Stewart Lee: Snowflake
In the last ever performances of this show, Stewart Lee, 'the world's greatest living stand-up' (Times), looks at how the Covid-Brexit era has impacted on the culture war declared on lovely woke snowflakes by horrible people. 'Lee remains one of the best stand-ups in the country' ***** (Metro). 'Proper, vicious prejudice - a self-proclaimed inhabitant of the moral high ground' (Sarah Vine, Daily Mail). 'The rancid tip of a cess pit' (Tony Parsons). www.stewartlee.co.uk
