Guest melotronic Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 two things about this week's episode 1. stewart lee began ranting about jack dee and his copying of curb your enthusiasm/moody humour - me and my mates pointed out from episode one lee is clearly doing a jack dee impression in this show, he's dressed in a dee-like way, moans about stuff, even the beginning sequence reminds me of jack dee's happy hour. so as much as i love stewart lee, fucking hell pot kettle black hypocrite. 2. he needs to either stop getting drunk during the show or stop being self-pityingly depressed in a mid-life crisis, watching the old, past-it, fat, grey presenter of a comedy show vocally wishing for death isn't that funny i miss fresh-faced 90s lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls. Although they both share some of the dry wit in delivery, their styles and content of their stand up are utterly different. Whereas Dee generally covers day-to-day moanings about why everything is all so gloomy, Lee (fuck - Dee and Lee what's that all about !) tends to cover much wider (and usually much darker) topics and critiques the absurdities of the topics in quite a literary fashion.

kaini Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 "The show received a negative review in Time Out, which described Lee as "fat" and his performance as "positively Neanderthal, suggesting a jungle-dwelling pygmy, struggling to coax notes out of a clarinet that has fallen from a passing aircraft", however, this in fact was a satirical "self-review" by Lee himself."

The BBC website has it listed as May 4th, and it's not in any listing magazines that I've seen. Also, it's not on iplayer. They probably meant to say 'next Wednesday'.

Yeah I agree. I think he was using the first episode to comment on the critical reception of the last series so hopefully he'll move on to something else with the next episode.
