- The comedy genius that is Stewart Lee discusses his must-see new film King Rocker (kingrockerfilm...) - which premiers on Sky Arts on 6th February at 9pm; the state of comedy; the anti-"woke" backlash; culture wars; Brexit; how the pandemic is hitting the arts; and how these days, if you say you're English, you get arrested and thrown in jail.

@@colinbrigham8253 - whats that supposed to mean?
@j sauce - an alternative 'to' the corporate media is different to an alternative corporate media.
You know, the people on the right also want alternatives to the corporate media.
Maybe it's time to stop going against the right and the right stop going against the left. Meet in the middle and destroy this corporate world and then create a media which is balanced. Media without an agenda would be brilliant.
This conversation was a balm for the soul. What a refreshing change to hear gentle, rational, compassionate and funny discourse from two curious minds. Thank you.
Captain Haddock and Tintin have let themselves go...
LOL
That was genuinely hilarious.
hahaha
Bravo sir! That was priceless 🤣
Dammit, you made me laugh out loud
Disgusting interview. I can overlook a lot of differences I have with Owen, but to attempt to rehabilitate the image of Bosnian war criminal Ratko Mladic is simply a step too far.
Lmao
That’s a bit harsh mate. I was just a bit disappointed Owen didn’t ask him about The Word.
You win!
wooossshhh!
Oh, mate....... come on mate?
These days, if you let yourself go, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail.
When was this brought in?
This is the only “...let himself go” comment ever that has actually made me laugh. Well played.
Well said, Taylor!
Barbapapa's let himself go!
Fair play sir
Stewart Lee’s Hitler moustache has let itself go
When your Just for Men beard dye runs out at precisely the worst moment.
Yet again copying Richard Herring
Once you see it...
Like Stewart, my son was also born with one ear significantly higher than the other. NHS didn’t want to know. Just six months of enduring a building brick sellotaped to the high one and symmetry was restored. Honestly.
You my friend just made my day
Hahaha....blind child
When Stewart Lee mentioned Jeremy Corbyn he was actually talking about his cat.
Frank Skinner had a cat called Chairman Meow.
Lee really gave it to him straight, like a pear cider made from 100% pears.
Pear.
Man's not Bot One massive pear??
Shut up, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Dont put any emotions in there. Make sure theres no disappointment in the cider.
You apparently like pear cider?😉
It’s Stewart Lee! You’ve seen him...on the telly. You’ve seen him. Stewart Lee...on the telly. And on the DVDs in the shopping centres. You’ve seen him...on the telly, on the DVDs in the shopping centres...You’ve seen him... on the UA-cams and the telly and the DVDs in the shopping centres...
By the ramp, the thing with the trolleys... the wheelchair ramp...
Is h3
Is he one of those comedians they have these days...
yeah i have seen him by the multi story,with those rapper's
I also once saw Stewart Lee with the rappers on the Top Of The Pops...you’ve seen him...Stewart Lee, on the telly, with the rappers, on The Top Of The Pops and the UA-cams and DVDs in the shopping centres...you’ve seen him...on the telly, with the rappers...
Now. I don’t think this interview was aimed at me.
Eugene Terreblanche has let himself go.
This one is funny
@@herbg4866 (x) has let himself go jokes get funnier the more obscure (x) is. Philosophically speaking, the funniest one will be understood by exactly one person.

Best one when scrolling through, well played sir
Pmsl. You really got me there 😂
Bravo sir 👏 this is the peak version
I see what you are doing... but goddamn that is rough!
Could listen to you two talking all day, speak so much sense.
Thank you for being the voice of reason in such unreasonable times.
David Bellamy's let himself go.
Yeah, isn’t he dead?
He put that weight back on quickly
Stewart!!! Brilliant :) I m grateful in retrospect for all the gigs and live music i saw over last few years, especially though being able to see Stewart live a number of times has been such a privilege, who knows when that's possible again.
To celebrate the end of my chemo on Valentine's day last year I went to see Stewart Lee. He was amazing as usual. Soon after the apocalypse started.
In Brighton? 😬
Stewart Lee has been looking after himself.
That was absolutely wonderful. Thank you both so much. On a day when I have felt so angry about all that’s going on that was like a soothing balm of humanity in the form of a video.
Dead Scottish novelist Alasdair Gray has let himself go.
Haha that was better than mine
Dead Scottish novelist Iain Banks has let himself go.
Jeremy Corbyn has let himself go.
That's clearly Owen Jones.
the cat ?
Stewart Lee ....one of my favourite people. Thanks so much Owen for getting him on.
Very thoughtful, compassionate, brilliant man. Great interview, Owen.
Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock has let himself go
Really thoughtful conversation. Thank you Owen & Stewart. It’s like community counselling for this mad place Britain is in now
John Virgo has let himself go
Cue balls going down the pan.
😂🤣🤣

