You have to question whether what Lee is doing is even comedy, or some higher art form. He's a genius and so am I because I like him.

[@sallybarker4544]

Stewie is indeed a comedy genius in his own time and space - indeed before his time. I was on the same bill as him in a comedy/music club back in the 80s where he got the ‘hook’ because the organiser’s wife thought he was disrespectful to the audience. Tbh, I wasn’t really listening or watching cos I was too nervous about my own performance so when I was pushed on stage before I was due to be, I was somewhat taken aback. I have only belatedly been able to appreciate his comedy genius. Looking forward to watching this show !
