22374 Stewart Lee: Content Provider
What did you lads think of ARE STEW's new special?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bdcnwq/stewart-lee-content-provider

Watching it now, he does seem to repeat himself a little less, but I'm only half way through.

I didn't make it to the interval. I just can't bear to sit through the same old tired material again. I am also coming to hate the character of Stewart Lee, but probably not in the way that the performer Stewart Lee intended.

I was going to record this but I remembered how boring the comedy vehicle was and didn't bother.

I fell asleep watching it. But I'd already seen it live this year so no loss.

Better than his last couple but he really is just going over the same routine ad-nauseam.

Yeah I don't get ARE STEW anymore. I'm not sure if he's playing an aging, paunchy bore ironically, or that's just him now.

I used to be in a band, and we didn't rehearse very much. When people came up to us saying it sounded a bit ropey we would tell them that was part of the act. Are Stew is very much just doing the same thing.

The interesting part is that he's very deliberately self aware about it, and plays on it in the act. I think part of him is rather cynically exploiting the "metropolitan liberal elite" who keep coming to see him, and he directly attacks his snobbish audience during this show.

He all but admits he's sinmply putting on an act Guardian reading ponces will enjoy in order to pay his mortgage, and thanks to the way he's cultivated the image, even being so blasé about it does him no harm.

Well imagine my shock.

Jesus Christ, that review was stupid enough to make me actually like ARE STEW's special.
