About this ebook

The explosion of comedy into our lives in recent years with endless panel shows, stand-up shows and high-priced national stadium tours by the new generation of acts featured therein leads Stewart Lee to ask the question -- what kind of material fulfils the needs of these huge audiences?

With annotated transcripts of his award-winning TV series of Comedy Vehicle, TV Comedian is the major new book from the author of How I Escaped My Certain Fate and The 'If You Prefer A Milder Comedian Please Ask For One' E.P.
