On your television set this month
|
Fun times ahead: I'm in the new series of "Stewart Lee's Alternative Comedy Experience" on Comedy Central. First show is tonight, Tuesday 15 July at 11pm.
I'm in four of the 13 episodes - not sure which ones yet, but with sets from Josie Long, Tony Law, Bridget Christie, Robin Ince, Helen Keen and more across the series, you'll probably want to watch it all on Sky 112 or Virgin 132 in the UK.
|
|
|
If you don't have one of those fancy non-terrestrial TVs, you can start downloading Series 2 from iTunes tomorrow.
|
 |
|
The following week, I'm making my three-minute BBC TV debut in Coast - one of my favourite BBC2 programmes. It's a piece about physics, filmed on the UK's tallest rollercoaster in sunny Blackpool last October. Be warned that it features some screaming (but surprisingly little vomiting).
|
|
Please do tweet or facebook about the shows if you tune in or catch up later. If you take a moment to let @ComedyCentralUK and @CoastTV know what you like, they'll make more shows that you enjoy. Well, that's the theory, anyway...

Work in Progress for Camden Fringe
|
A new hour of songs and words is on the way, with three tryouts 11-13 August, 9.30pm. Tickets still available, and other great shows are happening in Camden this August, like this, this, this and this.
|
|
 |
Or if you're free tomorrow night, there are just a few seats left for "How The Victorians Ruined The World" featuring me and my sister Kat, plus genuine experts in Victorian sex and toilets.

Storycollider and No Cause for ConCERN
|
For people without BBC channels, cable TV or a UK postcode, I have new things online including a story about what it was really like to ride that rollercoaster. Get a sneak preview here, before it goes onto the Storycollider website soon. If you're looking for new science-inspired audio treats, subscribe yourself up to their podcast, it's ace.
I also had a smashing - pun intended - time at CERN in Geneva last month. Here's a photo of me with my new silicon-based BFF, ATLAS.

 |
The whole lovely gig was filmed, and will be online here soon.
Oh, and I'm an internet meme now. Basically someone made a gif of Wil Wheeton winking saucily at the camera. I'm there too. On a TV screen. Don't believe me?
