Stuart Lee on Joe Pasquale

Posted on February 16, 2007 by Randi Mooney

This is one of my favourites from Stuart Lee’s 2005 set. I saw him perform this live in the more intimate setting of Crouch End’s “Downstairs at the Kings Head”, however I think it works just as well in front … Continue reading →
