S2E4 9.2
Stand Up

The Bafta-nominated Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle returns for a second series of six intelligent and witty bites at modern life with arguably one of Britain's finest stand-up comedians at the helm. Each episode sees Stewart explore a different aspect of our world in a hilarious stand-up routine performed to a crowd at London's Mildmay Club. Whatever the topic - charity, London, charity again (because he got sidetracked the first time), stand-up comedy, identity or democracy - Stewart addresses it with razor sharp wit, using every argument at his disposal to convey his point. This is Stewart Lee at his masterful best.
