Stewart Lee’s Top Comedy Picks Event Bristol Slapstick 2021 (FULL)

[@ByteMe619]

I never expected a member of the Amish community to be so knowledgeable on British comedy

[@tikaanipippin]

Amish? I thought he was Gnomish!

[@graybollocks]

That member of the Amish community has let himself go.

[@Magicalfluidprocess]

@@graybollocks I was gonna say that 😂

[@misell349]

Stewart Lee’s let himself go. (Not a callback, just saying).

[@M3au]

Eli Schmucker has let himself go …

[@kethughes8266]

I never expected the captain of a whaling ship to be so knowledgeable on British comedy.

[@as7825]

Brilliant 😂

[@pappachook]

Spat my drink there.

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

For most British people the greatest comedy moment is when Del Boy falls through the bar and trigger makes a face

[@TNJX]

we know that's stew's favourite bit of slapstick!

[@pseudonayme7717]

In fairness that is David Jason's finest moment. That is in spite of the fact that he has been amazing in a multitude of things. PS Yes I am aware you are quoting a bit from Stew😛

[@tussk.]

not really. when people get asked what thier favourite comedy moment is, they think its a quiz and that the bar scene is the right answer. ask them who the best singer ever was and they'll go 'Oh, I know. its Frank Sinatra, isnt it?' theyre too afraid to give thier opinion in case it's 'wrong.

[@PaoloLery]

To be fair it was funny at the time. They did go on about it a tiny bit though.

[@Smittumi]

I see what you did there.

[@S7EVE_P]

Cant think of anything better than drinking wine and talking to Stewart Lee. Enjoyed this, thanks for uploading.

[@MrBaronCabron]

I was just about to comment this. I'd love to just go through different bits of comedy with him, this is as close as a lot of us will get unfortunately!

[@merfymac]

What about drinking wine and fucking Stewart Lee?

[@LordMarlle]

The sight and sound of Stewart Lee laughing is one of the most endearing things I can think off. Thank you good sir, for the steady abundance of mirth I've been gifted

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

Such an enjoyable couple of hours. It made my bath-time and saved me from ruining yet another paperback.

[@glis83]

Stewart Lee’s let his beard grow.

[@altmilan]

15:00 stroking his beard, lol

[@frankiefugazi]

Very Good 😁

[@CoLD.SToRAGE]

Best comment! 😂

[@matthewstone1362]

A fine work

[@kdcyp]

I can’t believe that part way thru he actually did say that at one stage in his life he’d “let himself go” and not realized what he’d said 🙄😂

[@bonnie43uk]

Thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours of chat and excellent clips.. the cricket for foreigners was my particular highlight 44:52 What a gem.

[@Spirit-Of-The-Age]

Agreed, absolutely brilliant find. Up there with any top 5 Monty Python / Spike Milligan sketches

[@zetetick395]

It really felt like the vibe that Mitchell and Webb took on with their 'snooker commentators' skits later as well XD

[@menace2society456]

Stewart looks comfortable asf, absolute boss.

[@branstonpickle9055]

That was great and I loved being introduced to lots of “new” (for me) comedy. Have loved both these guys over the years. This was so easy to listen to as well, unlike some other similar podcasts. Thanks guys.

[@TheRealRobG]

Stewart, you're less than a year older than me - now I feel like the old man of the bloody sea. Thanks for that.

[@niallkennedy23]

michael j foxes dad, after he turned into a werewolf in the hit film "teenwolf" has let himself go.

[@elloello_erm]

1:58:15 onwards is absolute art.

[@visigothic67]

Lovely to hear two English comics acknowledge Rod Quantock during the Johnny Vegas bit. That man was a revelation on Australian TV with 'Australia You're Standing In It'.

[@drumgold23]

What an unexpected treat. Utterly delightfull

[@BrokenNoseBoxing]

2 of my favourite stand ups!

[@TheRealRobG]

Mr Pastry - best impression of Boris Johnson I’ve ever seen. Well before his time.

[@ribenasquash]

Stuart Lee looks like an enthusiast for antique Victorian toys and kitchen appliances and Robin Ince looks like a newborn robin who’s just been startled from a peaceful slumber.

[@mattyartell9575]

I asked a question in about drummer recommendations during the live event, and my tiny brain forgot to write down the answers! Glad to have come across this again to recover them

[@thealexanderbond]

Jesus Christ, Oleksiy Novikov, the world's strongest man, has really let himself go!

[@christopherkearney3869]

🙄

[@merrymonarch]

Remind me of Michael Eavis

[@_BatCountry]

Bloody hell, Jacob Hochstetler, 18th Century folk hero, has really let himself go

[@paultreneary]

Mr Lethimselfgo has let himself go

[@louiseck4861]

Hahahahaaaaa

[@djcsdy2]

Blimey, Brian Blessed has let himself go. The Quaker Oats man has let himself go. Legendary game developer Jeff Minter has let himself go. A scrap of cloth tangled in a hatstand has let himself go.

