You know it's a good reaction channel when you can experience comedians for the first time through their reactions without them pausing every 3 mins, i would have never heard of Stewart Lee if it weren't for you guys
His act is so different from any comedian I've ever seen. Lucy is right it's not belly laughs but it's really funny. A lot of the time I feel I'm getting called out for being pretentious just because he amuses me with his clever and original stuff but it does make my mind jump around like a fire cracker and that's really entertaining.
The Wrekin, featured in the black and white sections, is a ridge/hill in Shropshire. Lee, being from Birmingham, grew up with the expression 'Going 'round the Wrekin', meaning to go the long way round to something, or not getting to the point succinctly.
I have also seen SL and yes he is a genius and yes I am also a bald man with a beard....i am beginning to see a pattern here 🍺🍻 also watch 41st best comedian ever, now that is funny but then they all are 😜
Stewart is a misunderstood comedy hero. And critics did slag him off more than he deserved... because he's smarter than them. They called him a 'social bully'.
Talking of panto... Ever heard of the 1995 Panto "Sinderella", a slightly more grown-up version with and by Jim Davidson? It's even on TH-cam in full. 😁
My relationship with work colleagues was more varied. We'd sometimes say "nights are drawing in now". Moreover we'd only have six months to wait before we could talk about them getting lighter again. And all that regardless of whether someone we knew, had got ill, in the mean time, causing us to get side tracked with small talk.
If you remember in the first half, after the bbc joke when he mentioned a particularly BBC employee and paused, there was a slight nervous laugh from the audience ? On occasions he will deliberately torture an audience with repetition - as he does mildly in this show. His well known clips tend to be quite flowing and 'driven' but a great piece is his 'give it to me straight, like a pear cider' bit - it’s in two parts on youtube - in which he, well let’s just say he covers a lot of ground, flipping between 'himself' and a fictionalized version of himself, fully committing to a part while simultaneously trashing it. It's pretty remarkable, there are a few comedians who are regarded as experts at things like curating jokes, or very knowledgeable about black and white movie comedy history, Lee's expertise just spreads way beyond such narrow confines. Literature and the historical knowledge of theatre are things he happily brings into his act. And while his stage persona is one of contempt for the audience, he clearly has a level of trust that they will keep up and can enjoy something a bit more avant garde or challenging. It should also be noted that while he’s not averse to taking a swing at aspects of the comedy world, I think he’s pretty loved and admired by younger or less established acts that he organizes showcases for.
Even had a pop at Richard Herring lol. Stew hates comedians.....and comedy is beneath him. Joking aside at least he's doing something different. seen him but best live was Dylan Moran for me.
I don't think I'm as genius as him for listening to his material. Quite to the contrary: I know it for a fact. Or else, I'd be where he is now and he was the one who had to pay me a good part of the money he sweat blood and tears making, just so he can listen to some bloke, who works two nights a week, going on about "how hard the showbiz life is", knowing that tomorrow he's got to find a way to cram four 3-week-projects into one month without losing a single one, since losing one would mean losing all the future ones the client may have in future too - and he would be sitting here, having to let me patronise him and then be expected to laugh about it, just to not get called unsophisticated or "unable to accept criticism"... Man, is that what we get for stopping to beat jesters for going too far after defeating and abolishing the monarchy the monarchies? Clowns used to work for a hand full of the unpopped leftover popcorn kernels. As food I mean; since despite the military rank, unpopped popcorn kernels don't have the necessary funds to hire anyone, the least of which a professional hitman. Stupid vegetable! Why pay a killer, if you could just as well send the US Police Force to conduct a welfare check in order to have them shot in the head as a last warning.. Also, contrary to the hitman, you don't even have to pay them, they pay themselves with whatever there happens to be in the victim's pockets, general possession or the station's evidence locker.. Gotta love the good old and most importantly: very unique, US institution of Police not only protecting life and well-being of citizens, but also their assets, investments and arbitrary bullshit laws, made solely for the purpose of fcking with other people's lives as effectively as a single SA allegation.. 😑 Like something 99% of citizens have never heard about and probably only will, once they're already done for in every conceivable aspect. Civil Forfeiture. Who ever came up with that was a genius - Don't like the black or Asian guys moving into your neigbourhood? No problem: Just contact your local HOA and foreclose on their houses, properties or accuse inanimate objects, which can't communicate or indeed move or manipulate its surroundings of having committed crimes, sell it to yourself or a buddy for a symbolic, lower than three digit sum and watch them leave with a broken spirit, crushed dreams and a black hole in their finances.. But give them own clothing and a horizontal bed with stilts, so the rats can't climb up on it, mounted to it .. and suddenly they're all over their heads, acting as if they're suddenly all morally superior now. Despite, thanks to Jimmy Carr, us all knowing that they're not.. bloody la di dah cockney snob, acting all fancy drinking water out of a glass, killing the cockroaches before eating them and even having his own personal toothbrush; making ten grant a show. Pfffff... 😤 Show me only ONE tradie who gets 5 digit payments for every single project they do. The guy is worse than Ricky Gervais, he at least acknowledges his change of class and income bracket.. 😤 Damn those new edibles are strooooooong.. 🚂🚂🚂 🤯 I think after that, I will binge all of "Stoner Cats".. 🤩 (For the people from the Mexico of Canada: That was a joke in the spirit of his Jazz number, arguably the funniest bit of the entire show, so please don't sue or shoot me. 🫨)
The look at camera about Brexit was the first line of one of his famous routines about Brexit...its call back that his dedicated fans get (cos they are geniuses like him)
It's called the 4th wall. Oliver Hardy did it nearly 100 years ago. Shakespearian actors did it hundreds of years before that Steve Martin and John Candy did it. Ancient Greek actors did it.
I think Lee was referencing a comment made in a trending tweet about Phoebe Waller Bridge being a genius for inventing the breaking of the fourth Wall. Generally most people know it's a very old comedic device.
You know it's a good reaction channel when you can experience comedians for the first time through their reactions without them pausing every 3 mins, i would have never heard of Stewart Lee if it weren't for you guys
Stewart Lee is a genius and I should know. I am a bald man with glasses and a beard.
That Richard Herring stuff was killer. RH is a man that hangs around with comedians.
I love this reaction channel,because they don't pause every 10 seconds to have a discussion about it ! or they don't at all ! or at the end is fine.
Brad’s a genius because he’s likes him…
Of course he likes him. Not only is Brad a genius, he is a bald man with a beard.
@ ha ha ha 🤣
Love the jazz at the end Brad That's the secret to a long happy marriage when she's talking to you drift away imagining jazz playing until she stops😂
🤣🤣🤣
👩🦰- 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting comedian, Wonderful reaction, the restraint on Lucy's face, all 👍 great stuff
You are both really fun to watch, watching😊
Thank you so much 😁
That ending 😂
Stewart Lee is wonderful. He hates alot of comedians and tv personalities i like 😂 but this man is too good to ignore
Love how his jazz argument is implemented into the monotony of life in general at the end

