A new full length touring show from the acclaimed star of BBC2’s Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle. “The funniest thing on television” The Guardian

What can a sexless middle aged married man, whose life now consists mainly of watching Scooby Doo cartoons with a four year old boy, possibly find to write comedy about? Formerly stand-up’s youthful iconoclast, Lee now gawps blankly at News 24 as Britain burns down around him, and blinks weirdly at the vast wayside retail outlets during endless journeys to and from increasingly indistinct provincial theatres. Once he lived on the pleasure planet. Now he is trapped in Carpet Remnant World.  And so are you. “Superlative” ***** Metro”Marvellously funny: mordant, thoughtful and crafted” Observer “Superbly crafted, counterintuitive entertainment” ***** artsdesk **** Guardian**** Evening Standard”Flabby and irrelevant” Frankie Boyle”Thrilling” Metro *****”Fascinating, funny stuff” The Times **** “Heralds a new brand of political stand-up” The Guardian **** “Lee’s glittering rants blend cynicism, vanity and unbearable snobbery.” Guy Stagg, Daily Telegraph”a deeply unpleasant slimepit of bitterness” Jan Moir, Daily Mail”I’ve always thought of Stewart Lee’s comedy as doing the opposite of what really good comedy should do”  Toby Young, The Spectator”about as funny as bubonic plague”  The Sun
