The appalling column he writes weekly for the Guardian certainly hasn't helped my opinion of him. Especially with the fawning posts in the comments that follow.


Anyway, back to the more positive 'love' part of this thread. As someone posted a clip of him in the Pope thread... Tim Minchin. Brilliant.

I don't loathe Stewart Lee, I think he is almost great at what he does. He has the audience eating out the palm of his hand. His delivery is spot-on, as is his timing, and he has an original stage presence. He is clever and intersting too, but I don't find him that funny. Doesn't mean I hate him.

I hate Stuart Lee


Yeah, really I do, but not for the right reasons.


My mate works in TV, oh yeah, he's a large-ish cheese. So he got us free tickets to one of Lee's shows, nice I thought!


Only when we got to Islington or wherever & got to the door early, like 45 mins early, we were turned away. "Sorry, full up!"


"But we've got tickets" we protested, though as the guy on the door explained so had all the others in there. Seems they give out way too many freebies, so the show fills up.


Boy was I cheesed off with the large-ish cheese guy, all I could think of was "EXTERMINATE" i'll give you fekkin EXTERMINATE.


Next time i'm going dressed as an 8ft Edam that can time travel.


Woooo ooo oo -dan da ga dang....wooo oooo

"Mitchell and Webb" like all sketch shows, even the best of them, often involves sifting through the dross.

There is a high 'moments of genius' count in that show though.


As performers I guess they're probably quite marmite, but I think they're superb.

I don't think you can accuse Pegg of selling out - he was always pretty geeky, so stuff like Star Trek and Paul seem like a natural fit. You can accuse him of making a couple of really really bad films though - he's lucky Run Fatboy Run didn't finish him.

i've been lazy and not read the whole thread; but i'd like to recommend Daniel Kitson (although i'm sure most know him already, Brendon Burns, Doug Stanhope & Louis CK.


Ricky Gervais should always be mentioned in passing for the Office, but nothing else he's done has come close. I think the xfm podcasts are overrated, extras was boring, his stand up is awful, an idiot abroad was TERRIBLE, and i've not seen Derek and don't want to.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
