Stuart Lee on Braveheart....brilliant.

"Now she was a real historical figure, that French princess. But at the time of the death of William Wallace, Braveheart, your national hero, she was only 4 years old. Now, Glasgow, Im not saying that William Wallace, Braveheart, your national hero,didn't have sex with her. You know,he probably did. If I look at my own background there's a lot of sexual opportunism involved. Im not saying he didn't have sex with her but if he did, and he definitely did, it would have been a far less romantic scene than the one enacted by Mel Gibson in the film Braveheart. It may have happened in a tent but it would still have been not a romantic scene. Because that would have made William Wallace, Braveheart, your national hero, a paedophile. A Scottish paedophile. The worst kind of paedophile that there is"

I saw him recently in Brighton. I think he's a clever satirist but I don't find him all that funny, although people all round me were guffawing. Not my idea of 'stand-up' really.
It's odd you say that. I saw him on telly the other night and after the filmed standard stand-up there was a high-tech slo-mo recreation of a scene from his sketch. The contrast in presentation between live and staged was striking - almost as though he's caught between 2 extremes.

I like him, mind, if only because he does trenchant better than anybody else on TV right now.

I saw him on TV last night. He looked fat.

I like him, his humour is right up my street. Not really into stand-up that much, but the popular comedians that appear to be around now, John Bishop, Michael McIntyre, Frankie Boyle etc, do absolutely nothing me. I guess comedy is obviously personal thing.
