And now, to prepare you for tonight's full Lee Nelson experience, here are a few words from the man himself:
Lee on... Lee
My name is Lee Nelson and I'm a massive legend. I live in London and I got my own TV show called Lee Nelson's Well Good Show. Over 600 million people r watching every week and since it come out I've banged 7 birds. Quality! If u missed an episode don't worry I'm sure u can sort urself a copy off someone from China.
Lee on... Omelette
Omelette is my best mate, we grew up together and I've known him since he was an egg. All u need to know about Omelette is that he's a fat legend, nuf said. We have a right larf together on my show and I get him to do stuff he well don't want to do - like we stripped him to his pants, covered him in cream and got a dog to lick it off. Qwaliteeee!
Lee on... his Nan
Every show I get my Nan to sing a qwality tune by like Dizzee or Wiley or The Streets. She's got the worst voice ever, it's proper funny. I luv my nan though and I respect her generation - I mean if u think we got it tough now back in the day a Gillette only had 1 blade!
Lee on... Jason Bent
Jason Bent is a well brilliant Premier League footballer and he's given us 110% access to his life as a footballer in his own reality TV show 110% Bent.

Nelson's jokes are as insultingly dim-witted as his "chav" character, and often deeply unoriginal, too. God knows why I bothered checking out week 2, but it confirmed my first impression. Painfully unfunny. Bring back KLANG!

As for poor taste Jonathan Ross exhibits it in everything he does & is paid millions. Norton is close behind.
I'm surprised by how po-faced most of these reviews are. Brodkin's material is fairly original & mostly entertaining ( OK maybe not the singing nan or 'say it in an accent') & his audience interaction is as good as it gets. Frank Skinner can't deliver better.
The problem with the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is not stuff like this but bilge like 'Waterloo Road' & 'Doctors'.

It's gone so downhill since then I wouldn't even be surprised to see something like that actually hit the screens.
What a tragic waste of investment, as I feel anybody with an IQ above room temperature would completely disregard this show, however that doesn't seem to be who the programmes are aimed at anymore....
Same can be said for that absolutely appalling show "Mongrels". The humour is pretty much non-existant. It seriously makes me cringe, much like "Coming of Age".
All of this is happening whilst Jonathan Ross, one of the last remaining good shows, comes to an end...

The character of Nelson is a vague South London stereotype but his mixture of geezer likeability and ASBO 'chav' make him constantly entertaining. Some of his one-liners to the studio audience are excellent and it takes us back to the old days of stand up. Compare this to that staid ole 1970's format sketch show Mitchell and Webb - let's face it David Mitchell is tailor made for Radio 4 and as a duo they have never been funny out of Peep Show. Lee Nelson by comparison is pure qualiteee!

The only thing that spoils it for me is Doctor Bob who is simply cringeworthy, but this is the first series and these bits will be ironed out I am sure. A good first series with lots of potential.

The fact that he is playing every night throughout August and each show is selling out speaks volumes for his fan base which even surprised me. He is one of the finest comedians out there and if all these short sighted people looked past his 'chav' attire they would see that he is extemely witty and excells in audience interaction.

I'd seen some of the preview clips and found myself completely uninterested in, if not downright repelled by, the main chav-like character, 'Lee', so avoided it like the plague, until one night I found myself with bugger all else to watch; but, much to my surprise, I absolutely loved the show, ESPECIALLY 'Lee'! Even his catchphrase "quali'y", (pronounced "qual-i-eee!" with a huge glottal stop on the 't', or so it sounds to me), didn't get on my t*ts.
I loved all the characters, except the trendy, right on, young person's TV host who's actually quite accurate for the type but you don't have a sense of Lee feeling anything like the authentic affection if not downright love he pours into, say, Doctor Bob or Jason Bent.
Anyone making British character films should recruit this guy immediately: he's capable of Academy award standard levels of performance; but for god sakes, don't let East Enders anywhere near him!
