Carpet Remnant World now sits as kind of... mid period Stew stand-up, there's a lot in here that's very strong, but there's a baggy amount of extensive crowd watching that only really works if you're in the room with him and can sense the atmosphere. It's a fantastic trick live but he overplays it here (or it could have been edited down). The whole concept is one about utopian visions gone to seed and middle-aged listlessness, some of it lands fantastically, some of it drifts off into nothing but there's a nicely unintentional "before the bad times" warmness to the whole thing and that he says he was inspired to film at the Lyceum due to his good reception there the time before (a show I was at) warms me cockles.

The first time I saw Lee was back in 1985, before he got famous and everyone else got into him. He was then a promising young stand up.

The second time I saw Lee, in 1996, he was was working as an apprentice fitter at Quik-fit and was responsible for replacing tyre-valve caps. He was rubbish at his job then and still is. He managed to put one valve on the end of my aerial and lost the other three. So too, in this video, he misplaces the focus of his foul temper and has a go at the audience for not understanding his jokes and not laughing and calling them 'stupid'. However, it was filmed in Sheffield.

The third time I saw Lee was behind the Manchester Apollo where he was kicking the **** out of Des O' Connor, demanding that he share his material with him, so I find it a little hypocritical that Lee criticises other classier acts and calls them 'stupid'. He also criticises Scooby Doo, unfairly, in my opinion.

The fourth time I saw Lee, I was siting in the upper-circle at the Sheffield arena where the show was filmed, and for your information, Lee, I did understand the jokes, but chose not to laugh at them because they were like you; not funny, or was it because I had car-tyre valves misplaced in my ears?

However, I would describe the show as 'quite good'. Lee just needs to include some more observational humour and include some more jokes about old people or something.
