Stewart Lee: The Alternative Comedy Experience 2
Series Two of Comedy Central's cult stand-up showcase, curated once again by Stewart Lee, takes another look at the grassroots stand-up scene - performances unlike anything else on television, with a lineup reflecting an increasingly diverse and innovative scene, including a significant number of female comedians. Returning favourites from Series One include Tony Law, Isy Suttie, David Kay, Simon Munnery, Maeve Higgins, Josie Long, David O'Doherty, Paul Foot, Bridget Christie and Henning Wehn, joined by newcomers Kevin Eldon, Michael Legge, Ginger and Black, Nish Kumar, Liam Mullone, Grainne MaGuire and John Hegley. As before, Lee's behind-the-scenes interviews dig into what drives each act's material, interspersed with their specially filmed live sets. With 13 episodes across the 2-disc set there's little room left for extras, but there's still an exclusive interview and live clip from Trevor Lock.
