Aberdeen Comedy Festival: Stewart Lee vs The Man-Wulf

In this brand new show, Lee shares his stage with a tough-talking werewolf comedian from the dark forests of the subconscious who hates humanity. The Man-Wulf lays down a ferocious comedy challenge to the culturally irrelevant and physically enfeebled Lee. Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee’s unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up?

Stewart Lee (“The world’s greatest living stand-up comedian” The Times), is in danger of being left behind. He’s approaching sixty with debilitating health conditions, his TV profile has diminished, and his once BAFTA award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete. But can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends like Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side-splitting stadium-stuffing shit-posting?

The Aberdeen Comedy Festival is here for 2025, bringing the finest comedians to the Granite City for two weeks that will hit you right in the funny bone. From leading names to rising stars, household favourites to local heroes, from stand-up to improv, we’ll show you that laughter really is the best medicine…no prescription needed!

With events taking place in venues across the city over a full fortnight, the North-east will be full of laughter. Aberdeen is sure to become a comedy capital in the UK, with the festival set to be firmly established as a key part of the region’s cultural calendar.
