3 w. ago ‘My past was chaos’: Iain Lee on abuse, cocaine, comedy, his on

The broadcaster and comedian has been delighting and outraging audiences for almost 30 years. Off-air, his life has lurched from crisis to crisis. Has he finally found peace?It’s nearly three decades since Iain Lee roamed the streets for Channel 4’s 11 O’Clock Show, armed with clipboard and microphone, a string of filthy questions tucked up his oversized suit sleeve. He’s 52 now, and presumably he’s matured since he memorably interviewed the singer Cleo Laine about her husband’s masturbatory habits. But maybe not, because this summer Lee hit the streets again, where among other things, he mimed giving a blowjob to a 76-year-old who said he’d never been attracted to a man.

The show is billed as a commemoration of three decades in showbusines...
