Karel thanks for having us and looking after us so well . After a decade of ground-breaking high concept shows involving overarched interlinked narratives, massive sets and enormous comedy props, Lee enters the post-pandemic era in streamlined solo stand-up mode. One man, one microphone, and one microphone in the wings in case the one on stage breaks. Pure. Simple. Classic. Basic Lee. “The world’s greatest living stand-up” (Times) “Basically, basic Lee is better than most” 4 stars The Telegraph “Basically, Basic Lee is very funny” 4 stars The Times “Basically, back-to-basics Basic Lee is anything but” 5 stars Mail on Sunday “It’s brilliantly choreographed, razor-sharp and laugh-aloud hilarious, but anything but basic” |

Lee has something in common with Ben Elton, having once been at the vanguard of a stand-up movement and now the writer of a West End show.
(Jerry Springer The opera). But that's where the similarities, thankfully, end, with Lee still on top of his game,
and true to his original voice. Anyone serious about comedy should watch and learn.
Chortle
"Not only does he wholly command his material and delivery - he knows exactly how to build a set piece and detonate it
with perfect timing, as you'd expect after 17 years of performing ...
go if you want to laugh so hard that you leave in pain, and if you want to see one of the most intelligent and courageous comedians currently at work."
