I'll be watching this on iPlayer later. I do love a bit of Stewart Lee, and find slightly over-burning jokes far funnier than cramming as many into a short space as possible, à la Tim Vine, whom I find infuriatingly relentlessly unfunny. I can definitely understand the complaints of anyone who doesn't like Lee. But he still really makes me laugh. |

I can appreciate both ends, the long drawn out jokes ala Stewart Lee, and the 500 jokes a minute one liners of Tim Vine. And stuff inbetween too. I just like funny Malc |

Malc is right. Stewart Lee and Tim Vine are both excellent. It was marvellous to see Stew back on TV. |

Tim Vine is the rubbishest of the rubbish. And putting him and Lee Mack on a tv show together is someone's idea of a pisstake. That or the result of a drunken bet. |

Repeat it 5+ more times and you're just wasting my time. I've often heard that a joke every 30 seconds is a good thing for a stand up comedian to aim for. Otherwise, it's just like an after dinner speech. 30 seconds? Fucking luxury! |

I got around to watching this last night. I didn't really laugh a lot, which is a shame as I usually love Lee's work. Hopefully it'll pick up. I'm not sure I like it being so short, though. With Lee's style, short time-slots just don't work. |

I do look forward to seeing the others - especially as Lave said he felt the books one was one of the weaker. |

Watched the second episode last night, and it was definitely an improvement on the first. I laughed a fair bit more, but Lee failed to have me in stitches like a lot of his older material did. On the parts I didn't find funny, his repetition stood out like a sore thumb and really began to grate on me. I can completely understand how non-fans find him annoying now. I will keep watching, though. It did give me a few decent laughs. |

I've enjoyed it so far. However I can only assume that he's a lot better live, otherwise I'm really struggling to understand all the hype around him. |

Post subject: | Re: Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle |
I'm really not keen at all having made it through one and a half episodes now. He really does come across as a completely smug twat whereas for some reason I don't find Richard Herring blethering on about his tour constantly and talking over Andrew Collins as annoying - even though it should be. A lot of it's clever, but that doesn't mean it's funny. Al Murray last week was fucking brilliant and covertly clever, The TMWRNJ tour that I saw live years ago was painful because I laughed that much. Maybe I'm expecting too much but like many things - he's not as as good as he used to be. |

I feel exactly the same, only the exact opposite. I've really enjoyed both episodes of SLCV so far, but find the Collings and Herrin podcast completely unbearable. |

Have you tried using the download option on iPlayer? Both the first two episodes worked fine for me that way. |

I've seen Lee twice live and this show gives me the same vibe, it isn't gut-burstingly funny, but it is written to within an inch of its life. Not a dropped comma, a wrongly placed word or pause. So it comes down to whether you can get into that vibe instead of the usual "BANG! CRASH! PUNCHLINE!". Personally, I take it or leave it, and have to be in the mood for something as considered as his stuff but when he hits, he really does hit. |

Stew is the guest on Genius tonight at 10pm on Beeb2. I may break my self imposed rule and watch the otherwise fucking shit programme. In other Stew news, I received my copy of What Would Judas Do this morning. I'm looking forward to a good old listen of that. |
