Stewart Lee's Snowflake comes to TV

The week's best comedy on TV and radio

Sunday September 4

STEWART LEE: SNOWFLAKE: The acclaimed comedian performs half of his latest tour show, filmed at York Theatre Royal in May. The second half, Tornado, will b shown next Sunday. In this hour, Lee tackles cancel culture, free speech, identity politics, and being ‘woke’, all from the position of being a self-confessed snowflake. He takes on millionaire comedians baying for attention by pretending to be ‘cancelled’, considers how it isn’t actually possible to ‘say the unsayable’, and argues free speech can’t always be entirely free. And there’s a song. BBC Two, 10.35pm
