Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee‘s unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up? \nStewart Lee is in danger of being left behind. He’s approaching sixty with debilitating health conditions\, his TV profile has diminished\, and his once BAFTA award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete. But can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends like Dave Chappelle\, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side-splitting stadium-stuffing sh*t-posting? \n\n\nImage gallery

SUMMARY:Stewart Lee Vs The Man-Wulf
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £30.50*\nAge\n14+\nDuration\n2hrs\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse\n\n\n\n The world’s greatest living stand-up comedian\nThe Times \n\n \nReturning to Oxford Playhouse after selling out in 2025! \nStewart Lee shares his stage with a tough-talking werewolf comedian from the dark forests of the subconscious who hates humanity. The Man-Wulf lays down a ferocious comedy challenge to the culturally irrelevant and physically enfeebled Lee. Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee‘s unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up? \nStewart Lee is in danger of being left behind. He’s approaching sixty with debilitating health conditions\, his TV profile has diminished\, and his once BAFTA award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete. But can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends like Dave Chappelle\, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side-splitting stadium-stuffing sh*t-posting? \n\n\nImage gallery
