Stewart Lee Stand-up Shows

Stewart Lee - 90s Comedian (1x2)

Date de diffusion: Nov 15, 2006

It's one of the scandals of our time that Joe Pasquale's Return of the Love Monkey is avaliable everywhere, but this masterclass in honest intelligent comedy is on sale only at a solitary website and its author's live gigs. The Pasquale comparison is relevant, as the squeaky unfunny man is one of Lee's most fruitful targets, alongside Robbie Williams, Dan Brown and the 60,000 born-again Christians who waged a hate campaign against Lee for directing Jerry Springer the Opera. Charges of blasphemy were dropped, "because it's not 1508", but Lee's life was turned upside down. With unflinching reflections on "a bit of a difficult year" allied to almost supernatural stagecraft, this set is high art in comparison with most stand-up. Especially Pasquale's.
