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 Two: 90s Comedian (2006)
In this episode, Dan and Joe revisit Stew's seminal, revolutionary 2006 work '90s Comedian', which largely deals with the backlash faced by Stew and the composer Richard Thomas in response to their critically acclaimed (and Olivier Award winning) theatre show 'Jerry Springer: The Opera'.
Joe and Dan pick apart the finer points of this set and discuss the themes of censorship and boundaries of taste within it, whilst Dan both has a cold AND manages to find time to admit that Jim Davidson is a better comedian than him (for now).
