Maybe because his contribution to the music world is somewhat limited. Ambient Sheep. His lyrics are woeful, in the grand theme of things. I admire the fact he tries to be an energetic performer but even that's skin-deep. Also he is the spitting image of an old boss of mine who did the dirty on the woman he just married, then he ran away down south without telling anyone, her wondering wtf was happening until the divorce email chain was begun by him.

Can't have helped McIntyre. I mean, why would the transport editor of the Telegraph be asking me about a line from a routine I did in ? The next day in an article in the Telegraph, the transport editor David Millward, whose last three pieces have been about a flying car, mileage clocks, and bio-fuels, tried his driving-gloved hand at writing about stand-up. He explained how Michael McIntyre was unhappy about comedians making fun of him. I had declined to comment, apparently.

It seems the transport editor of the Daily Telegraph really does have my mobile number after all. He probably has my PIN number too then and will delete important messages in the event of my murder. In the current climate, I now have to change my phone number. What had happened, it transpires, was this. The show opens with me attempting to give audiences what the struggling stand-up Stewart Lee imagines they want, namely a McIntyre-style routine about high street coffee shops.

I cast the audience in the role of baffled onlookers as I try to complete this normal routine, while being continually distracted, over a minute period, by invective and Nineties style pirate whimsy. This is a letter from a pirate. I was in character.

Context, Kirsty Young, you are better than this. The case is overstated, for comic effect. But the way the diarrhoea line was presented to him, shorn of set and setting, does make it read rather differently. Doubtless someone with a search engine will turn up something horrible, but when I am asked about McIntyre in interviews, as all us comedians are now, I have learned to complement him on having converted a nation to the idea of stand-up as a viable entertainment option, and usually find a way to leaven any negative comments with positive ones, though these are often edited out , even to the extent of expressing the genuine desire to be allowed to tour all his most famous routines myself, word for word, to see if their very familiarity would lend them to a tonal reinterpretation.

Thinking about it further. I really like him. I like him too. What can you do? Both him and Piers Morgan were on the telly last night…..
