Stewart Lee must be the most overrated thing in the entire universe.

Makes a welcome change to the tired observational comedy or one-liner formula that we're normally treated to. I don't think it has anything to do with elitism. It's simply carrying on in the surreal comedy tradition of Peter Cook, Spike Milligan and Python and applying it to stand-up. Admittedly some of Stewart Lee's fans can be real social cliches, but that's always going to happen in the case that a performer or entertainer's lack of mainstream success runs counter to the quality of their material.
