In his show ‘90s Comedian’ Stewart Lee, affronted by the fact that Joe Pasquale had nicked one of his jokes, responded to those who attacked him for ‘Jerry Springer: The Musical’ with a long-winded and deliberately obscene anecdote-joke that Pasquale certainly couldn’t steal.
So it was odd to watch last night’s installment of ‘Live At The Apollo’ on Dave* and witness another comic no-mark Patrick Kielty parroting Lee’s joke about feeling nostalgic for the good old days of the IRA, “gentlemen terrorists” who always had the courtesy to ring up the authorities to give advance warning of bomb attacks…

Actually it was one of Michael Redmond's jokes that Stewart Lee accused Joe Pasquale of stealing.
