Stuart Lee's therapist recently wrote a book which included a chapter on Lee. It was quite controversial because it broke the confidentiality between patient and therapist. Apparently Lee has released all cognitive, conative or affective representations of his own identity. In other words, the therapist continued, and in the parlance of psychotherapy, Stuart Lee has let his self go.
Left Aligned Gooner I was annoyed I had to click out of TH-cam to google Slavoj Žižek, And I find those weird lines above the letters annoying. But it was a fair point. Slavoj Žižek has indeed let himself go.
What are you even taking about?! Slavoy Žižek has let both, his speech impediment *and* his twitchiness go. I mean: imagine him talking like Stewart Lee, he'd blow *all* the other philosophical-politico public personas right out of the water!
The old grizzled western barkeeper who serves you one shot of whiskey and asks you not to cause any trouble, then proceeds to pull out his shot gun at the first sign of a punch up, has let himself go.
Actually really interesting/insightful interview. Good to hear, as a creative person, that there’s no shame in abandoning traditional routes to success if they’re just not compatible with what you do/make. I know a lot of people who could learn from that.
Stewart Lee's eyes shine beautifully here, like the most valuable stones in a faux-gold necklace, retrieved from a puddle of meat stall blood and urban sputum, and sold the next day in Brixton market circa 1997, to a housewife.
This is great. Thanks for recording it. I've seen Stewart live a number of times but this is the first time I've seen him outside "the Character". Very entertaining and illuminating.
this is a really good interview, genuinely enlightening. jamali is on point knowing what he's talking about and joining in to encourage him but then letting him talk
Cali Braxus it’s interesting that you should ask that, because I should imagine the nice black one would be ok with the way Stewart has let himself go, whereas the mad Irish one wouldn’t stand for his nonsense and would punch him.
Anyone remember Screaming Blue Murder at The Mitre Pub Hampton Court Bridge, I wish I had filmed them like they said. We used to leave with our cheeks aching so much from laughing, happier times. Thanks to these guys bravery to get up there....what a gift Mr Lee has, we all let ourselves go 😉
Alienating the public in such a way that at the end they leave the gig feeling at the same time vulnerable, hurt, embarrassed, with an overwhelming feeling that they discovered something exceptional, exited, with a sense of self worth……as long as public is not offended by the performance, every other reaction, even anger, means that it was good!
the man on my screen bears a comically striking resemblance to a figure with whom he forms an unlikely pairing only more corpulent, hirsute, and unkempt
Both comics here are great, but it's like they're having two very different conversations. Fascinating to hear Lee discuss the mechanics of comedy in such excruciating detail, I just wish Jamali would let him speak. No disrespect to Jamali. Just giving it to you straight like a pear cider made from 100% pears
Thank you! I really enjoyed this. I now live in Cambodia and really need this kind of stuff. Stewert is not a hero of mine but he's getting very close indeed.
Ah, fuck off, weaklings, I couldn't watch it even before I knew it existed. Seriously, though, if you came for Stewart Lee, you would've stayed. But you came for entertainment, and, apparently, Jamali ruined it for you because of your extreme intolerance of his speech patterns, so you missed loads of good stuff, especially the mentions of comedians that inspired Lee.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so irritating. I can't sleep now, my knuckles are itching, my arsehole burns, I'm kicking kids for laughing too loud, can't even watch TH-cam, because PTSD kicks in immediately.
KG 1 _'Hindenburg',_ a German Luftwaffe squadron that conducted operations against Poland, the Soviet Union and the Italian theatre from September 1939 to August 1944, mainly with the Junkers Ju 88 multirole plane and the trouble-prone Heinkel 177 strategic bomber, has let itself go. Note that Stewart's two 24-cylinder Daimler- Benz DB 610 piston engines overheat badly during this interview.
This is a great episode. Definitely some new stories here. Considering most people tell the same stories again again on podcasts etc. Cheers for that. Ps, The Milky Bar Kid has let himself go...
I sincerely hope that this was broadcasted live on the radio and Stew had grown a beard exclusively for the show, which he'd thought wouldn't be filmed. Classic Stewart Lee!
Keith Chegwin has let himself go.... Jamali is great. Never seen him before and it's nice to see a young comic who knows his comedy history. He does a good interview here. He's great.
Quite cool facial hair; at least it’s better than mine. There’s IQ with Lee, of course that’s obvious. Never forget the intensity of tension of a set Lee did that repeated itself over and over before a live audience. I was sweating almost as much as he was. Brave.
Im a yorkshireman but have no shame in saying its true lancashire grit like this that made our country great! Too few of these northern nutcases left in our world these days!
As a proud Lancastrian I can say that we also need the Yorkshiremen. Historical rivalries aside, both counties (including greater Manchester and Merseyside historically) are what built this Country, and hopefully what can keep pushing it forwards.

This sounds a lot like a joke Lee would have told. If this is yours, then well done.
This is gold. Well done.

Stewart Lee talking about comedy in the 90s was FASCINATING, he should write a comedy-drama about it!

Maybe he was contemplating his demise?
