Veteran stand-up Stewart Lee has announced a brand-new show for late 2024 and 2025. Tickets for the shows will go on sale at 10am on Thursday 28 March. Scroll to the bottom of this article for the full list of his new show dates announced so far. 

Lee’s latest show is titled Stewart Lee Vs The Man Wulf. A press release claims ‘[Lee] is in danger of being left behind. He's approaching 60 with debilitating health conditions, his TV profile has diminished, and his once Bafta-award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete in the face of a wave of callous Netflix-endorsed comedy of anger, monetising the denigration of minorities for millions of dollars. 

‘But can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends like Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side-splitting stadium-stuffing shit-posting?’

Starting with a residency at London’s Leicester Square Theatre in December 2024 and January 2025, Lee will then visit Southampton, Birmingham, Oxford, Canterbury, Salford, Sheffield, Liverpool and Leeds, with more dates to be added.
