Stewart Lee at the Dome tonight

[Tarpon]

Thought the first half was excellent but that he went for cheaper/easier laughs in the second & the show suffered a bit for it. Took someone who wasn't particularly a fan and they had a great night. 8/10

 

[MattBackHome]

Very possibly. The 2 mates I went with who got me a ticket, were pissing themselves throughout. So he knows his audience! Overall, not my cup of tea.

I love this

Saw him in Guildford a couple of nights back. Hilarious. He did a bit on "Radio Patagonia", which was unusually just plain silly for him and had me in tears.

Very, very good. Was the heckler a plant? I thought his response was brilliant and typically atypical.

Yeah, strange one that, going on about his old man having cancer (I think), very random and well dealt with. Really liked the Paraguay bit, his constant banging on about UKIP got a bit tiresome.

What happened?

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

What happened?

Some bloke shouted out it was disgusting cos his old man has cancer (I think). Completely random and seemed to be unrelated to anything SL had said. The put down was pretty good.

What was the put-down?

 

[British Grenadier]

What was the put-down?

The put down was like p*ss off a grandad's face *

It was my favourite part of the show, he spent two or three minutes telling the guy there's a thing called youtube and that he could have done a bit of research on who he was going to see. Then saying to him that it was too late to change his material as he has a wife and children and there just wasn't enough time for him to write new material.

*in show joke.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Thoroughly enjoyed last nights show. From the muslim reading 50 shades of grey, to his critique of the audiences reaction to the joke was brilliant. His monologue about his England flags did make me chuckle about a few people on here to be honest. Enjoyed the many levels to the show, from the almost slapstick, to the dissection of the comedian's relationship with their audience. Great stuff.

Here's the heckler bit. Best use of the word 'bespoke' I've ever heard.

[Hugh'sDad]

Anyone else going?

Genius or smug, arrogant, middle-class, 'trendy' prick?

All of the above......shine has gone off him a bit in my mind (and I have seen him twice).

 

[Machiavelli]

Went last night, the third time I've seen him. There were some good moments, but this was weak in comparison. He stretched out too many pieces, there wasn't quite so much going on, and some of the bits were too obviously repetitive and predictable; the second half wasn't as good as the first either. Thumbs up for the bit about comedians' anxiety though.

I loved his bit about wanting to perform just to his 'real' fans, them not laughing at anything, just shaking their heads muttering 'thats not really worked'...

 

[Bold Seagull]

Snowflake / Tornado on iPlayer at present. Hilarious.

 

[Comrade Sam]

My favourite stand up comedian and the only one I've seen more than once (5 times). Got my 14 year old daughter to watch Snowflake on BBC iPlayer, now she's Hooked.

 

[Grizz]

Saw him the other week in London for the first time and have to say I was disappointed. Ok, so he was high as a kite after breaking his ankle, so may have not got the full authentic Lee experience, but just didn't find it funny. It was drawn out, haphazard, no real cohesion to the show, the gurneying was weird, definitely not the show I was expecting. That's ok though, lots of people in the audience did, bloke behind us was in hysterics.

Are you a fan generally?

His stuff often seems disjointed and if you're not in the mood for it, it can be painful to watch.
I half-watched Snowflake the other day and thought it was becoming a bit samey and formulaic.
That might have been due to the fact that I wasn't really focussed on it.

I'm always prepared to give Lee a second chance, as he is (in my eyes) a genius.

Sounds like you got the authentic Lee experience to me.

Genius. The Crapstone/Shittaton phone sketch is comedy gold