Owen Jones isn't actually interviewing Stewart Lee: he's actually talking to a version of Owen Jones who's let himself go
Harold Shipman has let himself go.

"The government should make it possible for all musicians to tour Europe, except Roger Daltrey, who has to live in a rabbit hutch now, singing "I hope I die before I get old", over and over again on a loop, in a little rabbit hutch, in a forest, with a mod target drawn on it."
Brilliant!
Geoff Capes has let himself go.
Great conversation, I love Stewart Lee, his comedy and political views - it is hard to see a way through this dark time......
Thank you for this Owen. You both look great, and no one has let themselves go.
That blind guy from Logan’s run has let himself go
What’s he doing on youtube zoom interviews? He should be in the Hague.
Your mixing him up with Tanita Tikaram.
I never knew Captain Birdseye was so political.
that women in the Hague let him go,she said he was fat and depressed.

One of the first things I wanna see after all this is a Stewart Lee show
Sarcasm ?
You should let yourself go
Jack black has let himself go
Captain Birdseye has let himself go.
Stewart Lee hasn’t ever let himself go.
One of the very best ever ✊✌️
@Matt
I can’t argue with that
George RR Martin has let himself go
Terry Waite has let himself go, since they let him go.
You just won today's YT comment section, please pick a prize under £5!
I think “Terry Waite let himself go” would be funnier(?)
@@helipeek2736 I dunno, ask Stuart Lee, he's the professional comedian here.
Mmmm it’s a tight one
What about Terry Waite has let himself go after letting himself go? (not historically accurate I admit but interesting in that it’s ambiguous as to which letting go happened first).
Socrates has let himself go
Terry christian has let himself go
Stewart Lee, well done!!! What a great guest!!!!
I really enjoyed that interview with General Ratko Mladic.
Much nicer bloke in person
@@Cretinsahoppin there was a sad bit at the end
Paul Nuttalls of UKIPs has let himself go.

The ukips, coming over here with their devisive politics and their ever changing abhorrent leadership. Are they still with us?
Great interview. Such an interesting man.
Brian Blessed has let himself go.
Which cat is Jeremy Corbyn? That was one of the best interviews Owen. The humility of you both, the sense of humour through adversity and obvious respect for each other all shone through. As for Stewart's last tour, I must complain that at half time i was in agony! My cheek muscles were on fire from the laughing. Fun fact for that half and most likely a spoiler alert notice for this... Duck-billed Platypus' are flourescent under UV light. Thanks to you both.
So glad to actually watch the video and see that I misread the title and Stewart Lee hasn't gone completely off-piste and made a documentary called 'Woke'.
Let go Yoda himself has.
You win
Terry Christian has let himself go
Roland from Grange Hill has let himself go.
It's funny but I just had to think about what colour Roland was to compare him to Stewart Lee. In my mind the characters name is always pronounced with an exaggerated Jamaican accent. I may have passed on some racism from my younger self..
@@bioux101 at least he was only trying to be helped.

That was so much fun! Love stewart lee. Thanks Owen x

How come?

