Stewart Lee, a Bafta-winning comedian, performs the second half of his tour show, filmed live at York Theatre Royal in May 2022.
‘Reports of sharks falling from the sky are on the rise again, and no one on the Eastern Seaboard is safe’. According to the Netflix listing for Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, Lee’s Bafta-winning 2016 BBC TV series, The description was not changed; it remained unchanged for two years.
Lee embarks on a journey of self-discovery as a result of this small but significant error as he considers a world that doesn’t seem to care that The Times called him “the world’s greatest living stand-up.”
Along the way, he makes an effort to get along with other stand-up comedians, gets a perplexingly positive review from Alan Bennett, and interacts closely with US comedy superstar Dave Chappelle’s security team.
