The show marks the triumphant television return of one of the finest stand-ups working in Britain today, enthralling a live audience with his uniquely cynical and hilariously condescending take on the world around him. Each episode sees Stewart exploring a different theme in a stand-up routine, often illustrated with sketches featuring an ensemble cast. They are performed in a way that deconstructs comedy itself; literally a vehicle for Lee's idiosyncratic style. Starring alongside Stewart are: Tony Law, Tara Flynn, Paul Putner, Kevin Eldon, Miles Jupp, Simon Munnery, Job Angus and Michael Redmond. Peter Serafinowicz provides voiceovers.

25 episodes

Armando Iannucci interviews Stewart about the content of his show, in what was presumably a pastiche of a Mark Lawson interview on a late night BBC arts programme. It was filmed in dimly-lit black and white, for added pretentiousness.
Broadcast as a Red Button Extra.

The second interview by Armando Iannucci in a series of six 'Red Button' extras. These accompany each new episode of Comedy Vehicle.

Here's the third of Stewart Lee's interviews with Armando Iannucci made especially for that slender proportion of the viewing public who both enjoy almost annoyingly clever self-satirising comedy, and who own special boxes that enable them to watch extra footage of Dick and Dom at the touch of a red button.

Here's the fourth of Stewart Lee's conversations with Armando Iannucci accompanying his current BBC TV series.

Stewart Lee talks to Armando Iannucci about his programme on the comedy.
