Blog2014 ≫ I actually love Stewart Lee

Talking about our impending anniversary trip to Edinburgh with the wife (can I call it impending when it is nearly a year away?) and she could not believe that last time we went we did not go to see Stewart Lee. We would always go see him normally given a reasonable chance, being in the same city at the same time counts here. But this time, no, because a) we had already seen the show he was doing earlier that year (Carpet Remnant World) and b) we just couldn't fit in a duplicate show, there was too much to see in our four day trip.

This time (next time, whatever, the Edinburgh Fringe immediately following now) I hope to see him. We should see him more than once just because he writes things like this.

last Thursday, on the day Farage's Independent rant ran, I was doing a homeless benefit with five other acts an Asian man, a black woman, an Australian woman, a man who was Irish, and a poor bald man with a terrible speech impediment who only gets gigs out of sympathy. I, a white middle-class man, was the only normal person on the bill, and the only one who had got into the show by his own merits

He is funny.
