Stewart Lee

So I thought, well, I'll write that book about me.

It's very much that.

Well, I couldn't make a living either because I was with Avalon and it was difficult for me.

because the economics of their touring models were not very good.

I mean, who does that?

What a tasteless thing to do.

Although the dwarves like it, you know, because it's seasonal work.

That's what they say.

I asked a guy, do you like doing this?

He went, we're seasonal workers, he said.

We have to always mention that that was the idea of the composer Richard Thomas who did the majority of the creative work on it.

And the concept was already up and running when I came in.

I tried to plot it into something really.

But I had an amazing thing on tour, and I hope she won't mind me talking about this, but his family, the family of Stephen Green who led the campaign against...

Jerry Springer, the opera.

Stephen Green's also actually one of the people that the Tufton Street AstroTurf pressure group, Restore Trust, have tried to put onto the board of the National Trust because they think it's got too woke.

And he's a man who believes it's not possible for a man to rape his wife.

Anyway, I was doing a gig on this tour and his daughter came up at the end and introduced herself.

And it was one of the most overwhelming things that has happened to me

It's making you a bit emotional thinking about it.