Stewart lee is a brilliant comedian. I used to be one of those people who didn't understand his comedy and was one of those people who could have wrote those internet comments. But now I think he's great
I do understand Stewart Lee. And I still don't find him funny. I'm tired of people telling me I don't understand him.
i love Stewart Lee, this was a nice surprise in my youtube feed.
The brilliant Stewart Lee bringing sanity to the world!😂👍
Well done Owen. I've been really hoping that you, or Ash, or Aaron would manage to get a Stewart Lee interview. Thanks ever so much.
Sky Arts - I know the feeling. Feel terrible guilt while regularly watching excellent content.
INTELLIGENT HUMOUR. No one is better at it than Stewart Lee. Thank you for this interview!
This should have way more views. Great interview Owen 👍
I like how Lee gives it to him straight, like a pear cider that's made from 100 percent pears
George Galloway has let himself go.
And he’s let go of his Scottish accent and his hat.
THANK YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH - A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO FUNCTIONING HUMAN BEINGS !!!
Rolf Harris has let himself go.
The curious orange has let himself go.
Stewart Lee's bookshelves in dwarfing Owen Jones' bookshelves shock
That's his music collection, of which I am very jealous
Not only are they CDs as pointed out above but a) people don't necessarily have ALL of their books on display when they make videos and b) possessing a book doesn't mean that one has actually read it.
Noam Chomsky has let himself go
I've never seen an interview with Stewart Lee in which he doesn't mention The Fall! He's such a joy to listen to, thanks for a great chat Owen, masterfully conducted as always. I'd love to spend an evening in the pub chatting to Stew about music and comedy. Maybe one day.
It was ‘Folk night’ in our local pub (Prestwich) and the ‘club’ room was full to the brim,with some of the folkies having to get out their guitar straps,and stand up to play.All seats were taken,apart from one banquet seat,there lay,fully stretched out,a very drunk and asleep Mark E Smith.
George Lucas has let himself go.
All of The Dubliners have let themselves go.
Is that a Hitler moustache? Maybe they're still pals after all.
Saw Stewart in Cardiff just before lockdown, was fantastic!
I saw him staring in the window of a closed Cake Shop the other day. He looked sad and depressed.
Hodor has let himself go.
Also, loved the interview. You brought out the best in Lee.
Ang Lee?
@@thejoin4687 You wouldn't like him when he's Ang Lee.
He admires Owen for not getting wound up? LMAO! Owen Jones is legendary for his tantrums and running off shows when he gets shown up
Kenny Rogers has let himself go.
Absolutely brilliant thanks Owen
Thank goodness for Stewart Lee! Lovely interview. Thank you. 🍀🌍💖🎶
Fidel Castro has let himself go
Stewart Lee can never say "Paul Knuttlle from UKIP" without me bursting into laughter.
I've just noticed, Owen Jones looks like mohawk kid from Cobra Kai.
Hawk?
Great conversation, Owen. Thank you (both). 🙂🌸
Giant Haystacks has let himself go
Cracking ref
Oh look, Andy Hamilton has let himself go
Orson Welles has pulled himself together.
That was great, could have watched that conversation roll on for the rest of the evening. Also, would never have known about the King Rocker film airing without tuning in. Thanks both.
Stewie was fantastic in February 2020 in Nottingham. My favourite stand up ever.
I was there too Lesley , allow me to confirm your analysis !
@@vicredshaw1155 Thank you. We got to see him just before it all went crazy.
@@lesleyhollinshead3714 I have a ticket for the show at the same venue , it's been rescheduled , for Feb , I'm slowly giving up hope !

Gandalf has let himself go...
Saw him in mid March last year and he managed to excellently weave the impending Covid-fuelled collapse of civilisation into his set.
Stewart is after Michael Sheen's facial hair growth award! Great interview once again Owen. Cheers.
Great discussion. Lots of sense spoken thank you Owen and Stewart . ❤️
Aw man. I bloody love Stewart Lee.
This has really cheered me up today while I work from home trying to deal with unfathomable new custom clearance procedures - thankyou Owen and Stewart ! National treasures
Ratko Mladic's prison cell is surprisingly well-stocked with books.
Thanks for this, mate. Great interview. Stewart Lee is fantastic too. Off to find one of HIS scarfs online
now!
Really lovely to catch up with the Canadian singer KD Lang after such a long time. Thanks Owen x
very enjoyable thanks for that both of you
