Went to see Stewart Lee’s new live show in Worthing’s Pier Pavilion last night.

Unfortunately the place was half empty. (Other venues are already sold out!)Worthing’s clearly not big on alternative comedy. However, we did have a drunk heckler who had to be removed by an elderly council employee. He went without fuss.

Very enjoyable show and I would certainly recommend it.

I rather enjoyed the bit where Stew mentioned Dime, and that his friend Mark is in the audience illegally recording the show. (I wasn’t recording it btw).

Stew’s tour covers the whole country in the next couple of months.

I'm off to see him next month- looking forward to it. He has said that for some reason Worthing wasn't selling.

:lol: Pre-cog?

This is my kind of town, Worthing is
My kind of town Worthing is, my kind of people too.... :lol:

(Apologies to Sammy Cahn/Van Heusen).

I saw him last night.
I liked him.
At one point was incontrovertably a joke for Fall fans.
BIG LAFF
there must be plenty of Fall fans in Swansea.

Presumably the lack of a recording is because YOU were the drunk heckler who was gently evicted?

I was shouting 'you're fucking shit', just prior to being asked to leave. To be honest I regret that now, especially as Stew had given me a free ticket.

oh go on, tell us the joke

Saw Poo-art Wee last night. Really really good. It was by far the largest venue I have seen him in and I wondered if something would be lost but it worked really well. I wish the Mail On Sunday had not told me all about the Richard Hammond stuff. He either didn't do the joke for Fall fans or I missed it.

My favouritist bits were the stuff about emigration and the stuff about the Cafe Nero loyalty card.

The emigration bit was good.

I work with these sort of people. They tell me how great it would be to go to New Zealand, or even just to the country.

After 2 years of watching that same horse in that same field, they all end up mad and on drugs (Which their townie mates have to supply them because they can't find any dealers in the local farm shop).

"Please come and visit us in the country"
"Please please come and visit"
"For God's sake, come and see us!!!!"
"Please come now and brings all the drugs you can carry aahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

I'm sure that horse has moved today.

Yeah, I live in the country myself and it is full of people who wish they lived in a big town. It does have good points but it can also be fucking boring.

It was during the "emigrants" bit.....fill in the blank here ++++++

"massive prawns on Christmas day......massive prawns on New Year's Day.....massive prawns on Easter Sunday..........++++++"

He didn't do it in Cheltenham either apparently.

Saw him in Harlow last night. Very good. Recommended. No mention of The Fall for some reason. Orienteering with Napalm Death was good. Plenty of good cracks about what a hole Harlow is. And it is.

Saw him in Cardiff fri:- gig postponed from Oct, with final encore of "a song that would have been topical then...."

Russel Brand's Wedding

(a passing resemblance, since you arsk)

got his book signed after the newcastle show for my mates birthday. he was unimpressed that said mate had clocked him in the toilets during a my bloody valentine show.

How many Fall related references can Lee squeeze into a Comment is Free article on Damon Albarn and the occult?

Have a look:

!!!

The mixed reaction in the comments section is quite amusing. Some people really can't get him ...

Wrong thread, damn you search facility.

Is his wife fucking Damon then?

he does one todays obs

"giant moths"

Stewart Lee is guest editor of Today on New Year's Eve - he's just been on talking about it UND! said MES is on it - I fink talking about the BBC moving to Salford.

:applaud:

So it wasn't a dream, I thought that's what I heard. He said MES was going to be talking about how the BBC's relocation to Salford has affected the cultural and intellectual life of the area. Should be good.

But did he mean the real MES though, cos he also said he was getting Oliver Cromwell on his show for some tips on how to ban Christmas?

Good point! -_-

I just heard that too on Today R4 Prog, while seeing to morning's ablutions... nearly fell off the crapper..
May be an amusing MES-type rant..

How much does he lay into Bill Hicks or did the Mail on Sunday lie about that too?

I went to see smug-faced bore Stewart Lee in London's glitzy West End last week. He's still carrying on with that repetition shtick, I suspect mainly as a cover for the fact that he has ABSOLUTELY NO MATERIAL.

About halfway through the first half, Stew's microphone stopped working. Calmly, he went into the wings and fetched the spare mic. This was also non-functioning. He stood there, stranded, in the middle of the stage, bumping the two mics together, with no sound resulting, looking slightly bemused - sounds oddly familiar/remind you of anyone?! :lol: Then he improvised, unamplified, shouting into the audience, for, ooh, about 20 mins. Haha! Which was a shame really, as it interrupted his flow -- I think he was telling jokes about Muslims. No, hang on, telling a joke about telling jokes about Muslims. Yeah, that's better.

I hated it, and would never, ever go and see him again.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the sort of thing Stewart Lee would post if he was coming on here pretending not to be Stewart Lee and I claim an M&S bag full of skronky jazz.

I agree.

I'm am emigrant, so PM me your address and I'll send you some big prawns like you don't get back home.

Funny story; I ate prawns all my life and when I left the UK I developed an allergy...

I've heard this....



...is super duper.

Are the so called critics right to encourage consumers to get their own copy?

I thought it was great, but I loves him.

Saw him do his act last night, phew it was hard work. But satisfying in that way after you've chopped a load of wood. There was a video screen up during the interval that made Nick Lowe look like Bary Cryer, and Grayson Perry was there. That's a top West End night out, that.

w oblig mes mention

Thanks for that GVAB. Looking at his dates I'm probably not going to be able to see him on this your, and then he says he isn't planning to tour for 4-5 years? I'm very jealous of those of you who have seen the new show.

(I was going to say are you on his mailing list as he's on tour but I mis-read your post)
