In the country

Stewart Lee’s comedy vehicle is back on BBC2 for a second series and it is an absolute joy. Lee’s delivery and material is taking comedy to that place where the likes of Hicks and Pryor took us. The influence of Armando Iannucci and Chris Morris is there in the surreal elements and the head to heads between Lee and Iannucci are barbed with ferocious wit.

He has spoken of his Grandfather's obsession with Crisps, Russel Howard's charity work, Toby Jugs full of steaming hot urine and other off the wall issues.

The waty he interacts with his crowd and by turns with the TV audience is a great example of juggling the reality of performance.

Above all he's funny; very funny. This series opf Comedy vehicle has a dark edge and with the end 'sketch' of each show takes matters beyond the joke.

This is a show that anyone tired of the mundane performances by the Russel's and other stdium comedians should check out. Intelligent comedy, well made, well delivered and with a punch.

Charity-5:16 ***

well they said that-Stewart Lee

'When Martin Luther King saw racism in 1960s America, he called it out in the strongest, most visionary, eloquent terms possible. Martin Luther King said;


“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.”

And when Russell Brand saw racism in his place of work, Big Brother, Russell Brand said;

“Oooh! There’s been some bad racism and stuff going down today, and no mistake, my liege. It’s made Mr. Winky go right small it has. Oh yes it has, oh yeah. And my ballbag, my old ballbag, has only gone up my bum. Here’s H from Steps.”
