Stewart Lee: If You Prefer a Milder Comedian, Please Ask for One
Television's Frankie Boyle has proclaimed that no-one over 40 ought to do stand-up, as the old comedians shed their edge and their temper. Stewart Lee is 42 and also Frankie's heartless Scottish words have made him ask yourself if it's worth carrying on. Unalarmed, the furiously frustrated comedian attempts to win round the legendarily harsh Glasgow audience with a crowd-pleasing Mcintyre-style routine concerning coffee shops, but is distracted by ratings of fictional pirates; he attempts to discuss every day middle aged men's problems, but is attracted right into a forty min tirade versus Top Equipment and all it stands for; he attempts to find some common ground with delighted childhood years memories that he and also the audience can share, however is rather taken in with loathing as well as misery as a result of a Magners' Cider marketing campaign.
