And now another new blog feature. Get your fish out and put them by the side of your monitor: it’s time to worship at the shrine of Stewart Lee.
This one’s going to be looking at the highlights of his career – some of his most important work, in fact – so naturally, what else would I call it except “Lee Majors”?
Stewart Lee managed to get into the blog pantheon through his wise musings on the state of television. So it only seems fitting that we start off with some of his wiser stand-up routines – he is, after all, best known as a stand-up. In fact, he’s the 41st best stand-up comedian ever, apparently.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
