Product Description

A recording from Glasgow's Stand Up Club of Lee's hugely acclaimed 2007/8 show that cements his reputation as one of the most masterful stand ups in the world. Comprehensive extras include a 45 minute feature interview with Stewart conducted by Johnny Vegas and Stewart's perfromace at Pestival - 'the international Arts Pestival dedicated to raising awareness of the integral role insects play in the global ecosystem'. ''Lee proves himself, once again, to be the maestro'' The Guardian. ''A masterclass in comedy technique... if there are 40 other stand-ups more masterful than him, you will be hard pushed to think of who they might be'' The Scotsman.

Review

The funniest, most cliché-free comedian on the circuit. --Ricky Gervais

One of the top three or four living stand ups... stand up that should win the Booker Prize. --Time Out

Still as cheerfully heretical, rapturously rhythmic and inspiringly intelligent as a comedian gets. He remains the standard by which his fellow comics must measure themselves. --The Times

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good! 31 July 2008
Excellent dvd from Stewart lee who deserves to be a much bigger star than many of his peers..

As previously mentioned there are a few bits missing from when he did the show live but theres still enough there to keep fans happy including some pretty good extras including an interview & the Pestival gig he performed.

Although i thought it was not as strong as his previous mainstream dvd with so little of his material available on Dvd its a very welcome addition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, funny man 16 Oct 2008
Mr. Lee has been my favourite stand up ever since his first DVD release. I'm not going to give the set away, all I'm going to say is buy it if you like your humour witty, well constructed and with an original twist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but... 29 July 2008
By Robin
I saw this show last year and really enjoyed it. This DVD is more or less exactly the same as the show I saw, but I was a bit disappointed that the "March of the Mallards" intro and "Delboy falling over and Trigg pulling a face" routine were missing which would have taken the gig to 90 minutes. In the extras, the interview with Johnny Vegas is really good - a 45 min serious discussion about the topics in the show - and the extract from his Pesticide gig was another nice extra.

Despite my mild disappointment (and Mallard routine is on youtube)this is a fantastic DVD and well worth adding to your comedy collection.

This is probably the best, stand up show, so far Stewart Lee has done, merely because he is able to portray his take on the world, his frustrations and happiness through comedy. Read more
