Christmas Carole

Christmas Carole

Carole Mackay is an unashamedly outspoken and wealthy entrepreneur. Her online business selling all things festive has earned her a fortune, as well as the nickname 'Christmas Carole'. But her success hasn't made her a better human being. In fact, it's made her worse. The truth is that Carole is a monumentally mean person. Positively Scrooge-like. And, just like Ebeneezer, she doesn't love Christmas at all. But this Christmas Eve, Carole's past, present and future are about to collide. Will some rather familiar Christmas spirits help her discover the true spirit of Christmas?

The Fringe, Fame and Me

The Fringe, Fame and Me

The Fringe, Fame and Me is the story of how a small Scottish arts festival that began 75 years ago this year became a national institution – a crucible where new stars are forged, careers made, and sometimes, dreams dashed. Told by the stars who first found fame at the Edinburgh Fringe, this is the inside story of what it takes to make a name here, from those who enjoyed overnight success to those who slogged for years to make it. Through their triumphs, favourite jokes, and sometimes painful failures, we’ll discover a hidden history of British comedy – revealing how the gags we find funny and the comedians we love reflect our changing culture.

King Rocker

King Rocker

How does a working class autodidact, with no visible means of support, maintain his role as the leader of a cult British underground band into its fifth decade? Comedian and writer Stewart Lee, director Michael Cumming and James Nicholls investigate the mysterious existence of Robert Lloyd, Britain’s ultimate post-punk survivor. Robert Lloyd’s Prefects played with The Clash on the White Riot tour in 1977, and their ongoing incarnation, as Birmingham’s Captain Beefheart suffused post-punk poets The Nightingales, recorded more John Peel sessions than any other band. Ever. But what were the social, cultural and economic circumstances that enabled and sustained such outsider artists in the punk and post-punk eras, and how has the world changed to the point where such figures are unlikely to flourish in the same way today? Lloyd’s own odyssey echoes how abstract notions of social mobility, of the value of culture and music, have changed in the last five decades.

It's In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves, Pt. 2

It's In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves, Pt. 2

Recorded at the Hackney Empire over two nights - March 29th and April 1st 2019, this is the show that I toured the UK with in 2018 & 2019 and then took to New York and Montreal. It’s about Brexit, Trump losing heroes and getting arrested. It also covers my unlikely (and ill-advised) transformation from comedian into news commentator.

It’s In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves, Pt. 1

Recorded live at the Duchess Theatre, London on December 12th 2016, this is the show that I did in Edinburgh, and then on tour that year, culminating in this performance captured on whatever the modern word is for tape. The show is about gentrification, history and the rise of the far right and what happened to me on Brexit night. Technically speaking, this is a recording of ‘Actions Speak Louder Than Words… Unless You Shout The Words Real Loud‘. Recorded by Zak Annette and mixed and edited by Chris Hamilton and the artwork was by Jasmine Thompson.
