Stewart Lee leaves his Comedy Vehicle outside Edinburgh's Stand Comedy Club for a second series of his personally curated stand-up showcase. Familiar faces from the first series set to return for the new run include Simon Munnery and Josie Long, along with a chance to enjoy the fresher faces of Lou Sanders and Nish Kumar. Tonight's series opener features Edinburgh comedy award-winner Bridget Christie, long-time Lee conspirator Kevin Eldon, and the sumptuously surreal Tony Law.

Radio Times review

"It's just like Live at the Apollo isn't it?" No, it's not, and that's the point. Far from the shiny floors of Hammersmith, deep in the basement of Edinburgh's Stand Comedy Club, this is more chaotic and much closer to attending an actual night of live stand-up with the likes of Tony Law, Bridget Christie and Kevin Eldon.

Except it's not, it's a TV show, and that's also the point. Despite some smart backstage interviews with Stewart Lee, the bill of not-quite-household names never let you forget it's all a wee bit fake: obsessing over catchphrases, lighting rigs and the other trappings of stand-up on TV. It's all very self-referential and very, very funny. As the dawdling Paul Foot puts it: "This sort of thing I'm doing now, it entertains people, but it's catastrophic for television. I am committing career suicide."
