Stewart Lee | Sue Perkins Channel

[@Yossarian.]

I first met Stewart Lee at the local sperm donors. As he left the cubicle with cup in hand, he passed me his copy of Razzle and recommended a story in the readers wives section, he said it had hidden depths, duality of meaning and a plot twist that he didn't see coming; right up until he did. Absolute Gentleman.

I met Stewart Lee in 1945, when i was demobbed from the Army, after 40 glorious years in the 12th Somerset Cider Regiment. He told me that he'd been entertaining the troops in North Africa and had just flown home that afternoon. When i asked if his arms were tired, he told me the three different ways that that joke wasn't funny, each in an entertaining, but sarcastic manner. Truly educational.

I recently saw him live with my friends Alan and Claire and we didn't like how he said things rather than jokes and and then repeated other things and I sensed that the rest of the audience felt the same way, they didn't find him funny but many of them agreed with the things he was saying

I loved Stewart’s take on being a shop owner at his gigs. I find it hilarious that he leg’s it down the aisle to open up before the punters get there ! I was privileged to see his show “ content provider “ and went to “the shop” when I mentioned I came from Sydney not with the sole purpose of seeing the show however, this was a big part of the trip……he gave me a DVD to say thanks! He comes across as a very kind man , and if you can have that said about you then that’s something to be very proud of. Cheers Stew

I actually met Stewart Lee a couple of years ago at an art “drawing” class in North London. While producing his drawings I noticed that he favoured using these green coloured black rollerball pens! …….an absolute Pental fan!

[@u_brain]

I first met Stewart Lee when he entered a talent contest in a children's play centre in London's East End. His 10 minute set contained 3 Marlboroughs and the revelation that his ex girlfriend's mother was in fact real (not a flimsily concocted comedy vehicle such as Bob Monkhouse and Les Dawson's mothers in law) and this, he suggested, should be reason enough that we, the audience respect him. Being children of the 60's we're fairly easily led so we went along with it. The clapometer allowed him to skulk off into the night with the accolade of [joint] first place which would appear to be all the encouragement he needed to give it another go - I wonder, has he done any more stuff since then, or is it still the same 10 minutes of material being trotted out? Seemed like a nice enough lad.

I did a search for Stewart Lee on KZbin and came across a funeral held in Australia for a man of his name. At first I thought it was a spoof, complete with ozzie accents, and made a comment about pear cider, made with 100% pear...s. Others had made comments about Lee really letting himself go this time. Then, I realized another Stewart Lee had met his end down under. This one is still going. I felt relieved but I didn't remove my comment.

Love the way Stuart repeats himself over and over in a theme in his set, use of pauses and then does it again but slightly different. He does it until we all reach our own point of having to laugh out loud. Like being tickled until we give in. Sue talks about this with him in the interview.

[@fivish]

Every comedian uses pauses and repetition as well as the ubiquitous welcome and 'where are you from?'. Covers for a lack of material to fill the slot.

@4th Lensman of the apocalypse Jim Jeffries is okay (not good, just okay), if you judge him fairly: that is, by not comparing him to Stewart Lee, which is like comparing a pear soda to a pear cider made of 100% pears.

I thought this was a great interview carried out by Sue Perkins. I thought she managed to allow Stewart Lee to talk more expansively about certain areas than I'd heard before. I also got a sense of the close relationship they have without Sue doing what could so easily be done and make it either about the interviewer or so esoteric between interviewer and interviewee as to be impenetrable to the listener. It doesn't hurt that I find both to be funny people as well as great performers but that doesn't always come across in podcast or radio which I thought it really did here. Great job, Sue. I really got a lot from this. Cheers

I first met Stewart at the Dr Who museum, which was supposed to resemble the Tardis which was known to be much bigger on the inside, unfortunately since Stewart had let himself go so much it had the opposite effect and it made the space feel really small. I'm just glad it wasn't a real police box or he may not have fitted out the door again, although to be fair that scenario would imply he wouldn't have got in the door in the first place. Either way, he is not very well equipped to be a time lord, so I hope the BBC never consider that idea.

Lee was at least lucky to run into an informed audiologist. Most are way behind the research on tinnitus, which is for most people probably caused not by audio insult but by stress and trauma and phsyical strain having chronic effects on the jaw and neck. Many can get some mitigation, not a cure, by working with a physical therapist on these areas of the body, and working on relaxation, posture, and healthy stretching on their own. This is a rare instance in which a disproportionately male health problem is extremely poorly addressed by the relevant professions.
