Stewart Lee has named his best ten stand-ups working today – and is curating a season to showcase them all at the Bloomsbury Theatre.
He said: 'I have arrived at my own definitive list of the best ten stand-ups of all time, based on my insider knowledge and a secret ballot of myself conducted by me. Some of the acts in the season are so brilliant their genius has prevented them from becoming household names.'
The first night featured Johnny Vegas - who was billed as a mystery guest - and Simon Munnery.
