I can't stand Lee. Most over rated performer going. Shitting on other acts as your act is weak. He is smart and notices smart things but he isn't funny, just a know it all.

New Greg Davies special on that there Netflix. Not as good as his last two shows (especially Cheeseballs), still pretty great.

In the first series of Comedy Vehicle, I was impressed by how masterly you seemed, how in control of the room, how cocky, almost. You could turn your shoulder to the audience and walk away, safe in the knowledge that you had them in the palm of your hand. But that has disintegrated now, and your character seems barely in control at all. Was that a planned progression?

SL: No, it's just developed. I'd got to the end of that thing. If I was to watch that first series again, I don't think I'd like the stuff in there. Cos he's a sort of high-status figure, dissing people. And there's not enough in it that suggests the criticism's also of him, or suggests that he's got some sort of problem. It may be that it's gone too far the other way now. We'll see what people make of it.

When I really tried to start again, in 2004, and really think about what I was trying to do in stand-up – and I had to do something, because I was in a lot of trouble financially and I knew I had to make something work – that's partly why I started to take the piss out of famous comedians. [Lee fans will be familiar with his mocking references to the likes of Michael McIntyre, Lee Mack, and "those Russell comedians they have now"] You'd get reviewers going, 'It's not shocking like Frankie Boyle', but I wasn't trying to do that. You can't say, 'It's failed because it's not that.' So I overstated my case, really, in order to clear the decks, so they couldn't compare me to anyone else. But the problem with that is, had I known how well it might do, I probably wouldn't have said that, about those people. Because the things I said hang around, and it doesn't make sense now you're doing four nights at Brighton Dome.

I saw a video of Greg Delaney doing some one liners yesterday and I was in tears at a few of them. Some of my favourites included “My girlfriends arse is like a peach, hairy and makes a terrible yogurt” And “My grief counsellor died recently, luckily he was so good I didn’t give a shit”
