After four years of writing and performing half hour episodes of stand up for his TV show, ‘Content Provider’ is Stewart Lee’s first new, long-form, full length show since the award-winning ‘Carpet Remnant World’.

The show is coming to Storyhouse, Chester’s brand new £37 million theatre, cinema and library complex on October 3, for one-night only.

Stewart Lee began stand-up in 1988 at the age of 20, and won the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 1990.

In 2001 he co-wrote the libretto for Richard Thomas’s Jerry Springer, The Opera, which went on to win four Olivier Awards.

His most recent live shows have been Carpet Remnant World (2011), Much A Stew About Nothing (2013) and Room With a Stew (2015). He made four series of Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle for the BBC, which won him Best Male TV Comic and Best Comedy Entertainment Performance at the British Comedy Awards in 2011 and a BAFTA in 2012.

Lee is also an occasional newspaper columnist and has recently published a collection of his short prose, also entitled Content Provider.
