Stewart Lee, good or bad?

His bit on top gear is hilarious

The bitter, smugness is all part of his stage persona. Personally I find it hilarious.

From the man himself in the Satire episode

"You hear that, applause? I'm not interested in laughs - that's what I'm looking for, applause.
"I went to see Stewart Lee at the weekend"
"Oh was it funny?"
"No, but I agreed the <blank> out of it"
I'm not aiming for laughs, what I'm aiming for is a temporary mass liberal consensus."

I generally don't find stand up THAT funny - this chap seems rather clever/witty though, but I have to say I watched through a few of the vids posted, and whilst I smirked a few times, I can't say that I "LOL'ed".

Not many comedians actually make me laugh in fact I don't even know the name of that many comedians as it's not something I'm particularly interested in watching.

I like shows like 8 out of 10 cats, have I got news for you etc... as I find them much more interesting, pure stand up does very little for me.
