Stewart Lee knows the rigours of ‘animal costume work’ and why great comedy is about shock

[@seoirseosial]

I love Stewart Lee. His delivery is impeccable. He gives it to you straight, like pear cider, made from 100 per cent pears.

[@JeanneJames]

What a lovely conversation. I've been watching Stewart Lee, and going to his gigs since he started his work. He's always a breath of fresh air in a rancid world. Thank you Wolfman,

[@LaughingboyMox]

He's so beyond the curve. His analysis of comedy and self consciousness is brilliant.

[@garyrigby21]

Stewart Lee, Jerry Sadowitz, Chris Morris, Peter Cook my Comedy heroes

[@mookie2637]

Agree, but with the addition of Milligan and Seinfeld/Sanders.

What about Tom O'Connor?

Wrong. Bill Hicks is at the top of any comedy list, which should also include Brody Stevens, Harry Hill, and John " Pigeons in Flight " Shuttleworth. You're welcome.

I saw the Wombles in Torquay, probably on the same tour. They played at the 400 Club under-18s night to a crowd of rowdy unfriendly aggressive teenagers. When the band came back on stage for the obligatory encore, they had to walk through the crowd to the stage, those poor Wombles were kicked and punched all the way. It was rumoured Madame Cholet got caught stealing a case of Vodka from the cellar. Happy Days. I also have some funny stories about the Fall at Elephant Fare.

Only a couple of days ago I watched his last interview with you (done two years ago, I've got a lot of catching up to do on this channel!) , and here he is again! Great!! A very tuned in bloke, Mr Lee.

[@richardichard4237]

He's not tuned in at all actually. Just opinionated with a naive blind political bias. He really has no idea.... But yeah, he can be funny, when he's not being morbidly obese....

[@annehebert510]

Stewart Lee couldn’t get arrested even if he was the one making the arrest…he’d let himself go.

I saw what you did there.

Unbelieveably one appearance of the Wombles on Top of The Pops had Steeleye Span in the costumes.

[@PaulShendtown]

Stewart Lee there perpetuating the myth that Chris Spedding played on Never Mind The Bollocks. A slip of the tongue I'm sure but what he - as a knowledgeable music historian - obviously meant to say was that Chris Spedding produced the first Sex Pistols demo.

@TheVicar Thanks for giving it to me straight!

[@pulchralutetia]

I find Stewart Lee's incisive, sardonic, self-aware, politically-correct parodic monologues preternaturally imbued with meaning. By that I mean I really dig his idiot-savant Weltanschauung.

Most interesting and funny until he blamed the right for culture wars..how he works that out l don't know. His opinion and he's entitled to it though.

[@Theactivepsychos]

Because they’re the ones who invent three TV stations dedicated to the job of “fighting the culture war”. Keep up petal.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

Because the right are to blame for culture wars. They do this to divide people, sow confusion about the real issues and distract from their own failings. They are an absolute disgrace with their nasty, hateful and vindictive manipulation of emotions by targeting the vulnerable in society for their own ends.

[@TheVicar]

Thanks for the final full stop We knew the pain would end after that

[@Harrier_DuBois]

Culture wars are a wedge issue that the establishement elites use to divide the working class. It is not the left pushing these ideas, the left are a lot more concerned with economics. Here is an example, Jordan Peterson, made his whole career ranting about authoritarian leftist culture wars policies that don't actually exist. Now he is a cult leader, and probably a millionaire, yet no one is forcing us to use non gendered pro-nouns, no one is forcing mixed bathrooms on us, it was all a load of hot air.

[@Harrier_DuBois]

The reason Peterson's narrative is so pervasive is because the tech bros, who own the social media companies, also think like Peterson - or more likely they see the dollar signs. Their opinions then trickle down since they control the platforms that so many people use. Why they want us divided? Because then the rich get richer and poor get f'd.
