Lee Mack

Comedian Lee Mack has been slammed by the charity STAMMA after he openly mocked speech impediments on hit BBC panel show Would I Lie To You.

“The thoughtless ridicule we saw on Would I Lie to You offers us a stark choice between being laughed at or being silent. Previous episodes are available on the iPlayer. Who make space and time for us in conversation and value our fabulous, stammered voices." Each week, Would I Lie To You sees guests reveal unusual facts and embarrassing personal tales which may or may not be true and the opposing team must decide if they are lying or not. “To all those adults and teens out there who stammer, and all those parents who have kids who stammer, know that there are many people who accept that stammering is simply the way some of us talk. In a press release responding to Mack’s performance, charity STAMMA said it was “disheartening to see Lee Mack and the Would I Lie to You crew mock stammering on Friday night's show.”