[@onlythebiggesthitsoneleano8461]

Rubeus Hagrid has let himself go.

[@craigmartin8766]

Stew hates the Quakers 👀

[@attentionaddicts]

Captain Birdseye has let himself go

[@attentionaddicts]

Jeff from Byker Grove has let himself go

[@sammL19]

Any of the hobbits from the hobbit has let himself go

[@InnerFury]

Big fan of Stewart Lee, does brilliantly written and performed shows, this was very fun and informative, happy to hear he enjoys performing in Scotland, welcome any time :)

[@ianafloat9250]

Well as we all know he is scotch.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HD41117]

Oh my god this is so wonderful. Thanks, guys.

[@highdownmartin]

Very much enjoyed this. I remember laughing till I cried the first time I saw spike as Brunhilda blowing raspberry’s. And it’s a very catchy tune.

[@GlobalEnglishSupernaturals]

Stewart Lee, the best comedian ❤️

[@SlapstickFestival]

He is one of the greats!

[@russelledwards001]

Top 200 easily.

[@Novice2Nature]

@@russelledwards001 199 Russell’s then Stuart Lee

[@lindymorrison1]

Fantastic podcast. LEE hilarious humour as he delivers so much intelligence about stand up, comedians, film, and now drummers! Hans Bennink brilliant, thank you..

[@SlapstickFestival]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DMEB]

This has given me the boost to go outside today. A pint needed after this.

[@foolishness6261]

I love every moment of this.

[@thekrystalmoore]

I love that audio of the Hopi clown stuff. I've listened it to it several times. It's one of the most inspirational things I've heard. Sent me farther down the rabbit hole of clown philosophy than I certainly expected I'd go. I ended up doing comedy shows in clown at people's curbsides all they the pandemic. The sacred clown got us all they that year... And it's still with me. I'm glad to be back on stage in regular clothes but I love getting booked for the clown comedy. It's my favorite.

[@adb9231]

That was great. Thank you, really enjoyed. Such a shame that so many of the selected clips were pulled though.

[@bobadams7654]

I loved the repetition of the text panels. Brilliant.

[@nickodonnell3155]

Great job. Some of my own favourites in there. I’ve got my dad to thank for encouraging me and my brother and sisters to listen to ISIRTA and other radio comedy and then on into the Q series and on and on and on. Great stuff. Thanks.

[@thebagelsproductions]

The Dutch cricket parody is amazing 😂😂 the commentary is spot on

[@Harrier_DuBois]

Guillermo Del Toro has let himself go, George RR Martin has let himself go, a dutch farmer has let himself go, Genghis Khan has let himself go

[@christieyoung1272]

Fred Durst has let himself go. The luck dragon from Never Ending Story has let himself go. The Amish have let themselves go.

[@mikepurdy1738]

Captain Ahab, Ricky Tomlinson and Dr Mopp from Camberwick Green have all let themselves go

[@petercolledge2236]

On a side note, guys, Milligan was wounded at the battle for Monte Cassino, one of the most brutal episodes in WWII. But always love Stew and whatever he proposes.

[@tetsuoshima7385]

Wow, didn’t know that.👌🏻 My Pop (Grandfather) also fought that battle.

[@onlyme219]

I enjoyed that, made me smile and think. Like pear cider

[@GlobalEnglishSupernaturals]

Santa’s gnome helper should be getting on with making toys rather than coming over here and enjoying half a bottle of red whilst letting himself go!

[@atomiccritter6492]

That Dutch (?) clip about sports could very easily have fitted in to Big Train sketch show

[@louistracy6964]

Yes, great you mentioned Ken Campbell.

[@samuelhumphrey5908]

This is like watching Stewart Lee on his 80th. All that wisdom flowing like white follicles.

[@BixRibene]

Seeing Johnny Vegas at Up The Creek way back then in those flairs with that potter's wheel... magic!

17:16

[@portaccio]

Thanks! I was looking for this comment.

[@MagicAudioBean]

Nice to see Paul Currie get a mention. I live near Belfast and managed to see his performance by accident at some event our band was gigging at also. Really is a happening

[@rowanmorrison7022]

To think I was feeling sorry for myself having a Friday night in on my own earlier, ended up having a great time! Thanks Stew and Robin, that was so much fun xx Got better as the wine flowed too, highly recommend drinking along watching this. Reminded me of watching that Naked Gun with a lad I was seeing many moons ago, I was in hysterics at that scene and he was stony faced and judgemental throughout. I broke up with him after. Good call past me.

[@napalmslayer]

You broke up with him for not laughing at the scene? Was it immediately afterwards?

[@rowanmorrison7022]

@@napalmslayer Not immediately no, it was a culmination of things. Feel silly talking about this now, tipsy youtube commenting is never a good idea!

[@johnpett9473]

Enjoying a David Lynch film then looking around at the frustrated and puzzled faces of some people surrounding makes it that much better.

[@zetetick395]

Stew is really fantastic in "Word in your Attic" Podcast (which is about sharing in the guests lifelong love of music) - Really great stuff!

