Watching the big lad in the black shirt move slowly through disbelief, horror, nascent hostility and finally comedic acceptance was the emotional core of this performance, which of course was why it was edited in - because Lee has so little faith in us that we need visual cues to understand the bit's success on a minute-by-minute basis. Great man.

And I thought to myself "Stewart Lee has let his elf go".

You must have had this mixed up with the story of Robert the Bruce fighting the English under the walls of Minas Tirit. As we well remember, Robert the Bruce wasn't doing too well against the English under the walls of Minas Tirit, so he fled the battlefield and carme into a cave where he saw a spider trying to leap from one piece of rock to another. The spider tried it once and failed, tried a second time and failed. Then the spider tried a third time and succeeded. So instead of going back to the battlefield, Robert the Bruce turned himself into a giant spider and tried to kill Frodo by wrapping him up in his giant gooey web. But Sam intervened with the glowing elf cristal to free Frodo, and when the fight was done, Robert the Bruce had let him and Sam go.
Over the years I've watched this more than two dozen times and still laugh out loud every time I see it. Along with Stuarts delivery the straight faced bearded guy in the audience just has me rolling on the floor laughing.

It's Irn Bru. I think I've detected another American. Since the mid-19th century, the OED says, there has been “a growing tendency” in Scotland to abandon the adjective “Scotch” in favor of “Scottish” or “Scots.” In the interest of civility, forms involving Scotch are best avoided in reference to people; designations formed with Scots are most common (Scot, Scotsman, or Scotswoman), but those involving the full form Scottish are sometimes found in more formal contexts.

Robin Hood did not exist. So he was kind of a Quantum gay hero, perhaps..

....William Wallace your national hero... I don't think Stewart Lee has topped this performance.

Cracking routine from Mr. Lee. As a scotchman myself I find this thoroughly offensive which will lead me to invent new expletives within an invective of rage. Cheers Stewart and all the best. 👍😎

It is good to see people taking a roasting and taking it in good humour.

As a comedy promoter i thought Stewart Lee was epic in this, he trolled them hard. Some of them didn't know what to think, and that's Stuarts Style. You'll never have it easy with him and if he thinks you are having it easy, he'll tear everything up and ruin everything...lol.....The Audience were outstanding for allowing Stewart to play his character. What a great crowd....A comics dream in fact. In some places pulling that joke off is like doing the aristocrats joke at snowflake pride convention. Well done everyone.

I've seen loads of his stuff on the telly and on KZbin. I thought I knew what to expect. I then saw him live at Warwick University. He had me convinced his set was going very badly wrong. It became more and more uncomfortable until it got so absurd, it was obvious he had to be trolling us. I felt so dumb for doubting him. Just genius.

Fearless and fierce! We French love Scotland and you guys should feel proud of inspiring such great comedy.

This was a brillaiant show that was enthusiastically enjoyed by the inclusive and diversity loving Glaswegian audience. It was, however, Stewart Lee's last public appearance due to him having an unfortunate accident in a back alley just after he left the theatre.

I love that he likes the challenge of winning over the audience. And doesn't care if people like him or not. He is not there to please you he is doing his art and if you don't like it then you can leave.
