The themes he picked today were the Tories and UKIP , with half an hour on each.Seeing as he is just starting out in developing the material it seems to be already well honed and should be a smash hit when it comes out early next year.
The person i was with really appreciated the challenge for the audience to think through the topics deeply before coming to universally grounded conclusions.A genuine mixture of satire and critique delivered in a casual , yet deeply penetrating way.
In a recent Oxford lecture he attracted a lot of attention to the process of comedy in which "Stewart discusses the fantasy that stand-up comedy is spontaneous rather than written, and describes the evolution of stand-up over the last few decades. His talk takes in a wide range of subjects from the first app he ever came across to a discussion of the value of culture in society."
