So its his perceived audience you don't like?what i don't like about him is the sense that he is the comedian for smug, self-satisfied guardianistas.
what i don't like about him is the sense that he is the comedian for smug, self-satisfied guardianistas. i love comics like george carlin and bill hicks, but that's because there is a rage about the shit state of the world fuelling what they are saying. with lee, its more like he's just the spokesman for a big clique full of people that feel very smug about being in that clique.

Lurk, if you want to put folk off then be careful what you say about him. You may well end up advertising him on his website. Oscar Wilde's words on being talked about are as true as ever.
He's conspicuous by his absence from all the usual comedy TV same-old-faces lightweight piffle like Mock the Week - his professional record places him in a league far above that. The Top Gear routine is bang on the mark.
