Some Famous People called Stewart Lee
Stewart Lee
Stewart Graham Lee (born 5 April 1968) is a British stand-up comedian, writer and director. In the mid-1990s, he was one half of the radio duo Lee and Herring, alongside Richard Herring. His stand-up is characterised by repetition, callbacks, deadpan delivery and a pronounced use of deconstruction, which he often discusses on stage.
In December 2011, he won British Comedy Awards for best male television comic and best comedy entertainment programme for his series Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. A 2009 article in The Times referred to him as "the comedian's comedian, and for good reason" and named him "face of the decade". In June 2012, Lee was placed at number 9 in the Top 100 Most Influential People in UK Comedy. In 2018, The Times named him as the best current English-language comedian in the world.
He co-wrote and co-directed the West End hit musical Jerry Springer: The Opera, a critical success that sparked a backlash from Christian groups who staged a series of protests outside its early stagings. Lee has written music reviews for publications including The Sunday Times.
His influences include Ted Chippington, Jerry Sadowitz, Simon Munnery, Kevin McAleer and Johnny Vegas.

Stewart Charles Burnaby Lee (1885 – 2 February 1960) was an English cricketer. Lee's batting and bowling styles are unknown. He was born at Thame, Oxfordshire.
Lee made his debut for Oxfordshire against Cambridgeshire in the 1904 Minor Counties Championship. He made four further appearances in that season. Later while in the British Raj, where he was a tea planter, Lee made his first-class debut for a Bengal Governor's XI against the Maharaja of Cooch-Behar's XI at Eden Gardens, Calcutta, in November 1917. He made further first-class appearance for the team in a repeat of the fixture in December 1918. In his two first-class appearances for the team, he scored 60 runs at an average of 20.00, with a high score of 40 not out. In January 1919, he made a third and final first-class appearance, this time for MC Bird's XI against the Maharaja of Cooch-Behar's XI, scoring 9 runs.
Later returning to England, he resumed playing for Oxfordshire in 1922, following an eighteen-year gap since his last appearance for the county. This was also Oxfordshire's first season in the Minor Counties Championship since 1906. From 1922 to 1938, he made 81 further appearance for the county in the Minor Counties Championship, the last of which came against Berkshire at the Christ Church Ground, Oxford. His playing span of 34 years from 1904 to 1938 is the longest career span by an Oxfordshire cricketer, some four years ahead of Keith Arnold's thirty years, though Arnold's thirty-year span was unbroken. He had on occasion also captained the county.
He died at Brixworth, Northamptonshire, on 2 February 1960.
