I've seen Stewart Lee a bunch of times over many years, and I find him hysterically funny. That said, he requires, really, a couple of things from his audience; Intelligence (sorry, but if you're not literate and fairly free-thinking, you're not going to like him); Familiarity with the general structure of comedy, and preferably his previous work; and total contempt for religion, right-wing politics and mainstream comedy. If this doesn't sound like you, you wont like him.

Ally, September 2008


***** truely brilliant, saw him at The Stand on Monday. His timing is perfect and his material is witty, the total comedian, if there was any justice in the world he would be selling out arena tours!

Ben Mumford, August 2008


Slee is consistently amazing. I'm just not sure why he persists in starting most shows with the 'If Jesus is the answer...' routine. Is there anybody with even a passing interest in comedy who hasn't seen it already on numerous occasions? To me it doesn't seem even close to his best material. It was a bit disappointing that he opened with it again at the first Bloomsbury Ten Best Stand-Ups Show when it was a fair bet that lots of people had gone on the back of seeing him before.

Simon, April 2008


Saw Stew in Burnley to an almost full theatre thingy I have to say loved him to bits, totally engaging and intelligent as we know but full of fun. I especially loved the sefl-conscious comment on the whole process. He will never be everyone's cup of tea but for me he is a genius! great value.

Dave, April 2008


Utterly brilliant. If you don't get him you are missing out on a genuine talent.

Ian, March 2008


Quite fantastic. His quality shines through even if the marketing people have failed him miserably. Little more than 100 in Wellingborough but he was still superb. Creative, clever and always pushing comic conventions. Anyone who doesn't find him funny should probably stick to watching Freddie Starr on Men & Motors.

JLY, March 2008


I saw him yesterday and laughed my nuts off. The show was brilliant and Stewart has to be one of the most intelligent comics I have seen, with a great ability to hold the stage and everyone's focus for the entire show.

Andrew C., March 2008


Just fabulous. The criticisms here are pretty funny too, i.e: "Make me laugh comedy man, but do it in a way so that I don't have to think about it, or engage my brain in any way whatsoever!"

Alice, March 2008
