Stewart Lee & Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite (GM26 Preview)

Critically acclaimed stand-up comedian Stewart Lee sits down with your Thursday night headliner Mogwai ahead of Green Man Festival 2026. Longtime admirers of each other’s work, Stew and Stu discuss the various eras of Mogwai’s thirty-year back catalogue of epic instrumentalism, and how Stewart keeps his comedy surprising after so many years in the game. Settle in for a chat about science, merch prices, multi-generational fandom, Stewart’s current show “Stewart Lee vs The Man-Wulf”, Stuart Braithwaite’s book “Spaceships over Glasgow”, and of course, an excited look-ahead to a magical weekend in Bannau Brycheiniog.  Mogwai play Far Out on Thursday 20th August 2026; catch Stewart Lee on Friday night at Babbling Tongues.
