He’s a genius and so am I because I like him.

These days, if you say topical economic jokes, they throw you in arenas for 35 years.

[nathanmarsh]

Best stand up of his generation and one the finest of all time.

[ClockCommunist]

Coming over here, with your topical jokes. We’ve got PUNISHING EXPERIMENTAL STAND-UP.

"Playing the room as its dealt". Love it!!!

[graemehortin]

He keeps speaking the truth. This is why he continues (35 ys) to play small rooms with economical tickets and an audience of undergraduates who soak up his boring bile.
Love his stuff.

When I have nightmares during the day, Stewart Lee is in them.

[roberthowes]

That gag had me sold. If I wrote that I would still be amusing myself in the joke study.

[pappy]

Freddie Starr has really let himself go.

Stewart Lee's description of 'the office world man' is still, to me, the most strange and creative string of sentences I have ever heard in stand up comedy. It's more bizarre than any fever or cheese influenced nightmare that I can think of. Those who know, know and I urge any fan of lee that hasn't seen it to check it out immediately.

[Harani]

He's finished saying that now. i wonder what he'll say next

[pennyrushton]

Massive fan of Stewart. Brain the size of a planet.

[DavidWindows-os]

Hands dowm one of the greats very good 👍👍

I’ve written down Lee’s topical joke to read again tomorrow evening in my private study. I will surely be studying Stewart Lee’s jokes for the foreseeable future. No Daily Mail or Torygraph will see the top of my desk! Maybe The Guardian, but mostly Steward Lee’s topical joke print out’s. Cheers! Garry from Southend-on-Sea

It’s like he’s creating comedy out of punctuation. His commas and hyphens are hilarious.

[cne]

He’s like a comedian but without the comedy bit. Genius

[davewhite]

The comments on this side of the room get it. All you other comments need to raise your game

[dereklawson]

That Stewart Lee has let himself go...

[nutloaf]

Richard Herring's looking pretty well now.

Good to see Philip Schofield found a new career
