Tornado
The Bafta-winning Stewart Lee performs his latest touring show, focusing on a bizarrely erroneous description of his work on Netflix and a mind-boggling review from Alan Bennett.
Bafta-winning comedian Stewart Lee 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.' So went the Netflix description for a listing of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, Lee's Bafta-winning 大象传媒 TV series from 2016. Rather than being corrected, the description stayed like that for two years.
It is this small-but-significant mistake that puts Lee on a journey of self-discovery as he considers a world that doesn't seem to care that the Times described him as 'the world's greatest living stand-up'.
Along the way, he tries to become friends with other stand-ups, receives a puzzlingly positive review from Alan Bennett, and gets up close and personal with US comedian Dave Chappelle's security detail.