He was also born right by the Wrekin in wellington too
Pet Gladioli has let himself go.
No longer in the bloom of youth!
I’m proud to have contributed to cheering up little Brady boy yesterday. Starbuck would have wanted to hear you laugh maniacally ❤❤❤
I’ve seen Lee live five times and confirm that the rumours are true. He is, in fact, a genius.
And yes, I am a bald man with a beard and glasses.
We should start a club 😁🍺
I have also seen SL and yes he is a genius and yes I am also a bald man with a beard....i am beginning to see a pattern here 🍺🍻 also watch 41st best comedian ever, now that is funny but then they all are 😜
Oh, beard AND glasses, how novel, yet suitably superlative. Bravo!
You must also be a genius for realising Stewart Lee is a genius.
@@ianstopher9111 I have known that for a while now 😂🤣😂🤣
Stewart Lee - Internet Comments is worth a watch
When you guys run for election here's a +1 upvote from me for the *excellent* use of _mellow_ (tm) jazz at the end. Lovin your work. Toptastic.
RIP Starbuck on behalf of everyone in Scotland we are so sorry for your loss Brad & Lucy x
Clever ending. Wish I could lipread.
It’s not for everyone but it is for me soo fkn funny, love to you and fam ❤
Marvellous - still the best however many times watched. Pears Cider is a must. Henry Grimes's let himself go.
Stewart is a misunderstood comedy hero. And critics did slag him off more than he deserved... because he's smarter than them. They called him a 'social bully'.
That's nothing in comparison to what Lee called them, in all fairness. LOL.
If that's not the best 17 hours of comedy, then it's not. Wild.
Loved the ending of that video!
lol the Jazz at the end. I see what he did there.
😂👍👍👍
How did you you come up with that ending?
I must be a genius cos I liked it.
✌️🤟🤘
Bald man here with a beard and glasses... I didn't find it funny but I agreed the fuck out of it...
Talking of panto... Ever heard of the 1995 Panto "Sinderella", a slightly more grown-up version with and by Jim Davidson? It's even on TH-cam in full. 😁
We actually reacted to the entire show and posted it. A week later, we received an email from Jim Davidson asking us to remove it.
Great ending to this video!
-Best regards, bald man with a beard and glasses
Loved it made me laugh
Actually, I think it was Gregor Fisher as Rab C. Nesbitt talked to his audience 1st. 😉🤭
That's a good shout
He spoke to us more than the cast
Blackadder
@samuelgarrod8327 Thinking about it, it might've been Frankie Howard in "Up Pompeii" 🤔😉
I will tell yuuuu…
There was also talking to camera in Lovejoy. Ian McShane’s finest role, in a way.
I don’t know what/who Fleabag is but this is a serious takedown. Though not as serious as his takedown of us!! 😊
Ah so she actually was the first to talk to the audience? 😂🤔 I mean that really hadn’t been done before had it? so original 😂

You’ve let yourself go there, Adrian.
Yeah, I've just got to go in the garden, think the hedgehog's fallen in its milk...
.
nice little joke at the end there Brad!
Great video
That ending sounds expensive.
Well... see you tomorrow... yeah... see you tomorrow... Friday tomorrow... yeah... Friday
Don't give hedgehogs milk, it's bad for them.
Yeah, they might drown
They prefer Beer or Whisky
They get the squits.

Check out Stewarts' bbc series Comedy Vehicle
Superb , original, hilarious
BBC blocks all of our reactions unfortunately.
Even had a pop at Richard Herring lol. Stew hates comedians.....and comedy is beneath him. Joking aside at least he's doing something different. seen him but best live was Dylan Moran for me.
Ending with the wrong jazz there. ;)

I found it quite Woody Allen nuanced
I preferred it when all comedians were the same. Do you remember?
Yeah, I do yeah. Well I remember it a bit.

I love Stew, been a fan since the 90's and I think this is by far his least funny show.
Stewart Lee is an acquired taste but I think he's great!
Acquired taste, if you start out with no taste, yeah? Yeah. See you tomorrow yeah.
