My dad always said "never judge a comedian by social media clips" and it was for that reason he lost his job as panelist for the World Social Media Clip Comedy Awards.

Im literally watching this in bed on a laptop. I've been personally attacked.

I think Lee has it wrong. I think we're the geniuses and he's done awfully well to appeal to us.

"He's a genius and so am I because I like him." The man's a genius.

Best UB40 gig I've seen in a while

I think Stewart Lee is one of, if not, the best stand up performers in the world and that makes me a genius. It does.

"like Tolstoy" is such an absurdly funny line in this bit

Oh my god, this is so meta while absolutely accurate that it's scary.

This is why I like Lee, he gives it to you straight, like a pear cider made from 100% real pears

Stewart Lee is like watching and hearing Wagner's Ring Cycle all the way through in one sitting! Both are brilliant! Trouble is, if you do that, you do let yourself go a bit.

I tried showing Stewart Lee to my wife, but unfortunately, it was the fifty six minutes of him repeating the unintelligible sounds of a word said out of context. She said "Is that all he does" I said "Shut up , hes a genius"

My Black wife quite enjoyed this clip, but my Irish wife just got drunk and violent about it.

I'm dragging my wife along in December, she'll be the one with the polite smile.

I went to see the famous comedian Stewart Lee at the Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton.

Accurate. He's giving it to us straight, like... It is usually men who like Stewart Lee. Men who read the Guardian and like cheese and real ale. Men like me. It's not that he says anything that women would find objectionable (e.g., Jimmy Carr), it's "Oh great! He's like you. Can't we go see Michael McIntryre instead?"

I can’t help thinking that Lee did this routine purely because he knew how meta it would be when one of his male fans was lying in bed with a laptop on his chest watching a clip on YouTube of Stewart Lee calling him out for lying in bed with a laptop on his chest watching a clip on YouTube of Stewart Lee

A hedgehog has let itself go

It’s so true. I do think I’m a genius for liking a genius. Only a genius would have worked that out and used it in his stand up routine.
