Hey Stuart, your Comedy Vehicle was awesome, any plans to do more? Just commented Richard Herring to ask if it was possible to get hold of episodes of Fist of Fun etc that you guys did, how about it? I'm a newbie at the fringe this year!

I'm based in LA. I thought of you when I went to SF last week and found that record shop on Haight St. Do you remember the Schrams? You got me heavily into them.

Russell Brand spelled your name wrong in his book, "Stuart".

Reading your book "A Perfect Fool" at the moment, it's brilliant - the first book to make me feel physically sick (pig sperm bit) since "Glamorama" when I was twelve.

Good stuff! :D
No Sweat





May 24 2009 10:40 AM

WOW!! The No Sweat benefit gig sold out 6 weeks in advance! Thank you so much for supporting us in this way. Can't wait for the 9th July. Let us know your demands and we'll do our best to comply. A small army of children to make your stage costume is obviously out of the question. Sorry about that.
No Sweat!

Stew - the man at MySpace has told me that you have disclosed your full name to them - why Stew, why! Now you're going to get all the waiths & strays finding you. Rather than looking up "Stewart Lee" they're going to look up "Stewart Lee" instead; and finding you!
They may seem quite similar searches but "Stewart Lee" is surely going to attract the "Stewart Lee" newcommer BBC viewers; whereas "Stewart Lee" is the staple search for us die-hard FOF and TMWRNJ viewers who also know your stuff from Go Faster Stripe.
I know "Stewart Lee" is your name (a bit like Ang Lee - or something - is his, apparently) but couldn't you have just kept it to "Stewart Lee" on here, just for us?
Or maybe you could just totally swap your name altogether; somethig like "Stewart Lee" perhaps (so long as you tell us first, so we'll know) - then that will keep out all the naysayers who may have been looking for "Stewart Lee" just to give you religious kick-ins?
Just a thought though - don't act on it if you don't want to Stew - but think about the consequences if you don't, please.

A Scotch fan here - enjoyed the Beeb series and hope you get another. However, thought you might be interested in this blog I stumbled across which has some very rare folk to download: http://time-has-told-me.blogspot.com/

Nooooo. I didn't see any tickets on sale for the Brighton gig. Sold out now. Hmmpf. That's your fault for being so bloody funny on tv.

I can't get Perfect Fool either. I tried the local library and it's been stolen!! Probably a conspiracy
to make sure we don't read it for free. Are library books the illegal downloads of-when-I-were-a-lad? If I copied books out by hand and didn't own the originals, would I get done for piracy?

Stuck in a post-Sorefingers depression? Frustrated Obama didn't solved two
wars and a credit crunch in his first 100 days?
Summer almost here and the word "cellulite" frustratingly stuck on your
mind?

Then fear not! The Coal Porters are back from Colorado USA where they
recorded their next album and are ready to take on the post-Sorefingers
blues for you and your fine family. On Saturday May 16, this very Saturday,
they play bluegrass the way God intended it to be played by social
malcontents at The Green Note in fashionable Camden Town, north London, at
106 Parkway, London NW1 7AN.

The Green Note is a quaint little bistro with EXCELLENT food and a vast
array of brain-numbing beverages.

Only three minutes walk from Camden tube the Coal Porters are onstage at 8pm
and again for a second show at 10pm.
The house is cleared after the first Coal Porters performance so there are
actually two concerts this evening...allowing the hard-working punter two
complete chances to see media figure Sid Griffin, banjo virtuoso Dick Smith,
real live Scotsman (and ex-standup comic) Neil Robert Herd, bassist Jonny
Bridgwood and fiddle virtuoso Carly Frey in action!

What a VERY clever and funny man you are! By far the best I have seen pretty much ever. There is only one other (Hicks-R.I.P.) that I like as much. Thank you for your brilliance, and giving me laughs (sometimes when I don't even feel like laughing)!!! :) YOU RULE!

Hey Stew, big fan from Australia. Absolutely love your stand up and think you should be in the top 5 greatest comedians of all time and not the top 50. Any plans to do a tour in Australia? Wishful thinking I know, but I think you'd get a great response here.

Cheers,

Pete
