Stewart Lee: 41st Best Stand-Up Ever!

In a move that simultaneously validates his artistic worth and highlights the absurdity of celebrity rankings, comedian Stewart Lee stars in this 2008 stand-up special, which takes aim at the ridiculous notion of being voted the "41st best stand-up of all time." With characteristic wit and self-deprecation, Lee tackles the contradictions between critical acclaim and personal opinions - including a very specific one from his mother about Tom O'Connor. What follows is a razor-sharp exploration of comedy's quirks and the perils of taking oneself too seriously.
