Stewart Lee: Difference between revisions

'''[[Stewart Lee''']] is a British [[Stand Up Comedy|stand up comedian]], writer and director. Early on in his career he wrote material for ''[[Spitting Image]]'' and ''Weekending'' before teaming up with Richard Herring to write material for ''[[The Day Today]]'''s radio predecessor ''[[On The Hour]]''. Lee And Herring later started in their radios [[Sketch Comedy|sketch show]] ''Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World'' (Radio 4) and ''[[Fist of Fun]]'' (Radio 1) and presented three series of ''Lee and Herring'' on Radio 1 which mixed sketches which music chosen by the duo themselves. They later starred in a television version of ''Fist of Fun'' and a live Sunday afternoon show called ''This Morning With Richard Not Judy''. Lee then moved away from performing to concentrate on directing shows for fellow comedians [[The Mighty Boosh]] and Simon Munnery before co-writing and directing the notorious musical ''[[Jerry Springer]] - The Opera'' which attracted a prosecution for blasphemy. He then returned to stand-up and, in 2007, was awarded the dubious honour of being the 41st best Stand Up Comedian (which he took as the title of his next tour). He returned to television with ''Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle'', a mixture of stand-up and sketches.
