Snowflake

Stewart Lee is a ‘snowflake’, and in this hour from his tour, the Bafta-winning comedian illustrates how being ‘woke’ doesn’t mean having to sacrifice freedom of speech.

Bafta-winning comedian Stewart Lee performs one half of his tour show, filmed live at York Theatre Royal in May 2022.

In this hour, Lee tackles cancel culture, free speech, identity politics, and being ‘woke’, all from the position of being a self-confessed ‘snowflake’.

He takes on millionaire comedians baying for attention by pretending to be ‘cancelled’, considers how it isn’t actually possible to ‘say the unsayable’, and argues free speech can’t always be entirely free, with the help of some selected quotes from writer and author Tony Parsons. And there’s a song.
