Edinburgh Fringe
Stewart Lee: Basic Lee
70-minute selection of highlights from the current touring show. One man, one microphone, and one microphone in the wings in case the one on stage breaks. Pure. Simple. Classic. Basic Lee. 'The world's greatest living stand-up' (Times). 'Basically, basic Lee is better than most' **** (Telegraph). 'Basically, Basic Lee is very funny' **** (Times). 'Basically, back-to-basics Basic Lee is anything but' ***** (Mail on Sunday). 'It's brilliantly choreographed, razor-sharp and laugh-aloud hilarious, but anything but basic' (Louder Than War). www.stewartlee.co.uk
