I initially signed up for Twitter just to do jokes I wasn't going to do in my stand-up routine.

I don't keep up with Twitter all day long.

Personally, I don't have a Twitter account. I like to be in control of the way the stand up of Stewart Lee is perceived, I don't want to have to engage with individual people. Also, when I do look at it, loads of factually inaccurate things about me are written.

Stand-up is a weird animal. There are people who really want to know what you think about things, your opinion on life. But then there are people who think you're just that beautician in 'Legally Blonde,' who doesn't have opinions on anything. Or that I'm Stifler's mom and hot for it all the time.

Twitter is awesome to share news with fans, but I would never choose to only have social media and put everything in my life on display.

Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.

Some people really like to get into Twitter, but it's not my thing.

The good thing about Twitter is that there's not so much of a wall between you and your fan base. They can interact with you, and it makes them more endeared to you when you interact with them.
