Stewart Lee

So I thought, well, I'll own that.

Well, the reason I did that about James Corden was because I was kept being told that James Corden was a fan and James Corden would turn up at little tryout gigs that I was doing

And I had to think, what would the character of Stuart Lee... I don't mind him.

I don't know anything about him.

But unfortunately, the character of Stuart Lee would be a snob about him.

So I had to say that.

I had to ruin that.

And sometimes I have to say things that I know will make my life worse and more difficult.

I once sabotaged a gig at the Royal Albert Hall because it's what he would have done.

Yeah.

No.

I've done the Teenage Cancer Trust comedy night at the Royal Albert Hall twice.

The first time I did it, Noel Fielding curated all the acts.

So I kind of fit it in.

I fit it in quite well on that night.

The second time, John Bishop did it.

And John Bishop likes me.

And I think John Bishop is a very good comedian.

Very funny Liverpool working class comedian.

But he's very different to me.
