I'm always surprised how different/humble he comes across in interviews. Zero arrogance, totally unassuming; will laugh like a child at the drop of a hat. Im impressive he can switch that off on stage. I think some of the folks who hate him maybe don't realise how much of a deliberate act all that is.
stu's got such a great laugh, i think he pitches himself really well in interviews - he's a very intelligent man who articulates his thoughts really clearly - we should all listen to him a lot more
i think lee doesn't like him and resents his popularity because it highlights his own lack of wide commercial success. i don't blame lee at all if this is how he feels, i would feel the same in his position. lee is one of my favourite living comics but i don't think he gets enough credit for what he does. he deserves much more. seeing populist cheery fare like mcyntire selling dvd's and tickets by the warehouse load must be irritating. but mcyntire will come n go. lee will be around in 30 years.
yeah but i couldn't be bothered looking it up...if you did not know who it was then you would not have known even if i had spelt it correctly but well done for pointing that out...
Love this man but he always struggles when challenged on his criticisms of others. It's fascinating that both Lee & Herring harbour these little resentments towards some of those with more mass popularity. Shapes both of their personas in some ways.
I love him too, head and shoulders above the rest. At the risk of sounding like a snob, I feel both he and Herring are right to criticise the mass popularity comics. I glad they do.
You see what happened there? It was a bit of a smart arse question, on the basis I assume he means Anders Breivik. You are right though I am definitely on the internet; in fact I’m on the internet right now
I hope the BBC commissions another series. If they are willing to spend ££££ on unfunny pricks like McIntyre and Carr we deserve some more SL as compensation.
It was hilarious! It was my 28th birthday and I was just getting off a crowded bus. Or a cub meeting, can't remember. Ah ha! Hilarious. A normal person wouldn't have been emailed a conformation of a job they'd been trying to get for ages and got it as they listened to Fleet Foxes as they got ruined on decent Chardonnay.
art never being complete; merely abandoned is not an original sentiment by simon munnery. it is a famous aphorism credited to the late 19th century/ early 20th century french poet paul valery which in itself was paraphrasing a quote by leonardo da vinci several centuries before him. it is possible that da vinci himself was not being wholly original but alluding to the greek and roman men of letters and they their predecessors. but it was definitely not simon munnery, as much as i love him!

Yeah do they think Stephen King is a psychopathic murderer.

Has Stewart lee ever managed to complete an interview without quoting Simon Munnerry?
Yes
I couldn't find a Richard Bacon calender anywhere in The Works.
When asked if he admires Michael McIntyre, I wish he would just say - No.

From 23:24 onwards is amazing.
Yes, he probably thinks it's a predictable thing to say and that he'd be suspected of jealousy

I'm pissed out of my head right now , sitting in Balbao in Barcelona with Claude AKA MC Solaar. I hate Spanish wine.
Hope you've found some more agreeable wine .
It's funny how you can hear Plinny when he laughs. Laughs like how a bird laughs!

I sure wish people would let go of 'has let himself go'.
Matthew McVeagh letting go of letting himself go, has let himself go
I think he means Anders Behring Breivik. Someone whose name deserves to be forgotten and misspelled in any event...
He basically did say no
That's right.
imagine that.

AND IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING...
Hmm. It's almost as if terse comments on the net aren't a great method of communicating things.

I thought it was quite amusing.
Morrissey has LHG
