No-one can construct a long form joke like Stewart Lee. He is not to everyone's taste but for me he is incredible.

[@PJBonoVox]

The Caffè Nero bit is legendary. Goes on forever and he departs from it about 10 times but he ties it all back together.

[@pablobrad100]

He's a genius

[@TheRealDingus76]

I think he's great, and he cracks me up so much

[@Ian-cp3fj]

Just fantastic seen him live a few times and no one can hold a candle to him in my opinion

[@possessedslig]

It terms of structuring a joke he might be the best ever

'Stewart Lee on UKIP' is a classic

[@andyastrand]

Bloody Huguenots

[@padmelotus]

Did you mean, "The UKIPs"?

[@James-ju4gj]

Greatest stand up comedian of all time in my opinion. Seen him live twice, spoke with him after both shows and he was an absolute gentleman and incredibly friendly.

[@MrBaronCabron]

Yep, nobody comes close for me. There's very few people who can make me belly laugh, Norm and Stew stand in a league of their own. Wish we could have gotten Norm and Stew in a room together for an hour.

[@markredford84]

I saw him and his wife before a show just walking round enjoying the sun ....he looked fat and miserable 😂

[@TheZackkary1]

I think he’s the 41st greatest comedian

James May came out of that quite well I thought.

I will just add that Stewart Lee's bit on Brexit and Trump is absolutely gold!

I saw both of Stewart Lee's shows at the Edinburgh Fringe this year. He's a genius.

[@plawrence8083]

You see how British Comedy works. It leads you into thinking that its gone serious and then it slaps you in the face.

[@thedukeofnuts]

Not British Comedy: Stuart Lee comedy!

[@MattSingh1]

*Slaps you in the face? Like the Tango Man?*

[@Rindulus]

Stewart Lee genuinely doesn’t like Clarkson. Interestingly one of Clarkson’s daughters mentioned in Lee’s routine has publicly criticised her father many times over his ridiculously nasty comments in newspapers. Most people who aren’t fans of his, like myself, merely ignore him or refer his fans to this video where Lee neatly sums up the Clarkson style.

[@tobyb1018]

“It’s just a joke” is the dumbest and most indefensible defence… this routine is brilliant

[@maihai6732]

Stewart Lee is brilliant ,I absolutely adore his show 'if you prefer a milder comedian'( that this is from) it's probably my favourite comedy show ever, not just of his. The 'pear cider' ending is total genius He is the master of the slow burn, the rant and the call back. But one of my favourite things about him, is how he turns on half the audience and berates them for not laughing enough, he will totally roast them. It's kinda what he is known for. He really is a master at controlling the room and is also known as the comedian's comedian. Please do the pear cider bit of this show!

[@paulbromley6687]

Stuart Lee comes out of the same stable as Sean Lock. You can hear Sean laughing and clapping from heaven

[@tonycroft9022]

Stewart Lee and Richard Hammond went to the same school in Solihull near Birmingham. Lee is two years older than Hammond but their paths might have crossed.

[@nealmurdoch]

You should watch Stewart Lee on Paul Nuttall of the UKIPs

Love Stewart Lee. Seen that video before but can watch it again and again.

[@Energyflash1979]

To put into context him mentioning he's liberal, he is referring to the emails and articles he gets from the mainstream tabloid press in the UK who are constantly stoking culture wars with the likes of Clarksons weekly contributions.

[@lukem5787]

His newest specials recently televised, particularly the second part, are incredible

[@rotoscope3454]

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle show on the BBC was genius.

[@andcouncil1]

You have to see his routine on 911. Just spectacular.

[@rlawrence9838]

Theres a series called stuart lees comedy vehicle thats half hours of his stand up each show but the smaller audience venue makes his stand up have a different edge to it, You should definitely do that i think

[@Sdw77]

Big KB 😂😂Your reaction made it even funnier 👌🏽😂😂🫶🏽

[@olliep8117]

Haha I love this clip, I remember watching it 10 years ago and loving it! And funnily enough, even if Lee doesn't really mean any of this and it's just a sketch, it actually innoculated me against wanting to watch Top Gear. After this and his other sketches on TG, it kind of lost it's flair for me and Clarkson and Hammond started irritating me. This guy's stuff is well thought through and has real impact. He's done another sketch on the TG guys representing the 3 bears that's also funny.

[@2old4gamez]

Check out Stewart Lee's 'For Example, And this Is True'.

Stewart Lee is a genius. That’s all.

[@PaulAJacksonMusic]

So many Stewart Lee clips to recommend. Audience Analysis In Sheffield, Shilbottle, Coming Over Here...

[@simply_psi]

Sometime Stewart Lees bild up can be a bit long but the payoff is always worth it especially with his deadpan delivery, I like commedians who have that deadpan delivery such as Jack Dee, Joan Rivers, Milton Jones, Emo Phillips and Jo Brand.

[@mikkdc]

Jack Dee is one of the best stand ups I have seen. His delivery is perfect. Loved him on Shooting Stars too.

The 90s comedian excerpt on youtube I think you'd enjoy as well.. pear cider might be hard to understand if you don't know the slogan. thanks for another enjoyable reaction! :D

[@lewisb85]

He is a liberal yes but he has had quite a lot of success roasting the stupidity and incompetence of the right wing British press almost like if Peter Cook or Ian Hislop did stand up. He comes from the right place with it however, he did a routine roasting a journalist and their coverage of the "Suffolk strangler" case criticizing the way that the journalist wrote about the victims.

[@aliorr9356]

[@miff227]

@@HistoritorJimaldus I suppose it depends on how you define lefty. I bet Ricky Gervais would be described as far right by most "lefties" though he's likely left wing in the UK. Patrice O Neale? His views are basically white supremacist hate speech these days, but he's was likely quite left wing in his day. Bill Burr...leftie? No. Probably votes democrat though. But most likely your subset of humans you class as comedians is entirely created by you watching main stream TV, which is a massive filtration device that is completely far left.

The line about Gordon Brown not crossing his T's in the letter due to his poor sight is very revealing of British right wing politics. Brown was absolutely destroyed in the British newspapers for this oversight and made out to be a villain. The majority of newspapers in the UK are owned by billionaires who support the right wing political party, The Conservatives.

i don't know if you know or if it's been said already, but Hammond got into a serious accident on the job and was on life support for a while. Then they were saying he'd be brain damaged or paralysed, but he made a full recovery. He got to sell the eff out of the story and it also made Top Gear more popular. Still, i love TG, not the current version, but the version with Clarkson, Hammond and May was the best. I've said for a while that you (and queen boomer too) should go through the TG specials. There was a time when around Christmas a TG special would air and the whole family would get together to watch it (probably the only time we're all together in one house), it was an occasion. TG specials were brilliant.

Stewart Lee. Chris Morris. Armando Ianucci. Get on it. The Day Today is the single best comedy that has cone from the UK. It changed everything. And it came in the early Nineties. All british and a huge amount of American comedy came from it. Yet…..nobody talks about it. Except people with a great sense of humour. Dig in. Drop in. The seed of all comedy since Python
