Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle - E1P1

I love Stewart Lee, he's a genius.

i like how, when Stew summarises the anecdote of the pound coin in the pub urinal, no one in the audience laughs. you can tell Stew found that amusing. @8.28

At first i was like "oh man, its not like stew to attack other celebrities.. surely thats beneath him."

then i realised:
a) no-one else has the balls to do it in the cult of celebrity
b)He's not attacking celebrities, but rather the insane idea that somehow having your own radio show gives you carte blanche on powerful issues.
c) (perhaps most importantly) he's really really really funny.

That comment would have been hilarious if you'd been able to spell syphilis. Ah well.

At what point did you think any of that was anything resembling the English language?

What is the name of the song in the beginning of the episode

It's "You've got to Laugh, or else you cry.."

The excellent theme music is Tom Hark by Elias and his Zig Zag Jive Flutes, who were a group from the South African townships. It reached number 2 in the UK charts in 1958.

Oh mayyyte
