Hello there, welcome to the Louis Theroux podcast.
My guest today is comedian, director, writer and 41st best stand-up ever, Stuart Lee.
Stuart is one of the most influential and admired stand-up comedians working today, known for his meticulously constructed routines which rely on repetition, repetition, repetition...
That's my joke.
An amusing and ironic sense of superiority to his audience and a kind of wry and laid-back delivery.
The music of his inflections is one of his most appealing assets as a comedian.
A lot of the most famous routines he does are on YouTube.
I've seen him live several times.
He's very comfortable on stage.
He's sometimes compared...
With Ricky Gervais, he came to fame before Ricky and he writes openly in his book about the ways in which he feels maybe he influenced Ricky or that Ricky overlaps with what he does.
Nevertheless, his voice is wholly his own.
Stuart came on the podcast to discuss his current stand-up show, Stuart Lee vs. the Man-Wolf, which involves him in the middle.
This is a spoiler, not really.
