History
Comedy fan Chris Evans wanted to purchase a DVD of Steward Lee's latest show. However, he found out there was not one as the comic's previous release had sold insufficient copies. The comedy website Chortle claim that the show's controversial content dissuaded major distribution companies because of fear of retribution from the fundamentalist Christian Right.[3] However, Evans felt that the critically acclaimed show (Time Out enthused 'should win the Booker prize') should be recorded for posterity.[3]
