6 - Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle

This week - Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle Series 2 Episode 4Created by and starring Stewart Lee and broadcast on BBC Two, it features stand-up comedy and sketches united by a theme for each episode. It was script-edited by Chris Morris and was initially executive-produced by Armando Iannucci.The BBC declined to make any further series due primarily to cuts to BBC 2's comedy budget which would focus on scripted comedy.The main body of the show is a Stewart Lee stand-up comedy performance, recorded live at the Mildmay Club in Stoke Newington with a club audience. Usually two episodes of the show were recorded per evening. Each episode has a theme, around which Lee performs his material.A recurring element of the show is the "hostile interrogator", played by Armando Iannucci for the first two series and by Chris Morris from Series 3 onwards. In a darkened room, the interrogator quizzes Lee about his approach to stand-up comedy and his attitudes toward his audience and the comedy industry.Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle is available on the BBC iPlayer https://bbc.in/2MqvTCUComedy Slab is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio and Youtube.Subscribe for a new episode each Monday.We're @ComedySlab on Twitter.
