In the 90s, Lee wrote material for BBC Radio 4's On The Hour, which was anchored by Chris Morris and was notable for the first appearance of Steve Coogan's celebrated character, Alan Partridge, for which Lee and his partner Richard Herring wrote much early material.
In March of 2007, Lee was named 41st best stand-up of all time in a Channel 4 survey, beating Dave Allen, George Carlin, Steve Martin, Robin Williams and Tommy Cooper. In the light of this result he renamed his Summer 2007 stand-up show Stewart Lee - 41st Best Stand Up Ever!
Stewart is currently best-known for his involvement with Jerry Springer - The Opera, which he co-wrote and directed, much to the chagrin of Stephen Green of Christian Voice.

Government transitional safeguards to protect the jobs and promotion prospects of head teachers and teachers already in post in Voluntary Controlled faith schools breach natural justice and are discriminatory, says the National Secular Society.
