1)   As of last night (Monday Nov 1^st)the TV series Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle began being repeated on Dave. No. I didn’t know about it either. Shame. I could have mentioned it in some of the countless interviews I have been doing all over the country in every medium to promote my tour. Anyway, tune in again for blah blah blah.....

.. ..

2)   There are two music books out this month with bits by me. I wrote the intro to John Robb’s study of the 80’s UK underground, Death To Trad Rock, and have a chapter on The Fall in The Wire Magazine’s new Primers book.....

2) STEWART LEE’S COMEDY VEHICLE DVD....

Thank-you for watching this show, if you did. Figs were 1.25 million by the end, building over the series, which apparently is perfectly acceptable these days, and critical reaction was very good. People have been nice about it in pubs and in the street. I was supposed to find out if there was a 2^nd series in June but Lucy Lumsden quit her BBC comedy job and everything went wonky.THE ANswer is 'not no' apparently. I will know in January. There is a dvd available on September 7^th, with 1 ½ hrs of extra stuff etc. I get 5 pence in the pound off this from the BBC so please buy it and don’t just steal it off the net. I neeeeeed this!....

6 EDINBURGH TIPS ....

.. ..

The Edinburgh Fringe, the highlight of the calendar, is upon us. HURRAH! BUT with no Aurora Nova and the evil hegemony of the big 4 venues and their self-styled Edinburgh Comedy Festival, it may look as though the heart has been ripped out of the thing, but there is still much to look forward to. Here are 5 professional tips and a personal one, that would also be professional under normal circumstances. ....

.. ..

a) Daniel Kitson’s new show at The Stand or his play The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church at The Traverse. As all proper comedians know he is the best there is.....

.. ..

b) Hans Teuwen at Underbelly pasture. A great comedian who makes most others look futile.....

.. ..

c) Nick Pynn – Colours Of The Night at Inlingua. Brilliant one-man art-folk orchestra in a 12 seater room. With free wine and low lighting. Take someone you love. Superb.....

.. ..

d) Barflies by Gridiron. Traverse presents one of the greatest theatre experimental companies in the world doing a site-specific piece about Charles Bukowski, drunk poet loved by immature men. Should be great.....

.. ..

e) Bridget Christie – My Daily Mail Hell at Gilded Balloon 6.30. I live with this woman and have also lived with this. It is funny and true. You will see there is no stylistic or psychological overlap between us, which makes you wonder… Due to a cock-up, this isn’t advertised in the Fringe prog so please seek it out at your earliest convenience.....

.. ..

f) Dick Gaughan – St Brides, 17^th Aug. Last year, the fringe gig by this Scottish folk veteran was one of the most punk rock things I ever saw, leaving me utterly speechless with astonishment at the power and passion.....

.. ..

AND REMEMBER, in these skinny CREDIT CRUNCH times the best CREDIT CRUNCH CABARET value shows remain those at THE STAND, where you can see the greatest comics in the world in tiny rooms for a tenner or less, despite them not being in the self-styled Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Or, to be perfectly frank, check out THE FREE FRINGE, which is FREE. Then spend the money you save on someone who needs it and is probably losing £1000s. ....

.. ..

2) IF YOU PREFER A MILDER COMEDIAN, PLEASE ASK FOR ONE ....

… is the title of the new live stand-up show. It will be run in at The Stand, Edinburgh, Weds 5^th Aug – Sunday 30^th Aug, not 17^th, 7.45, £10.  This is a relatively small room and over half the seats are now sold.....

.. ..

STEWART LEE....

IF YOU PREFER A MILDER COMEDIAN, PLEASE ASK FOR ONE....

.. ..

Work in progress, towards a new touring show, from the comedian currently fashionable amongst broadsheet newspaper critics due to his BBC2 series Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle. ....

.. ..

Stew says, “In this show, an account of something that happened to me in a coffee shop will be used as a convenient framing device for disparate material possibly concerning English Heritage, Top Gear, The Olympics, emigration, prawns, Bella Pasta, The National Trust, farmers, DH Lawrence, piglets, cathedrals, bees, Iggy Pop, cider adverts, riots etc etc.”....

.. ..

As usual, expect …....

1) Some punchy stuff near the top....

2) inexplicable hostility towards relatively innocuous figures....

3) silences....

4) repetition....

5) sudden and/or gradual shifts in tone, velocity and volume ....

6) long routines experimenting with form rather than content....

7) the possibility of failure....

8)  a quasi-serious bit at the end.....

9) New for 2009! A song!....

.. ..

2009 is the 22^nd fringe appearance by this obtuse man.....

.. ..

“Lee destroys his topics with the precision, relentlessness and brutality of a medieval torturer; repeatedly and meticulously attacking the same small point until it becomes weakened to the point of collapse. Shorter jokes would be funnier, but nowhere near as transfixing, as the audience are compelled to see just how far he dare push it, and left to marvel at the man’s sheer audacity. There’s some tension as to whether it will work or not, and occasionally it doesn’t.” – Steve Bennett, Chortle....

“Apparently ill at ease with both speech and movement, Lee’s presence creates a kind of negative energy, a black hole of vacancy, pregnant with lack of meaning.” – Tim Out, Time Out London....

“His whole tone is one of complete, smug condescension” – Roz Laws, Birmingham Sunday Mercury....

.. ..

“I thought, ‘I'm funnier than Stewart Lee. If he can do it, I can’.” Al Murray, The Times....

WHAT WOULD JUDAS DO? Audio cd

There’s a set of three audio cds, documenting my 2007 theatre piece What Would Judas Do?, newly available for £10 from the wonderful Go Faster Stripe. The sound quality is lo-fi and this wasn’t a comedy show as such, but I am sure you will be delighted by the package.

41^st BEST STAND-UP EVER Audio cd

The 41^st Best Stand-Up Ever set is newly available as an audio cd. If you’re one of the 20 000 + people who illegally downloaded the DVD of this show from torrent sites, as opposed to one of the 4000 or so that bought it, perhaps you’d like to buy this as a way of helping Real Talent to recoup their costs. Thieves!

STEWART LEE’S COMEDY VEHICLE

Thank-you for watching this show, if you did. Figs were just over a million, which apparently is perfectly acceptable these days, and critical reaction was very good. People have been nice about it in pubs and in the street. I have to go to meetings soon to see if there can be a second series. There is a dvd available on September 7^th, with extra stuff etc.
