Description
Following his hugely acclaimed TV come-back Comedy Vehicle, Lee finds himself in search of ideas for a new Edinburgh show. On a long walk across London, he endures a coffee shop humiliation involving a loyalty card which suggests itself as a framing device. Later that month, thanks to Jeremy Clarkson's casual slur against Gordon Brown and the appearance of a well-meaning young comedian in an advert, a show is born. Featuring a transcript of the show fully annotated with footnotes, the If You Prefer A Milder Comedian EP confirms Stewart Lee as the most original, daring and brilliant comedian of his generation.

His most recent stand-up shows have been 'Stand Up Comedian' , '90s Comedian', '41st Best Stand-up Comedian' and 'If You Prefer a Milder Comedian, Please Ask for One'. A second series of 'Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle' aired on BBC2 in spring 2011 to great acclaim.
