Stewart Lee Carpet Remnant World

STEWART LEE - CARPET REMNANT WORLD

BEST AVAILABILITY FROM 3rd Jan 2012

 A new full length touring show from the acclaimed star of BBC2’s Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle. “The funniest thing on television" The Guardian
 What can a sexless middle aged married man, whose life now consists mainly of watching Scooby Doo cartoons with a four year old boy, possibly find to write comedy about? Formerly stand-up’s youthful iconoclast, Lee now gawps blankly at News 24 as Britain burns down around him, and blinks weirdly at the vast wayside retail outlets during endless journeys to and from increasingly indistinct provincial theatres. Once he lived on the pleasure planet. Now he is trapped in Carpet Remnant World.  And so are you.
