British stand up stinks.
Literally none of it is good. Stewart Lee is somebody people bring up as a good standup and he's just a windbag who thinks he's really clever. The last time they had good comedy TV programming was in the 2000s (like in America or anywhere else). Stuff like Harry and Paul/Anything Armando Iannucci or Chris Morris did is still great.

Stand up is shit but I'll credit him with clearly wanting that to be the main thing he does rather than a podcast or a sitcom. Plus as it's one liners it's probably really hard to dl it for 20+ years all over the world like he does

Only Jerry Sadowitz and early Frankie Boyle was the closest Britain got to good stand up, everyone else is fucking shit.

As for Stewart Lee.:image_9253_lg:

Yeah he pretty much just does one liners and street jokes.

This will always make me laugh though



Jimmy Carr was a lot like Frankie Boyle in that what made them funny was being incredibly cruel in the context of an otherwise fairly tame show, like Frankie on Mock The Week.

Their specials are 90% crowd work and jokes you've heard before. Frankie had some brutal jokes though.
