Stewart Lee

He could actually, he could film a show in a theatre with no one there.

Yeah, but okay.

But without the crowd work, you could kind of do it.

Look, a famous comedian was recording a video at the Hammersmith Apollo.

And there was a transport strike.

But most of the audience couldn't get there.

So they filmed it with no people.

And I'm not telling you who that was.

And then they cut the audience responses in.

From a different show, a different night?

Probably.

And it made no difference.

Well, I've got hearing aids, as you can see, and so I could do bigger rooms.

The biggest rooms I do are the 3,500-seater Edinburgh Theatre, the same size in Glasgow, and I do those two or three times each on this tour.

3,500?

Yeah, but I also do 500-seaters.

I basically will do...

between 200,000 and a quarter of a million people on each tour.

But I will do it in manageable amounts, which is why I end up being on the road for so long.

Well, one of my ideas is to do a stadium tour and to double down on all the things that are bad about it.