[@HD41117]

Additionally, I'd just like to say, what the hell is all this, "we're about to run out of time" shit. There is too much of THE UNIONS in you, chaps, and sometimes it's just best to let it go. This is one of the most important and, yes, enjoyable discourses on the history of not only slapstick comedy but *comedy*... /COMEDY/, gentlemen, ever recorded. Robin, we should have retained the Freddy Starr clip. We should have. Nonetheless I am so very grateful for the 2:10:02 you did upload. I feel so very fortunate to be able to witness it. Apologies Henning. And Germans. Many thanks.

[@adamsubtract81]

I love that Drunken Master was mentioned

[@atomiccritter6492]

oh Jackie is obviously a physical performer but I didnt find it funny at all

[@mattelliottmusic]

It was a real shame copyright removed the footage. But a great interview none the less

[@tubenube]

What was the sketch? I can’t find it on snl channel.

[@anthonywebber1155]

The only things this interview taught me is just how funny Stewart Lee really is, and that Robin Ince likes Samuel Beckett.

[@jurysout1]

A great couple of hours. Most people celebrate their sixteenth birthday by underage drinking with friends, taking drugs, dancing or, if they are lucky, spending quality physical time with their chosen romantic partner. For my sixteenth, I went to see Max Wall's one-man show at the Shaw Theatre in London. Back in the 80s I ended up performing for too many years on the comedy circuit and shared bills with some hugely talented acts - including the two people on this video - but none came close to Max Wall.

[@louistracy6964]

Not too many years, sure they were worth it.

[@mikeforte1]

Really enjoying this..! Mister Pastry was a regular favourite with my family... Did you know that he had a pet goldfish that sang (burbled) 'I'm dreaming of a white Christmas'...?

[@KeepOffTheBorderlands]

Why is he wearing an Uncle Bulgaria costume?

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

That Jackie Chan scene where he's being swarmed by guys in identical suits is 1000 times more exciting than the The Matrix "burly brawl" with all the CGI Agent Smith's swarming Neo.

[@YTispartofproblem]

Liked this a lot, especially Mr Pastry 👍😏

[@SpencerF6]

Loved this. So many tangents that this has lead me on to other youtube content! I started watching this weeks ago. Since then I've watched countless other comedians on here and even been to see Mr Lee at the Bush Hall, my first time!!

[@michealjones9863]

Is Stewart lee ever going to finish game of thrones? 😂 love the new look Stewart

[@therub2191]

17:18 :D

[@nopants4259]

I suppose I'm meant to say;" Father Christmas has let himself go"

[@kaffraraffin3574]

Thank you. LOVE THIS!

[@markross2426]

Please come back to Watford Stewart!

[@portland-182]

Nordberg was played by Peter Lupus in Police Squad, he was probably best known for playing Willy Armitage in Mission Impossible.

[@pseudonayme7717]

Ahh, Police Squad! So fn good

[@MrJordanOrdinary]

My favourite comedy moment is from this podcast when Robin says "Let's have a look at Mr Pastry" and with perfect timing KZbin cut to an advert of a very sombre Ben Stiller talking about the war in Ukraine.

[@anti-duhringbattalion4801]

Good recovery there Robin. That was a real nuisance having that Mastermind Trophy in front of the camera. Some people are real idiots the way they just leave things around like that!

[@padbrit]

Well enjoyed having to go and find clips cause they have been blocked.

[@scottfarrell1906]

Stewart Lee looking like Great Uncle Bulgaria.

[@plebjames]

The no-tash big white beard combo makes it looks like Stu's face is sat on a sofa

[@jonathanfireeatrer]

What's the name of the podcast about Spike Milligan's war books at 36:15 ?

[@mungomidge1090]

Nice to see them getting out, even though they're in.

[@margaretgaskin4928]

I remember Mr Pastry from kids' TV and saw Billy Dainty on stage. Also Denny Willis The Fox has left his Lair. Both worth looking for on KZbin.

[@garyrigby21]

27.40 he's just resting on his Laurel

[@YnseSchaap]

Stewart went all garden gnome 😁

[@kernowarty]

I like the comedy dog ears Stewart is wearing here.

36:08 Stew mentions doing a podcast with Spike Milligan's daughter and two military historians: I think it's this kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHrZYY2Pe8dpi5Y

[@HD41117]

Nice one, thanks!

[@davidhaswell5789]

The bit about Fleabag pioneering the look at the camera and going back in time is hillaious.

[@ThePlacatorySock]

When is the Pie in the Sky reboot happening?

[@NeilTaylor1]

Excellent interview. Unfortunately, King Rocker doesn't seem to be available on any platform in Hong Kong - even on NOW TV, so I'll just have to wait until someone rips it off and posts it on KZbin.

[@darrenwilson99]

Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes has let himself go.

[@AdjustableSquelch]

When did Stewart come out as Amish? :) on a serious note what was that podcast with him and one of Spike's daughters? Would love to listen to that. Whatever is left of Q is out on DVD now (but for shame they missed There's a lot of it about which should have been Q10).
