Stand-up comedian and semi-harmless fanatic Daniel Powell and fellow stand-up/relative Stewart Lee newbie (stewbie?) Joe Kirkwood (plus the occasional guest), take a deep dive into the work of The Comedian Stewart Lee. Expect many uses of the word "deconstruction", at least one use of "avant-garde" (probably out of context) per episode, and much tedious quoting of favourite lines and routines from the vast back catalogue of Mr Lee's work. To prevent things descending into cackling sycophant territory, some negativity is mandatory.
Some analysis will be attempted, most of which will be of no academic or artistic value.

Episode 9: Comedy Vehicle #1.6 - Comedy (2009)
If ATS podcast episodes were to adopt the naming conventions of the popular nineties American Sitcom Friends, this episode would be "The One Where Dan Gets Cancelled"
After a minor misunderstanding over the conventions regarding the context of analysis and reportage vs actual bigotry, Dan gets himself into hot water (no, not the popular male only stand-up venue in the North West of England) and doubles down like a child trying to save himself from being told off by someone trying to teach him something.
Shame.
Elsewhere, Dan says things like "maybe he killed himself" in an insensitive manner, proving that his judgement of tone in comedy has been adversely affected by his absolute inability to do it himself properly. Dan and Joe also discuss Hotel based anecdotes and talk at a far greater length than they should do about an episode of television that lasts for less than half an hour. No one learns anything and Dan wishes he was was a frog who was dead, or something.
Comedy!
