Stewart Lee was over the top, spending most of his time on stage talking about vomit.

The co-writer of the controversial show, Jerry Springer The Opera, even talked about vomiting into the arse of Jesus Christ.

Lee is supposed to be a ground-breaking comedian and writer, but I found little entertainment value in his material.

It was not funny. It was a sad and deliberate attempt to see how far he could go.

This was ultimate sick humour, and if anyone thought it funny, they must be sick as well.

He joked about the IRA, whom he described as "gentlemen bombers" and the recent London bombings.

Some members of the audience found it too much and walked out, including Brighton actress Carol Cleveland of Monty Python fame.

She quipped: "I am running out to find a doctor. This guy is sick and needs help."
