Went to see Stewart Lee last night. After the initial confusion of seeing a famous person in the flesh and thinking, "What's he doing out of that tiny box in my room? How did he escape? Will more follow?" everything went fine. There was a scary moment when I thought he was going to pull some sort of Andy Kaufman stunt to piss everybody off in a comical manner when he repeated the same phrase over and over for a good ten minutes. Obviously, not being really, really weird, he stopped after a bit. Great show. Hopefully they'll release it on DVD so I can watch it again with the comforting barrier of a tiny box in my room.
"Tom O' Connor came out on stage and asked the man in the audience what he did for a living. He said, 'I'm in oil.' And Tom O' Connor said, 'Are you a sardine?' Oh, Stew, it was amazing. It was amazing. He came out and said, 'What do you do for a living?' And the man said, 'I'm in oil.' 'Are you a sardine?' It was amazing, Stew. He came out on stage..."

He was quick, Stew. He might've overheard him on the cruise saying it, but even then it was a gamble. He could've asked him what he did for a living and he could've answered "Oh, i work for Shell" so even knowing he worked for them, there was a risk it wouldn't work. Oh he was amazing, Stew - much better than you
