuff he scolds the audience for laughing at. I really love how he says, "Dog." in a high pitched voice. Truly my favourite comedian.
I do have the sense that this comment section is too cool to just admit that is so much fun. It's a journey that improves with every there and back again. Like a walk to the local chippy.
Yeah - really exemplifies his approach, most comics start on their second best joke and end on their best joke. Stew tells one joke, and thats the routine.
He makes an aside at the start about how it's not going to be all about urine. His fans know that it couldn't be - it's just the jumpoff. Then he does a set that has urine as its central premise.
23:34 and the following 'to camera' monologue is wonderfully dark and sardonic... and then the abrupt cut back to 'Live at the Apollo' patter... Just fantastic
Enjoying the fact that we few enthusiasts are still as smug at recognising his deconstructing mainstream and laughing at us…is a bit weird….. One day his art will be recognised…I hope we have all dropped him by then, just to make him happy….
I’m worried that he will do a Dylan, go electric and never do Scooby do, Pirates, and Top Gear again….perhaps a Live at the Apollo, no false indignation , just trying to please really….. Oh it’s all so hopeless….
fuck maaaaaaaan i didn know this guy existed before today when i saw the clip of him slagging off james corden! this shit hits me so hard, like he is the PERFECT example of what ive been desperately reaching for in dark comedy. his own lived experience, not shitting on vulnerable people. its exactly what i wanted. such good fortune i havent offed myself before finding him ❤
i know he’s very different but louis ck’s standup is solid too. you might enjoy tom segura too. he also has a great podcast. early tim jeffries standup was great too.
The best line in this is "A piece of wedding cake. A sample of their urine". He doesn't deliver it for a laugh but it's objectively the funniest thing in it.
Watching Fist of Fun back in the early 90s, I NEVER in a million years would have thought Stewart Lee would turn out to be this funny or clever (I only watched FOF for Kevin Eldon).

He's making a joke about the phrase "like a child's urine off an old man's face". Mark Watson is livid. It's an old Welsh saying that he'd heard as a child used by his family. It's a folksy turn of phrase they'd use all the time. But now he can't use it because Stuart Lee stole it to prop up his flailing comedy act! He'd hoped to teach his sons that phrase!
It's a vintage reference now. Did you see the Richard Herring interview? Watson dug himself a hole and filled it with one of every flavour of moral rationalisation. Herring eventually took pity and made some wank jokes to change the topic, but wow it was brutal
I was there for the filming, sitting at the back just behind a few cackling sycophants. He was in fact very rude to the audience; it sounded more like an aggressive lecture.

Stewart Lee is the comedian that Ricky Gervais wants to be.
Ricky Gervais is too sure of himself. He really believes he has answers to help the world. Stewart Lee projects more doubt. “Let doubt prevail!”
Is that weird sycophantic laugh Kevin Eldon?
That's true. I do find Ricky Gervais funny I'll admit that, but it's not funny on the same level as Stewart Lee. Ricky Gervais is funny because he is brazen and has no fear, Stewart Lee is funny because he's thoughtful and has no fear. I prefer Stewart Lee over any comedian, but I still find other people funny.
Literally 😂
They have two completely different styles of comedy.
His ability to switch and shift topic and seemingly improvise from the audience reaction is something to behold.
He very rarely improvises. That's his skill. He manipulates the audience, so it seems off the cuff, but it's all planned.
There are levels to the craft of stand up. Stewart Lee simply let’s us discover more of them. Just brilliant.
He’s a comedic genius. That routine is just brilliant.

The "walking through a forest of ghosts to see...you" line is a line one can savor for a long time. Like a piece of gum that doesn't lose its flavor.
It really is. It's even funny that it's not ironic that his best work doesn't get as many laughs as many of his other sets.
There's a better delivered version, i think it's from one of his recorded tours rather than Comedy Vehicle.
