Quoting Laura Lexx from Chortle: "Best gig as a punter One year at the Edinburgh Fringe the group of comedians called Invisible Dot organised buses out to a coastal venue where there was a gig with Stewart Lee and Josie Long and a load of other people and I laughed so hard at Stewart Lee. I think someone heckled him about hurrying up and he lay on the stage just listing flavours of crisps and it was so funny. Everything about travelling to that, the feeling of something special happening, and then an incredibly good line-up afterwards was magical."

Quoting from The List (abridged for space) "Stellar line-up like to be beside the seaside The Invisible Dot’s secret venue for tonight’s gig is revealed to be the Portobello Town Hall, which, when you think about it, makes a lot of sense – it’s the only venue in the seaside suburb big enough to hold the few hundred people boarding buses on George Street. The large auditorium, with its folding chairs in the middle and balconies up above, has a kind of old-time music hall ambience, which is enhanced by the haze from an unseen smoke machine and the brass quartet kicking off the show. As they play a few bars, the audience is happily surprised to learn the identity of the secret special guest compere who walks on stage: it’s Daniel Kitson. The bearded funnyman, enjoying a night off from his five star show at the Traverse, is on top form, bantering with hecklers and poking fun at the tradition of audience interaction with a brusque, ‘Right. You. Name.’ The stellar line-up don’t disappoint either: Kevin Eldon and Tim Key take different approaches to comedic poetry, and Josie Long contrasts her bubbly, let’s-all-have-a-hug shtick with some cutting political commentary. The highlight of the night is headliner Stewart Lee, whose decision to respond to a heckler with a solid minute of silence results in something akin to magic: laughter ebbs and flows around the hall like the tide as each member of the audience marvels at Lee’s boldness and unflappable composure. The rest of his set, while extremely good, pales in comparison, and he has the common sense to wrap it up soon after and leave us on a high. Everyone files onto buses for the return journey into town, the music hall vibe of community and shared laughter alive and well.

Stewart Lee lying on stage, viewed from above. He's holding his mic up with his right hand, and has his legs crossed casually, while relaxing with his left hand tucked behind his head.

Posted to Flickr by someone with the caption "Stewart Lee went a bit mental." This comes from the same show as the other shot, and sees Stew sat on the edge of the stage with his feet dangling in the air, while he speaks into the mic. To his left, we can see that the mic stand has been toppled over.
