In this episode, Dan and Joe revisit Stew's seminal, revolutionary 2006 work '90s Comedian', which largely deals with the backlash faced by Stew and the composer Richard Thomas in response to their critically acclaimed (and Olivier Award winning) theatre show 'Jerry Springer: The Opera'.Joe and Dan pick apart the finer points of this set and discuss the themes of censorship and boundaries of taste within it, whilst Dan both has a cold AND manages to find time to admit that Jim Davidson is a better comedian than him (for now).To get tickets to our live show at Leicester Comedy Festival on February 24th 2024 please visit Across the Stew-niverse: A podcast about Stewart Lee - Leicester Comedy FestivalLeicester Comedy Festival (comedy-festival.co.uk)
