Stewart Lee discusses his career at length in a new podcast interview with Rob Brydon to promote the BBC airings of his most recent shows Snowflake and Tornado.
In a wide ranging chat Lee talks about John Cleese, Simon Munnery, memory, Noel Fielding, the 'Stewart Lee character', working with a young Steve Coogan, punching up/down, woke comedy, his writing process and his audience among other things.
I wonder if @Slack_TV will be risking his life and tuning in to the broadcast of Stewart Lee's show Tornado. When Lee's show Snowflake was broadcast on BBC Two it nearly killed @slack_TV according to his Twitter posts.
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.
The David Johnson Emerging Talent Award celebrates the life of maverick producer David Johnson who died in 2020. The cash prize of £11,000 comes with no strings and will be presented to a performer/show on 28th August at a mixed bill comedy show at 6pm at the Gordon Aikman Theatre. It is The Biggest Cash Prize on the Fringe! Ever!
Stewart Lee has announced national dates of his new show Basic Lee in 2023 following a run at the Leicester Square Theatre in London.
Lee writes on his newsletter: "After a decade of ground-breaking high concept shows involving overarched interlinked narratives, massive sets and enormous comedy props, Lee enters the post-pandemic era in streamlined solo stand-up mode. One man, one microphone, and one microphone in the wings in case the one on stage breaks. Pure. Simple. Classic. Basic Lee."
The "41st best stand-up ever" Stewart Lee returns to the BBC with two new shows Snowflake and Tornado, following his previous live special Stewart Lee: Content Provider in 2018.
This double bill from the Bafta award-winning comedian will be filmed in front of a live audience in York, as part of his current national tour which is taking place in more than 60 towns and cities across the UK.
The annual Leicester Comedy Festival Awards took place tonight, honouring the comedians, venues and promoters that make this festival the largest and most successful comedy festival in Europe. The VIP awards ceremony took place in Leicester and was hosted by comedian Eshaan Akbar.
In support of Neil Young's and Joni Mitchell's principled withdrawal from Spotify, the English comedian Stewart Lee ("the world's greatest living stand-up" - The Times) is taking his stand-up material off Spotify.
Tickets are now on sale for Stewart Lee's next show, Basic Lee, which is scheduled to run at the Leicester Square Theatre from September 20 - December 17, 2022.
The venue blurb says: "After a decade of ground-breaking high concept shows involving overarched interlinked narratives, massive sets and enormous comedy props, Lee enters the post-pandemic era in streamlined solo stand-up mode.
Someone at the BBC appears to have a finely honed sense of humour. Last week Stewart Lee's documentary, Unreliable Narrator, aired on Radio 4. The documentary is about the history of unreliable narrators and how truth and fiction have had a recurring tendency to be blurred. It also features Kevin Eldon, Rob Auton and Nish Kumar.
