Stewart Lee review
Comedic tornado blows hot and cold.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 8th November 2019Stewart Lee review: Waller-Bridge in the firing line
Has he jumped the shark? Fortunately for us he is no physical shape to jump over anything.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 8th November 2019Review - Stewart Lee: Snowflake/Tornado
Although the broad sweeps of Lee's work take in familiar liberal arguments, there's a weight and a detail that provides substantial food for thought. As with so much of his work, it's the sort of comedy that you'll recall days or weeks after the gig as situations he describes re-present themselves. Or if you sit down for some shark-based movie action.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 8th November 2019Review - Stewart Lee, Snowflake/Tornado
I did actually enjoy Snowflake quite a lot - but then I would, I'm a fan of Lee's, and in many ways he's still a remarkable comedian. But to put the whole night in vinyl terms, the first half was full of bangers, the second faded out.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th October 2019Stewart Lee: Nobody gives a hoot about my Brexit misery
Even the local wildlife is taunting me now, as I am marooned in a state of political powerlessness.
Stewart Lee, The Guardian, 27th October 2019Stewart Lee: Could Jennifer Arcuri save us from doom?
Perhaps true joy with his American friend could plug the black hole in the PM's heart before it consumes us all.
Stewart Lee, The Observer, 13th October 2019Review: March of the Lemmings by Stewart Lee
In the preamble to this collection of the astringently sour articles that he's written since the referendum, the comedian admits he's deepeningly cynical and depressed about the whole process. And let's face it, his persona was never Mr Sunshine in the first place.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 3rd October 2019Stewart Lee: Boris Johnson feels ire of Prometheus
Was the prime minister unwise to compare Brexit to the titan's eternal punishment?
