Stewart Lee: How I escaped my certain fate (2010, Faber and Faber)
378 pages

Worth it if only for the transcripts of the shows, but the incessant footnotes are almost like having the transcript of a DVD commentary along with it.
After reading this book, I love Stewart Lee even more. Both the character Stewart Lee and the real Stewart Lee (as seen from the audience). The book explains a lot of things that are puzzling (although intriguing and funny) in his comedy, and gives them meaning. Can't wait to watch more of his shows and then read more of his commentary.
