Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

Please note this is the same show that was performed on Mon 23 January 2023   John Mackay, in association with Debi Allen/ Curtis Brown, presents STEWART LEE: BASIC LEE Returning to Northampton after selling out in 2023! After a decade of ground breaking high concept shows involving overarched interlinked narratives, massive sets and enormous comedy props, Lee enters the post-pandemic era in streamlined solo stand up mode. One man, one microphone, and one microphone in the wings in case the one on stage breaks. Pure. Simple. Classic. Basic Lee. “The world’s greatest living stand up” The Times
