Stewart Lee – Basic Lee
BASIC LEE – A brand-new show
After a decade of ground-breaking high concept shows involving overarched interlinked narratives, massive sets and enormous comedy props, Lee enters the post-pandemic era in streamlined solo stand-up mode.
One man, one microphone and one microphone in the wings in case the one on stage breaks. Pure. Simple. Classic. Basic Lee.
“The world’s greatest living stand-up” (The Times)
Lee remains one of the best stand-ups in the country
Metro
Basically, Basic Lee is very funny
The Times
Basically, back-to-basics Basic Lee is anything but… there’s no-one else to touch him
Mail on Sunday
Basically, basic Lee is better than most
The Telegraph
It’s brilliantly choreographed, razor-sharp and laugh-aloud hilarious, but anything but basic
