Broadcast Date For Stewart Lee's Snowflake on BBC

Stewart Lee Calls Ricky Gervais' Comedy Drama Work "Abysmal"

A broadcast date has been confirmed for the BBC broadcast of Stewart Lee's last stand-up show, Snowflake.

It will be transmitted on SUNDAY 4th SEPT on BBC2 at 10.35pm and then will be available on iPlayer.

The show was filmed live at York Theatre Royal in May 2022. When performed live it was performed back to back with another show, Tornado, which airs on September 11.

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, with the help of some selected quotes from writer and author Tony Parsons. And there’s a song.

The picture of Stewart Lee on this page was taken by photographer Steve Ullathorne.
