IF YOU PREFER A MILDER COMEDIAN, PLEASE ASK FOR ONE....
.. ..
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 Top Gear, emigration, prawns, Bella Pasta, Iggy Pop, cider adverts 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 22nd 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....
"The award for the unfunniest comedian in the Edinburgh Fringe goes to Stewart Lee... as funny as catching the bubonic plague" - The Sun
