DVD Description
"The cleverest, funniest, most cliché-free comedian on the circuit" Ricky Gervais After four years working on Richard Thomas' Jerry Springer - The Opera, Stewart Lee returns to stand-up in search of clarity, self-respect and immediate sensual and intellectual gratification. Captured here for Stewart's first ever live DVD release, Stand Up Comedian documents the strongest set of his career, culminating in a sell-out Spring 2005 tour. See "one of the top three or four living stand-ups" (Time Out) sweat his way through over an hour of smart and subtle bone-dry comedy. Stand-Up Comedian was recorded live in the notoriously comedy-hostile city of Glasgow, where a terrified Des O'Connor once sold advertising space on the soles of his shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!!!, 29 Mar 2006
By D. Cork "Movieguy" (Lawrence, KS) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first saw Stewart Lee on 'Fist of Fun' eleven years ago. Since I've moved to the States and have been bombarded with cruddy sitcoms and revered stand ups who rely on conventional jokes and half-assed impressions it is refreshing to see a comic who derives humor from dissecting all of the monotony and hypocrisy of mainstream culture. Anyone with any degree of affection for the offbeat or the genuinely insightful owes it to themselves to buy this DVD. Even though I live in a culturally deprived country I have a fairly eclectic taste in humor and can honestly herald Stewart Lee as a comic genius above many of his contemporaries. He is the first comedian I have encountered that has genuinely brought comedy into the realm of art, and anyone who has ever heard his 'Pea Green Boat' can attest to this. Buy this DVD, you will NOT be disappointed. You will also wet yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the bunch, 4 Jun 2006
By Damon K. J. Mitchell (Slovakia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had a recent stand up comedy binge and bought this along with DVDs from Jeff Green, Tommy Tiernan and Tim Vine.
This was by far the best (with Jeff and Tommy both providing safe material with a few good laughs to come close second and third and the Tim Vine, not being a true stand up but a cheap gag merchant, coming in last)
Stewart Lee's show has, unlike the others, tempted me back for repeat viewings and kept funny. He takes risks in his choice of topics, twists language in wonderful ways and displays both natural talent and technical proficiency as a comic. Cannot be recommended enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful, 29 Nov 2005
Since his return to stand up a couple of years ago, Stewart Lee has preferred to perform to smaller audiences in independent venues. He has sold pretty much all of these out. This leads to a highly personal and memorable comedy experience and is captured beautifully on this DVD.

There aren't many punchlines and almost no catchphrases but Lee is very, very funny. He tries to do something totally different with stand-up and credits his audience with intelligence and understanding of the medium. His artful delivery and attention to detail make him hypnotic to watch.

In this show, he comes up with ideas guaranteed to alienate his Glasgow audience and yet gets away with it in style.

The only better stand-up show you are likely to witness is his new one, which will also be made into a DVD, hopefully.
