Stewart Lee Basic Lee Live At The Lowry 2024 Full Episode Epic Comedy

Stewart Lee returns to The Lowry for his stand-up comedy show, 'Basic Lee', as he attempts to define by example what comedy is exactly, rewarding his audience with a barrel of laughs and bucketful of self-reflective comic deconstruction.

[@Globaldave1970]

He's a genius and so am I because I like him.

[@guitarreilly]

Hey! me too! And I've let myself go

[@UmarAstro]

Yes me too , im bald , bearded and have glasses

[@iansmith9125]

I’m from South Shields & it used to be all vape shops & bookies but the jazz scene has really turned the place around. I was threatened with a knife a few weeks ago but the lad was whistling my funny valentine as he tried to pinch me phone 👍

this is why i never walk On Green Dolphin Street!

[@costcoexecutivemember]

Ahahahahha

SKY’s copyright lawyers have let themselves go

[@fractaled3129]

This is my third time watching this in the last month because I'm a genius and I just require regular confirmation of it.

[@sawyerstudio]

🤣

[@Josef_K99]

Second half of this is genuinely some of his best stuff ever, honestly hope he never gives up and just keeps on incessantly touring.

[@andrewroberts8139]

Those of us who have actually said 'You can't really watch other stand-ups after Stewart Lee' squirm uncomfortably at that bit

[@Dancatspoolschool]

All true fans say it😅

[@pushthetempo2]

I'm on my back in bed with my wife next to me, watching him on my laptop going ahhh ha haaa ha hahhhhaaa god 'es a genius

[@Globaldave1970]

So you have to wait two years for another stand up show?

[@davidmacgowan2337]

Extreme brilliance. Literary art at its best. Lee has honed his act to perfection.

[@thomasyates3078]

Nah, this isn't as good as when he did Not Going Out.

[@johnayres2303]

I stood behind him once in a queue at a baked potato van. He was having a go at the elderly proprietor.

[@Matt77125]

Between Stewart Lee and Radiohead, I've alienated every single woman on earth.

From all of us outside the UK that can’t even pay to see this show… 🙏🙏🙏

Get a vpn - sign up and watch. It’s easy

@@gazza1252 tried that. Platform can’t be downloaded in my country, and web version won’t work. Also didn’t accept my country’s CC details. Basically making it impossible to pay. I did try.

[@dismalfist]

Did you think for a moment he'd let himself go?

[@TheBlinkyImp]

Clicked on this on accident, ended up watching the whole four and a half hours

[@paulh6102]

I wont watch this yet. I will wait to buy it second hand on dvd for 1p from Amazon.

[@christheghostwriter]

Not if he buys it first

[@talkonthedarksidewithcaz1120]

Stew lee thankyou so much for intelligent humour over so many years 😂

[@clareconnor4152]

He is my favourite comedian, though I rarely laugh. He is, quite simply, the best social commentator of our age.

[@Globaldave1970]

He's not really a commentator, more of a literary agitator.

[@pulchralutetia]

@@Globaldave1970 Or a noetic discombobulator.

[@Diseased_Mr_T]

Did you laugh? No, but you agreed the fuck out of it!

[@artemvsprime]

He’s a “literally artist” according to himself. I think he really means what he says, so it’s serious stuff.

[@Globaldave1970]

But you smiled knowingly a few times.

[@echo3uk]

I thought I should watch this, really.

[@rg5580]

Seeing as you're here.

[@Globaldave1970]

You should, yeah you should.

[@paulh6102]

I am so lucky that I have my imaginary black wife. We saw him live and she loved it. Unfortunately my imaginary Irish wife turned up and kicked off.

[@99346447]

because of course your imaginary irish wife has a fiery temper. you sir are a bigot.

[@99346447]

but then you all say, no Stew he cant possibly be a bigot because he has an imaginary black wife so hes actually a bigamist and i would say……shut up and hum your jazz quietly to yourself and think how clever you are for copying Stewarts irreverant style.

[@Kachiga69]

I saw him at the lowry in 2023. After i met him and he signed a piece of toilet paper from my office job. Top guy

[@jumpysalmon]

Went into work today (it’s Friday), said good morning, they replied saying it’s going to rain today. I thought about how Lee is a genius. -bald man with a beard.

[@BritPunk]

Not sure why I'm writing this sentence. Or this one. Or even this one. And this. And this one now.

Clearly, you haven't done any research 😁

Saw Basic Lee in Sheffield back in March, bought my ticket for next April's '...Man-Wulf' show yesterday. :)

[@alexhurst6012]

I can’t get enough of “hello my names fleabag”

[@MrBrutal33]

Im glad this was put on youtube so I didn't have to pay Sky to watch it...

[@James-gs9qf]

You could see he was losing his train of thought after the guy threatened him but he did exceptionally well to keep it going. He is on a completely different level. I had to stop watching halfway through and book tickets to Vs man wolf.

[@ptj767]

he handlef it great...

[@mysteryjet2007]

I give this the thumbs up

[@solipsismworld]

Much better (IMO) than Snowflake/Tornado

[@bushcraftadventure5215]

Agreed and I saw snowflake/tornado live. This is more like his old stuff. I loved 'content provider' as well.

[@storytimeforgrowndups6052]

Given that he's doing material from 1989, he's literally doing his old stuff!!! Lol!

[@goldentundra]

I have watched this a few times, so I have started using it to go to sleep. That McD add always disturbs me though. Like their 'food.'
