My Take
Lee Mack is, to my mind, one of the sharpest improvisers working in British comedy. Coming from Southport with a Brunel degree and a grind through the stand-up circuit, he built a career on raw quickness of thought rather than on a manufactured persona. Writing and starring in Not Going Out while anchoring Would I Lie to You? takes a kind of mental agility that is genuinely rare. I admire that his humour stays generous and unpretentious even at full speed. He deserves a far wider audience beyond the UK, and I suspect anyone who discovers him becomes a quiet evangelist.
