stewart lee's comedy vehicle

i'd been a fan of stewart lee for a while, but his new TV show on bbc two is so fucking good (i like to swear a lot). it's on the bbc iplayer at the moment and it's a mix of stand up and sketch in one. the first episode was about toilet books, and the second was about television. he's such a witty and inventive comedian with a really unique style which is almost completely ironic. his delivery is absolutely phenomenal and i laugh simply looking at him from time to time

he's an extremely intelligent man and it comes across quite frequently. i think maybe his use of english would annoy some, but if you're a fan of russell brand then he's in the same space in regards to language. his jokes have obviously been so meticulously crafted they're almost not funny at times because they're so so good. it's strange when a comedian can you make you appreciate how damn funny they are rather than actually making you laugh at times

anyone think he looks a bit like Morissey?
