Tonight i went to watch Stuart Lee at a rather intimate gig in Oxfordshire. Now i am familiar with most comedians and their style but this was someone with whom i had no experience. I did contemplate using Youtube to familiarise myself with his comedy buti decided not to. In the end i went to the gig blind and with no idea what to expect. I knew the name, he has after all had his own TV show, which i failed to watch. Maybe i should have taken this as a sign that maybe Stuart Lee was not really my thing. I think that it may be ignorant to judge someone without seeing them perform.
Watching Stuart Lee perform is a very surreal experience. He is an intelligent man and it was a very intelligent show. I'm sure that there were people that didn't get certain things. I won't lie, i admit that i struggled at points. When i sat down i didn't know what to expect. Now i know that his shows involve satirical, dry and occasionally dark humour. I laughed but not all of the time. Some things were funny and others just bizarre. It was an enjoyable evening despite leaving me perplexed at times. Would i go and see him again? The truthful answer is i really don't know.
