Seminal stand-up comedian Stewart Lee is bringing his brand-new show to Bristol

Posted on: 19 Sep 2024

Dubbed ‘Stewart Lee VS The Man-Wulf’, the show sees Lee share the stage with a tough-talking, humanity-hating werewolf comedian from the dark forests of North America.

 

Stewart Lee’s ‘Stewart Lee VS The Man-Wulf’ runs at Bristol Beacon on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 October 2025.

 

“The Man-Wulf lays down a ferocious comedy challenge to the culturally irrelevant and physically enfeebled Lee. Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee’s unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up?”. General sale tickets for this one go on sale tomorrow, Friday 20 September 2024.

Stewart Lee is in real danger of being left behind. He’s approaching 60 years old with debilitating health conditions, his TV profile has diminished, and his once BAFTA award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete.

 

But, can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends such as Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side-splitting stadium-stuffing sh*t posting.

 

Lee began his stand-up career in 1988 at the age of just 20, winning the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year award two years later. In 2001, he co-wrote the libretto for Jerry Springer: The Opera, which went on to win four Olivier Awards.

 

Known for his groundbreaking style and use of repetition, Lee has also won Best Male TV Comic and Best Comedy Entertainment Performance at the British Comedy Awards and his BBC show, Comedy Vehicle, won a BAFTA back in 2012.

 

In addition to Bristol, ‘Stewart Lee VS The Man Wolf’ will run at venues in London, Southampton, Birmingham, York, Oxford, Leicester, Salford, Sheffield, Peterborough, Northampton, Nottingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Wolverhampton, Portsmouth, Bath, Cardiff and more.

 

'Stewart Lee VS The Man-Wulf’ runs at Bristol Beacon on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 October 2025 with tickets on sale tomorrow, Friday 20 September 2024. Secure yours HERE.
