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 Three: 41st Best Stand-up Ever! (2008)
In this episode, Dan and Joe battle adverse weather and terrible internet connections to bring you this mammoth episode, looking at Stew's 2008 effort '41st Best Stand-Up...Ever'.
This special finds 'The Comedian Stewart Lee' in an odd state of limbo, as he is lauded as the 41st best stand-up ever by one of those rubbish late night countdown shows on Channel 4, whilst simultaneously struggling to get anyone from television to give him a commission (as well as being ridiculed by his own Mum for not being as funny as "Scouse Groundhog" Tom O'Connor off of Crosswits)
Also in the episode, Dan and Joe discuss their own stand-up related struggles and what misogyny was like in the early 2000s, amongst a bunch of other things.
