Thank gos someone has finally pointed this out. Using someone's old material, out of context and in a written form is as funny as it has ever been, is or ever will be.

I first met Stewart at my grandsons 4th birthday party. My grandson had been given a hamster as a gift. Stew sat on the arm of my chair, stared somewhere in the middle distance and told me how, as a young boy, he’d won a hamster cage in a competition in The Lady magazine. It turned into one of his now famous interminable monologues, and I’ve loved him ever since. Such a clever wordsmith.

Listening to him talk as Stewart-Lee-the-person always makes me feel like I'm having having a nice, warm, relaxing soak in a bath of clever. Doesn't make me laugh like Stewart-Lee-the-stand-up-comedian, but then I don't really need to laugh in the bath.

Thank you very much for this really appreciated interview and for uploading. His is an outstanding comedian, to me in a league of his own. It's quite interesting how fast speaking he is in contrast to his performances on stage. I believe it tells something about the self-conscious control of timing and the self-conscious power of the narrative.

This guy evolved his own comedy and you either keep up or you don't...he's a bona fide genius

That Radovan Karadžić - despite letting himself go - is one of the finest lecturers of his generation.

Thank you getting straight into it without an embarassing long-winded intro from someone nebulous to the event/session.

Fabulous comedian thanks Mr Lee

Great conversation. I'd enjoyed Lee's standup before but always felt like I never quite got it. Hearing him talking about his persona and what he's trying to achieve really makes me appreaciate his work more.

I couldn't stand his early stuff but his stand up work from mid 2000's is quality., I don't particularly like Richard Herring so maybe that's why I don't like his early work.

There is a lovely video of John Cage performing a piece called Waterwalk in front on a live casual tv audience. It is bizarre and the audience start laughing and tittering and you can see he loves it. That combination of experimental music, entertainment, and comedy. He was a very tongue in check musician whose primary instrument was creativity.

Great upload. There's just not enough Stewart Lee stuff out there.

Could a comedy be found in persistence? Lee has a theme of persistence to his act, an dark dogmatism that will make most people laugh in the end for one reason or another.

The best to ever do it.

I like too see him laughing at himself too seems like a decent bloke.

He’s just excellent. I find the creation of his character intriguing, because I suspect it’s a front. I think there is one character here.
