Stewart Lee: 41st Best Stand-Up Ever! (2008)

Plot

Stewart Lee's journey takes a humorous turn as he grapples with being named the 41st best stand-up comedian in a Channel 4 poll in 2007, a ranking that humorously places him above Lenny Bruce yet below Jim Davidson. Despite this recognition, Lee faces the harsh realities of his career—his pilot has been axed, and even his mother prefers the comedic stylings of 1970s game show host Tom O'Connor over his own. The film explores the absurdity of accolades and the subjective nature of comedy, all infused with Lee's signature wit.
