Stewart Graham Lee (born 5 April 1968) is an English stand-up comedian, writer and director. In the mid-1990s he was one half of the radio duo Lee and Herring, alongside Richard Herring. His stand-up is characterised by repetition, frequent callbacks, generally deadpan delivery and a pronounced use of deconstruction, which he often self-consciously refers to on stage.
After a return to the live circuit, and through BBC and Channel 4 specials and series, Lee has rebuilt an audience and a reputation as an anti-populist comedian. In December 2011 he won British Comedy Awards for best male television comic and best comedy entertainment programme for his series Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. A 2009 article in The Times referred to him as "the comedian's comedian, and for good reason" and named him "face of the decade". In June 2012 Lee was placed at number 9 in the Top 100 Most Influential People in UK Comedy.
Lee's comedy covers a wide range of forms and subject material. It is often topical, observational, self-deprecating or absurd. Notable routines have focused on topics like religion, political correctness and artistic integrity. He also employs metahumour, openly describing the structure and intent of the set while onstage, and abolishing the illusion of his routines as spontaneous acts.
Lee's delivery utilises various onstage personae, frequently alternating between that of an outspoken liberal hero and that of a depressed failure and champagne socialist. In an ironic manner, he often criticises the audience for not being intelligent enough to understand his jokes, saying they would prefer more simplistic material, or enjoy the work of more mainstream "arena" comedians such as Michael McIntyre or Lee Mack;[39] inversely, he will also scold them as a bias-seeking "liberal intelligentsia".[40] His routines often culminate in feigned depressive episodes and nervous breakdowns.
Lee caused controversy on his If You Prefer a Milder Comedian tour with a routine about Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond. Referring to Hammond's accident while filming in 2006, in which he was almost killed, Lee joked, "I wish he had been decapitated". The Daily Mail termed this an "extraordinary attack"[41] and, having been doorstepped by a Mail journalist, Lee quoted the routine by replying "It's a joke, just like on Top Gear when they do their jokes".[42] Lee subsequently explained the joke:
The idea of what's acceptable and what's shocking, that's where I investigate. I mean, you can't be on Top Gear, where your only argument is that it's all just a joke and anyone who takes offence is an example of political correctness gone mad, and then not accept the counterbalance to that. Put simply, if Clarkson can say the prime minister is a one-eyed Scottish idiot, then I can say that I hope his children go blind. — Stewart Lee[43]
In an Observer interview, Sean O'Hagan says of the Hammond joke that Lee "operates out in that dangerous hinterland between moral provocation and outright offence, often adopting, as in this instance, the tactics of those he targets in order to highlight their hypocrisy".
In his stand-up shows, Lee has made critical statements against other successful comedians including Ben Elton, Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, James Corden and Patrick Kielty.
After accepting an honorary fellowship from St Edmund Hall, Oxford,Lee gave a lecture to aspiring writers in which he discussed the fact that performers such as Frankie Boyle, Michael McIntyre, Jack Whitehall and Andi Osho used writers who were not credited. He compared the practice to athletes using performance-enhancing drugs. Along with plagiarism and extremism, Lee has brought moral issues surrounding stand-up to the public's attention.
His influences include Ted Chippington, Simon Munnery, Kevin McAleer and Johnny Vegas.

Study and learn! It really is too bad about his waddling, clueless, always-6-months-behind-the-trend communist-leaning political positions. Maybe he'll come around after all?
There are zero "right wing" artworks that are worth a single pile of dog shit.
prove me wrong.
Colin Moynihan calls himself a journalist but he behaves like an activist and he looks like an asshole - yet another one of these "hate watch" types that focuses 100% of his time ferretting out mythical Nazis while turning a blind eye to hatred from Islam, feminists, or non-white males. It's all a big affectation to these people, a silly game based on fashion.
He's written about the Proud Boys A LOT and it's hard to imagine how he himself can't see how positively dripping with bias his writing is. Proud Boys love Trump but they are also against the drug war and are quite open about their drug use. The club includes gays and Jews and every race and tend to be totally socially liberal when it comes to things such as gay marriage. Is that "far right"? Is the person who started this club a "hatemonger"? Of course not but modern journalism is about carrying water for the alt-left. When those who don't agree with Colin Moynihan fight back they are "engaging" in a "political street fight." When antifa attacks us, they simply "countered" a "threat" with "physical force." Colin calls antifa: "black clad protestors," "self-described anti-fascists," "masked protestors," "hooded figures," everything but antifa. When he finally does get to the far left violent gang who are well known domestic terrorists, he calls them, "a loose affiliation of left-leaning activists." When antifa throws a glass bottle of urine, Moynihan converts it to a "plastic bottle." What a cunt.
However, you don't have to read his thinly veiled manifestos to know what a shithead he is. Just look at him. Look at his turn-of-the-century denim and his work boots. He may be a high-falutin' journalist but deep down, he's a workingman. Like Jack Nicholson's character in Five Easy Pieces Colin is just as comfortable hobnobbing with the elites as he is breaking his back on an oilrig. It's so obvious he's going for a "this machine kills fascists" Woody Guthrie thing, that it's comical. What a tired and blatantly obvious outfit. He honestly looks like a very funny person dressed like a socialist for Halloween. Oh good! He rides a bike. That's good for the environment. And it's not some fancy bike, either. It's just a regular old bicycle that you might see ride up to a factory and park before a long shift swinging a hammer.
The New York Times is filled with dickheads like this. They saw All the President's Men as a kid and decided that would be their calling. They will "Speak truth to power" while reporting the news. Of course, when you run out of Nixons and Jim Crows and separate drinking fountains, you need to expand your definition of injustice and that means turning violent extremists into "black clad protestors" and Trump supporters into "far right" "hatemongers."
The irony is, Moynihan wouldn't last ten minutes with real working class people. His writing can't hide his disdain for blue collar America. Max Hare works (sorry, "worked") on the railroads. He wore denim, not as an affectation but because work required it. He didn't wear boots to sit and sip coffee with the Sunday Times. He wore boots to swing a sledgehammer and build the tracks cunts like Moynihan use to get to their office jobs. John Kinsman is (was?) an ironworker. He built the buildings these phonies work in, tapping away at their computers and warning others of "fascism." John wore overalls and boots to work because he had to. It wasn't part of a "look."
That's why, when I see this picture, I can't help but say to myself, "Look at this cunt."

I happen to agree but denying that these twats are, in their hearts, trying to do the right thing and believe they're right, misses a huge opportunity to shame them into supporting us. Deaths of Despair are real. Silence isn't an option. I see what they've done...turning white males towards environmental causes and just ...toning down the rhetoric (that's still waiting in the wings, btw).
Woke whites need to be called out to denounce the racist Alt-Left& their own racist messages.
This is the answer. not shaming them about their twatty choice of work boots that've never seen any action. what is it with Gavin and fashion, anyways? He says he's not gay but, not that there's anything wrong with it as far as I'm concerned and I'm being honest here about that, but yeah. Just come out as bisexual, Gavin, we all sorta know it's what's going on anyways.
Who knew Milo and Gavin were making money getting drunk on camera, dressing up as various Congresspeople and role-playing as they flirt with each other? lol
I'm an idiot. And just kidding. It's honestly quite harmless and good-natured:
