Watch Stewart Lee: If You Prefer a Milder Comedian, Please Ask for One Online

Television's Frankie Boyle has stated that no-one over 40 must do stand-up, as the old comedians lose their side and their rage. Stewart Lee is 42 and Frankie's ruthless Scottish words have actually made him wonder if it deserves carrying on. Undaunted, the intensely frustrated comic tries to win round the legendarily severe Glasgow target market with a crowd-pleasing Mcintyre-style routine concerning coffee shops, yet is sidetracked by ratings of fictional pirates; he attempts to discuss everyday middle aged males's concerns, yet is attracted into a forty min tirade against Top Equipment and all it means; he tries to locate some commonalities with pleased childhood years memories that he as well as the target market can share, however is instead taken in with loathing and also anguish as a result of a Magners' Cider ad campaign.
