AFTER four years of writing and performing half hour episodes of stand up for his TV show, Content Provider is Stewart Lee’s first brand new, long-form, full length show since the award-winning Carpet Remnant World.
The show will be playing at Mayflower Theatre on May 3.
Stewart Lee began stand-up in 1988 at the age of 20, and won the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 1990. He later co-wrote the libretto for Richard Thomas’s Jerry Springer, The Opera, which went on to win four Olivier Awards.
Stewart's most recent live shows have been Carpet Remnant World (2011), Much A Stew About Nothing (2013) and Room With a Stew (2015).
He made four series of Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle for the BBC which won Best Male TV Comic and Best Comedy Entertainment Performance at the British Comedy Awards in 2011 and a BAFTA in 2012.
His fourth and final BBC series of Comedy Vehicle is now available on DVD. Stewart is also an occasional newspaper columnist and has recently published a collection of his short prose, also entitled Content Provider.
Tickets for the Southampton show are on sale now from 023 8071 1811 or online at mayflower.org.uk.
