Stewart Lee's returns to UK stages (including Swindon's Wyvern) for his sell-out tour 'Snowflake/Tornado.'
After the abrupt end of the covid-cancelled Snowflake/Tornado in March 2020, Stewart Lee returns to more than 60 towns and cities in the UK.
The tour, a double bill of two 60-minute sets, back-to-back nightly, will include new material for 2022.
Lee will appear at the Wyvern Theatre on Tuesday, 19 April. The show will start at 8pm and is for those aged 14 and over.
A spokesperson for the comedian explains: "The first half, Snowflake, will be heavily rewritten in the light of the two years the show has been laid off, looking at how the Covid-Brexit era has impacted on the culture war declared on lovely woke snowflakes by horrible people.
"The second half, Tornado, questions Stew’s position in the comedy marketplace after Netflix mistakenly listed his show as “reports of sharks falling from the skies are on the rise again. Nobody on the Eastern Seaboard is safe.”
