Stewart Lee shares the stage with his werewolf alter-ego, The Man-Wulf, in a new stand-up show about his career.
Stewart Lee is at Salisbury City Hall on Thursday 5 November, with a brand new show called Stewart Lee vs The Man-Wulf. It's a bit of a strange one on paper: Lee shares the stage with The Man-Wulf, a tough-talking werewolf comedian who's come out of the dark forests of the subconscious, hates humanity, and lays down a ferocious comedy challenge for Lee to answer.
The whole thing is built around Lee's own self-deprecating take on his career. Approaching sixty and dealing with debilitating health conditions, he feels his once BAFTA award-winning stand-up style has grown obsolete against a wave of Netflix-endorsed comedy of anger. He quotes The Times calling him 'the world's greatest living stand-up comedian' and says he aims to position himself alongside figures such as Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson. It's that particular tension — the gap between the high praise and how he sees himself — that sits at the heart of the piece.
It's presented by John Mackay and Sally Homer in association with Debi Allen and Curtis Brown. The show runs about two hours plus interval, so it's a proper night out rather than a quick set. There's age guidance of 14+, and under-18s need to be in a 1:4 ratio with a parent or guardian.
