Jimzk5 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 anyone seen him live? got tickets to see him in may, one of my mates saw him a few years ago and said he was so bored he counted the amount of seats him the room, but he thinks Noel fielding is funny so im not taking his critique to serious. stewart lee
irreverentad Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I must admit Stewart Lee is one of those comedians that I think that I should feel is funny, but alas he never makes me laugh. I can appreciate some of his comedy is very clever. It just doesn't 'get' me. I agree on Fielding, the talentless clearing in the woods!
dAVe80 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Saw him on his last tour, and he was brilliant. Best stand up I've ever seen live. Got tickets to see him again in Newcastle, later in the month.
LincsVilla Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Find him rather irritating to be honest, don't really know why, he just winds me up.
one_ian_taylor Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 You'll either love him or hate him. I think he's great, but there's loads of his stuff on youtube which will give you an idea of what he's like. Maybe start here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGAOCVwLrXo

Maybe start here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGAOCVwLrXo i saw his last series of comedy vehicle which is why ive brought the tickets, ive seen bits n pieces of his stand up but reviews on the net and other people have said his materiel is more drawn out live than its shown on the tele, i do find him incredibly funny though
Ginko Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I agree with his politics wholeheartedly, but when I want to see a comedian I want to laugh. Some of his jokes are funny, they're just too infrequent for me.
Houlston Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I think he is brilliant, I'm going to see him in April. I have seen him live but it was so long ago when he was in Fist Of Fun with Richard Herring so it was a little different to what he does now. I went and watched Herring last week and I recommend people to go see him. He is a bit more conventional than Lee and much more fast paced.
leemond2008 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I think Noel fielding is much better on buzzcocks than the mighty boosh, though admittedly I've never seen much of the boosh
saturdaygig Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Sometimes he's brilliant, but i fear his best days are behind him.
Stevo985 Posted March 6, 2012 VT Supporter Posted March 6, 2012 I'm seeing him in may as well at the Warwick Arts Centre. Can't wait, he's brilliant.
Risso Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I think he's hilarious personally. He doesn't have to tell rapidfire wisecracks to be funny in my opinion, he just cracks me up.
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Genius. Lives just up the road from me in Stamford Hill. I see him walking around Stoke Newington sometimes, if I ever bump in to him I'll say hello and ask him to sign my knackers.
Designer1 Posted March 6, 2012 VT Supporter Posted March 6, 2012 Genius. King of the pregnant pause. Going to see him again this month and can't wait.
The_Rev Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 ("Identity" sketch, Glasgow. You need to watch both parts, the second one is easy to find when the first one has finished.) A lot of his appeal is how he can keep a joke running for a whole show though, a lot of the clips on YouTube dont really do him justice, even the ones which are 15-20 minutes long. King of the call backs I guess.
