This show is from a previous year's festival

The first ever work-in-progress shows towards Stew’s next touring show will feature things being read off bits of paper and that’s all.

“Stewart Lee makes stand-up and almost moral pursuit., predicting an audience’s reaction (or lack of it), to his material in a way that makes the usual (and more popular) stand-ups seem crude and obvious. He’s fearless, undeterred by an audience’s failure to respond, even welcoming it so he can analyse it, tracking down the missing laugh until the audience laughs at itself. Erving Goffman would have liked Stewart Lee, though the more accessible material put out by other (and more vapid) stand-ups derives in part from Goffman’s observation of small behaviour. Stewart Lee is the J.L. Austin of what is now a rather sloppy profession.” Alan Bennet, London Review of Books

Restoration Levy – £1.50 of the advertised on-sale ticket price goes to Machynlleth Comedy Festival for the continued development and improvement of the event.
