Saw Stewart Lee tonight live.

The man’s a genius.

Stewart Lee – Observational comedy

He’s one of my favourites too – sharp, clever AND funny without being up his own ar$e.

…only wish he’d done some of his Top Gear stuff.

Then I could have quoted it on here and thereby reinstated the usual Sunday “I love/loathe TG” thread.

I saw him last year – was a fan from the Lee and Herring Fist of Fun days (you can download the old radio shows from his website). He was trying out new stuff for the TV show – looking forward to that.

I saw him just before Christmas. He is by far the best stand up I’ve ever seen. His next programme on BBC will contain a fair bit of the material from that show.

Yep another +1 here, probably my favourite comedian. All the Fist of Fun and This Morning With Richard Not Judy are linked from his website as well. Saw him at the Brighton Dome last year, absolutely brilliant!

Totally agree about Stewart Lee’s excellence.

I went to the Comedy Club in Stafford last night. 2 of the acts were just like his “observational comedy” Where are you from…ooh Erdington – pound shop, charity shop, pound shop charity shop” etc. Not a single gag between them.

The headline was Steve Day though. Britain’s only deaf comedian. Thoroughly good with punch lines and everything – go and see him if you can.

How is he with hecklers?

I thought he rode a Nomad?

Nope still don’t find him funny, oh well.

You have to heckle in sign language. But you can applaud without hitting your hands together and he can’t tell the difference.

Quite funny when he told us about the argument with his bank manager. Apparently the bank manager said “Your account”.

His ‘Richard Littlejohn/dead prostitute’ is well worth finding on youtube.

I won’t link it as it is definitely NSFW 8)

This is one of my favourite bits (does have some swearing) – it still kinda works even when seen out of context (filmed in Glasgow!)…..
