Last night I stumbled across a clip of a comedian chastising his audience for not getting a joke, then going on a rant about the vast body of dead comedians for whom the audience was to blame. It was kind of genius, and not just because it seemed completely off-the-cuff.
That was Stewart Lee.
So I searched him and found a 2004 special called STAND UP COMEDIAN, which was one of those shows where you realize you’ve found something really special…only I was 20 years late.
But I loved it. You can find it on YouTube.
