Description
Stewart Lee's memoir of his remarkable comeback to stand-up comedy, detailing his journey from disillusionment to critical acclaim.
After a decade in the business, Lee quit stand-up in 2001, but returned to live performance nine years later, with unprecedented access to his creative process revealed in this book. The three legendary full-length shows that sealed his reputation are told through transcripts, offering a frank and detailed account of his act's inspiration and inner workings.
With his characteristic intelligence, honesty, and humour, Lee shares the story of his remarkable comeback, from writing and developing his shows to taking them on tour.
