The excesses of Dave Hill from Slade and Stu's rejected Fitness First campaign are a match made in heaven. And what a missed opportunity for product placement, mon pied.

This man's preparation is so meticulous. He has practiced the emphasis on every phrase in every sentence and makes it look spontaneous. He is hilarious yet has no gimmicks, no funny faces, no funny voices, no physical comedy, and he actually tries to make people dislike him! Wonderful!

The genius hides in the genius. Stu weaves Shake's words into the narrative so effortlessly that you don't realize what's happening until you're already lost in the beauty and profundity of the Bard's words. And then.. ..free water bottle.

Stu, being the best at what he does, which neither him, or his critics, know exactly what it is. (this an amalgamation of no less than THREE Stewart Lee's jokes, and a sentence I happen to agree with). Still, the "Coming over here" piece stands, on its own, as one of the greatest entertainment moments in TV history. TY for the upload.

I met Stewart Lee in 2009 in a shop near Guernsey that sold treadmills for mice. He was there conversing with the shopping assistant about the length of a piece of string, so I tapped him on the shoulder and asked for an autograph and he said, quick as a flash, he goes, "But you aren't even famous, mate."

The real truth and irony about exercise is on the day you die you will never know if it ever did you any good at all? I think Stewart understands that irony .... The same applies if you smoke and drink whisky to excess in your life ... That's why life is just a subject to laugh and joke about above anything ...
