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

The Edinburgh Fringe is just another choking canary in the toxic national mine

But if I'm going to watch the Britain I loved expire slowly, I'd rather do it from the top of the Royal Mile in August.

Stewart Lee, The Observer, 27th August 2023

What happens to comedy when British politics becomes a joke?

When audiences do want something sharp, they want it to confirm prejudices.

The Economist, 17th August 2023
