He's excellent isn't he, Mr Lee.

Yes.

Speaking as someone who comes from a right-wing political perspective (most of the time) I suppose I should dislike him with a passion, as many Daily Mail-types certainly do, but personally I don't have any problem with comedians coming from the opposite political perspective as long as I find their humour original, intelligent and funny, which in Stewart Lee's case I do.

Stewart Lee's whole act is a massive exaggeration of his own liberal views and persona, designed to provoke a reaction and further develop the character. He's very good at it. Many professional wrestlers use the same technique to great effect!

In which case he has a lot in common with me.

I'm a real disappointment to those who have met me in real life.

I suspect I'm the same. Online personas are much easier to maintain!

Well put, me too.
