Stand-up comedian and semi-harmless fanatic Daniel Powell and fellow stand-up/relative Stewart Lee newbie (stewbie?) Joe Kirkwood (plus the occasional guest), take a deep dive into the work of The Comedian Stewart Lee. Expect many uses of the word "deconstruction", at least one use of "avant-garde" (probably out of context) per episode, and much tedious quoting of favourite lines and routines from the vast back catalogue of Mr Lee's work. To prevent things descending into cackling sycophant ...

Melancholy. Hopeful. Whimsical. Poetic. Bearded. These are just some of the accusatory adjectives that have been laid at the feet of the Yorkshire born overlord of theatrical stand-up, Daniel Kitson. To understand the sheer breadth of his influence upon the comedy scene in the UK and beyond would take more words than the count here allows, so you'l…

If ATS podcast episodes were to adopt the naming conventions of the popular nineties American Sitcom Friends, this episode would be "The One Where Dan Gets Cancelled" After a minor misunderstanding over the conventions regarding the context of analysis and reportage vs actual bigotry, Dan gets himself into hot water (no, not the popular male only s…

Do not adjust your podcast listening equipment. This is not a glitch, virus, or other undesirable affect of living in the modern media landscape. We are in fact back. Now, whilst this may be an unwelcome event for most of you, to those of you who care about such things, we are sorry for the lengthy absence, it will probably happen again because no …

Here, Dan and Joe step back in time to a world when no one had any money and the world was on the brink of complete financial collapse. No, it wasn't last week. It was fifteen years ago. And although the world recovered financially for a little while, normal service has been resumed and no one has any money again. "AT LEAST WE STILL HAVE STEWART LE…

Dan caught up with bona fide COMEDY GENIUS Dave Cohen (Horrible Histories, HIGNFY, Spitting Image, loads of other stuff) to Stew the Fat (yes we will continuously repeat these tedious puns) about his days as a stand up in the erly days of Alternative Comedy, establishing the now world famous Comedy Store players (with, amongst others, Paul Merton a…

This week Dan and Joe take a rambling (and detour filled) ride around Political Correctness, episode three of series one of Comedy Vehicle. Amongst the topics discussed are motorway service stations, not reading books, and racism. All the topics. Because this episode contains loads of content that was already covered in the 41st Best episode, we've…

Dan and Joe look at the second episode from Comedy Vehicle Series 1, Television. This episode features arguably some of the weakest stand-up of the series (Stew's words) but some of the strongest sketches (our words), with the classic Del Boy/Wicker Man nightmare crossover that you never asked for. Recording of this episode was a tricky proposition…

Greetings A-stew-nauts! (that's like a Time Vine pun, not something I would do, really) Back in February, we did an experimental live episode to see how it feels to a) let someone else talk for most of it, b) do it in front of a live audience (insert Lee Mack joke here) and c) only do it for an hour (Lee Mack Style topper goes here). Our guest Mich…

Stew also takes aim at…

In this episode, Dan and Joe battle adverse weather and terrible internet connections to bring you this mammoth episode, looking at Stew's 2008 effort '41st Best Stand-Up...Ever'. This special finds 'The Comedian Stewart Lee' in an odd state of limbo, as he is lauded as the 41st best stand-up ever by one of those rubbish late night countdown shows …

In this episode, Dan and Joe revisit Stew's seminal, revolutionary 2006 work '90s Comedian', which largely deals with the backlash faced by Stew and the composer Richard Thomas in response to their critically acclaimed (and Olivier Award winning) theatre show 'Jerry Springer: The Opera'. Joe and Dan pick apart the finer points of this set and discu…

Dan and Joe take a deep dive into Stewart Lee's first ever live stand-up DVD "Stand-Up Comedian", filmed at The Stand in Glasgow. There were some issues with the audio on this recording, despite flawless test runs, although, other than the audio suddenly switching from mono to stereo after the intro (and a bit too much of Dan and Joe's awfully labo…
