Went to see him in London doing the material for this series. My mate got very drunk before hand and started heckling at the start by complimenting Lee saying stuff like "I love you Stewart"..."Do the Cafe Nero joke!".
Whilst it was massively embarrassing, Lee managed to make my mate the butt of many of the jokes throughout the entire set. By the end of the first half he made a sarcastic joke about my mate being a plant because he managed to turn it around so well.
For example my mate had shouted that his cousin was Rob Rowse (another stand-up comedian) to which Lee told him that Rowse would be "******* embarrassed if he could see him right now" but where he got it into his proper set was in the first episode when he jumped from making a light-hearted gag to a serious topic he said "see young comedians that's how you do a segway"; but on our night he stopped, turned and looked in our direction and said "You can tell Rob Rowse that's how you do a ******* segway!"
Have to say, was infinitely funnier than what's ended up of it on TV.
The horrible thing I've noticed is he's started to find himself funny now, struggling to control his facial smirks after delivering each line when he used to be properly dead-pan.
I just think he's becoming lazy and relying too much on an assumption that his audience think whatever he says is genius now. On the night we saw him he turned up on stage wearing an un-ironed polo shirt and a pair of old Jeans as if he couldn't be ***** anymore.
