Stewart Lee - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Snowflake
Bafta award-winning comedian Stewart Lee performs one half of his tour show, filmed live at York Theatre Royal in May 2022.
In this hour, Lee tackles cancel culture, free speech, identity politics, and being ‘woke', all from the position of being a self-confessed ‘snowflake'.
He takes on millionaire comedians baying for attention by pretending to be ‘cancelled', considers how it isn't actually possible to ‘say the unsayable', and argues free speech can't always be entirely free, with the help of some selected quotes from writer and author Tony Parsons. And there's a song.
Tornado
Bafta-winning comedian Stewart Lee performs the second half of his tour show, filmed live at York Theatre Royal in May 2022.
'Reports of sharks falling from the sky are on the rise again, and no one on the Eastern Seaboard is safe'. So went the Netflix description for a listing of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, Lee's Bafta-winning BBC TV series from 2016. Rather than being corrected, the description stayed like that for 2 years.
It is this small but significant mistake that puts Lee on a journey of self-discovery as he considers a world that doesn't seem to care that The Times described him as 'the world's greatest living stand-up'.
Along the way, he tries to become friends with other stand-ups, receives a puzzlingly positive review from Alan Bennett, and gets up close and personal with US superstar comedian Dave Chappelle's security detail.
