Oh Mr Lee Mr Lee, oh Mr Lee
Some facts about Stewart Lee:
1. Unnervingly, for a man who seemed to be absolutely at his comedy peak three or four years ago, he has gone up another level and become truly dazzling. (Feel free to pass on the rumour that he destroyed Level Boss Richard Pryor in order to attain these heights. And that you saw him carrying the massive commemorative mushroom onto the 236 bus.)
2. Despite his stage persona once having been vehemently anti-children, to the extent where he would liken babies to leaking jam smeared bags filled with bile, blood, excrement and urine, he has a toddler son. Absolutely in line with his long-standing love of music with bite and power, his son’s middle name is Stagger.
3. He is recording his new TV show this week, and I have two spare tickets for tonight for those inclined. It will be at the Mildmay Club, in Newington Green (N16 9PR). The venue opens at 6.45pm, and that is when I shall be a-queuing. You will need to be there by 7.30pm in order to get in to the recording, but earlier is safer as they always over-subscribe such shows so as to fill out a room. Lemme know.
