And while most comedians would stop there, he makes a right turn. His routine about the royal wedding climaxes at a point where the audience must laugh at an obvious joke that Lee does not make. He’s very big on complaining about one part of the audience not appreciating a joke, for example. When I’ve introduced Stewart Lee to my friends they show the same apathy that I do a new song by Meghan Trainor. Of course, those aren’t the routines that make it onto DVD and YouTube. In about 10 percent of the cases, he has to figure out a way to work around it. Add the salt and herbs and let simmer for 2 minutes. The audience doesn’t always do what he’s primed them to do. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the oil garlic, onions, and orange and saute for 4 minutes. For example, he refers to the two women with “pink hair.” That wasn’t planned, but he knew there would be people in the audience he could point out.Īctually, I saw an interview with him in which he talked about needing to finesse routines. Watching different performances of Stewart Lee, I’ve learned that he can anticipate his audience. And even though much of it seems ad-libbed, it is in only the simplest ways.
