  • In this episode, Rob is joined by comedian Stewart Lee to discuss his new stand-up shows on BBC iPlayer: Snowflake and Tornado.
    The pair talk about whether a joke needs to have a victim, the type of audiences Stewart’s shows attract, and how the deadpan star really feels about Ricky Gervais, John Cleese, and other comedians he mentions in his routines.
    We also find out why there may be a lot of people in the Philippines who think that Stewart wrote Blackadder.

      Cause Brydon's a real one. He's made some truly dark and interesting comedy that horribly overlooked now and yet is smashing it with light entertainment and his elvis obsessions. He's a lovely weird dude and it's great that Lee of all cynical F's shows such immediate joy seeing Rob. Brydon is disarmingly funny. He's got technique under another technique under another and yet makes that not feel impersonal and contrived. Not easily done. It tends toward people of good character.

      Also liking The Fall is a really desperate attempt at the same.
      His comedic observations on right wingers is based completely on straw men and his old 80s fart desires about the right.

    I've been heartened to see this interview make it to the Independent news site, and the ensuring row about "who is this so-called comedian, who dares to insult our sacred cow, Ricky?!?!?!" from the usual group of the Indy comment section's have-a-go-heroes.
    But he makes a very fair point. Gervais went full supernova with The Office, and he's got gradually more and more mainstream and family friendly in terms of his drama-comedy, to the point where it's almost like they were written by two completely different people. Diminishing returns, indeed. And I quite like both Derek and After Life.

      He definitely needed someone to help him with the writing, editing and production etc. it’s full of creative decisions that just scream ‘that will do’, and to my mind that comes from his low opinion of his audience and over-rating his own skill, and I reckon some collaboration may have alleviated that a bit.
