When the car breaks down with the missus is brilliant, but Al his stuff is a laugh every 10 seconds. The guy is a national treasure even though he's hung up his microphone to be a husband and dad. Hopefully he'll come back one day.

The car breakdown is class and getting lost with his mrs is top aswell

[@redacted2458]

Another reason why he hung up his microphone is because his manager had sadly passed away

[@joegillam1497]

Part of the reason Lee has retired is because he put so much into the shows for so many years. Burnt out. What a legend.

[@ryanwhitworthhh]

His manager died too which I think was the main problem and he wanted to spend time with his family

He's a shy and humble guy, always extremely polite and attentive. A national treasure.

[@meronr74]

I worked in a venue where Lee did smaller gigs before taking it on tour to the stadiums. He is genuinely really lovely and humble. He is always surprised by the audience reaction and the fact people want to meet him. He always meets everyone and signs every autograph for fans. He's quieter off stage and just as funny. He would just be on stage before the show playing the piano and singing and chatting to the staff. An absolute pleasure to work with. Most of the comedians are. Some of the music artists? Not so much...

[@simes1969]

Totally agree... Lovely bloke. I met him briefly under similar circumstances. I was most surprised by how big he is close up. Into th 6 foots to my recollection. Big ol' dome up there. On stage he appears smaller as he moves with such speed. Wasn't he a boxer in his youth? Big family man. Yeah. National treasure.

[@twintasticboys3499]

I saw two of these smaller pre tour gigs in our local small theatre (previously a Church). The funniest evenings of my life and the last one I attended was my first evening out since surviving a stay in ICU (in a 2 month coma and on life support). It was like having an injection of pure energy and really helped my (long) recovery. I was in a wheelchair in the front row and being so near to him was fabulous. After the show he greeted and spoke to everyone - a true genuine kind and warm man. I would love for him to have a comeback as there are still sooo many people who would love the chance to see him live, but we all know how much he adores his wife and family and can understand and admire why he has "retired" 🙂 x

[@kizzylloyd152]

i went to the comedy club in Birmingham uk for his pre gig to test out new material for his upcoming "road runner" i was in the *splash zone* up front he is the most amazing comedian i have ever had the pleasure of meeting so so sad to know he has retired but respect him wholehearted for his commitment to the stage and family

[@shadow-Sun]

Lee Evans is a legend in the UK and his style is unique , we are blessed with so many fantastic comics in the UK all different all hilarious . Glad you enjoyed watching him a lot of his act is specific to a lot of British subtleties that many non natives would find hard to grasp , but you do a good job for an American ! .

[@iriscollins7583]

Unique? Sir Norman Wisdom. Using bad language..

[@shadow-Sun]

@@iriscollins7583 I don't agree at all I was a fan of Norman Wisdom as a kid , but his comedy style was slapstick and pathos and one dimensional tripping over buckets of wallpaper paste , falling down a lot , getting into pickles that were childish and just a vehicle for the slapstick . All in all Norman wisdoms comedy was pretty basic and unsophisticated , Lee Evans is a physical performer true and I guess there is a small comparison to be made there with Norman Wisdom but they are as different as chalk and cheese Lee Evans has an acute observational skills based comedy style, telling a narrative that we can all identify with in our daily lives ,with funny anecdotes and absurd situations we can all relate to.Way , way more sophisticated and difficult to pull off succesfully than Mr Wisdom being chased around by an angry boss because of a misshap with a mop bucket ! . and the bad language element is completely irrelevant.

[@nickbrett7173]

You really need to search for Lee Evans performing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” which he did when he was younger. A performance of perfection and is considered as one of the greatest skits. You won’t regret it

[@Dan-iq9td]

I was a roadie and local crew in London for 10 years. I set up and worked at his show at the O2 Arena (The Dome) in London many years ago. He isn't that crazy backstage but he was a genuinely nice bloke. This very rarely happens but he came backstage every day to chat and thank the crew. He even watched a football game with us backstage in between shows. They were also very generous with their catering to all the crew backstage, no matter what position. I remember this clearly because 90% of stars never come to chat or thank the workers that set up their show. The only others i can remember like him during my years were Kylie Minogue, The Script, Jay Z and a few others. Just to add, The O2 gig was filmed for his DVD. The doors that open center stage for him to walk through were not automated, They were opened in sync by a mate and I. You will likely see it wasn't perfect each time. lol

Met Lee Evans about 8 times over the years, as I work in a Theatre. Hilarious comedian and a great actor too! One of the nicest people you could ever meet, genuinely humble, friendly, genuine bloke. Quite a quiet and shy guy off the stage! Retired now sadly.

[@bydavidmitchell]

I had the good fortune of catching Lee Evans live, many moons ago, in Leicester. I laughed so hard I felt as though I'd done a workout the next morning. He truly was one of the best. I often wonder what his recent shows would have been like, had he not retired. With the pandemic and the way the world is now, I'm sure he'd have had excellent material to come up with the comedy genius you come to expect from him. A true legend, for whom I have endless respect. Great to see he's still being appreciated and discovered by new people. Great reaction. Love your channel guys, keep up the great work.

[@kylegacy]

I met Lee once outside of a theatre in Covent Garden as I was on my way to a bar. He wasn't performing as he'd retired at this point, but he was still chatting to people and signing stuff outside. I managed to get an autograph and have a quick chat with him before I moved on. Got to the bar, ordered a drink, was waiting for a pal, and who walks in and sits down beside me... Lee. Loved his company, really down to earth, very quick witted. It was surreal though because he wasn't flailing about and losing his body weight in sweat.

[@AlphaGamer1981]

he had quite a big role in the film "there's something about mary" with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. His best ever stand up show is Lee Evans Live In Wembley. If you are able to get the full set on youtube, it will probably kill you from laughter

I was lucky enough to see Lee in a small warm up venue (400 seats) years ago...I was in 3rd row it was like watching Lee in your living room..so close and hilarious...and he did a full 2 hr set. We met him outside stage door later and was so unbelievably humble and a bit shy...its like he felt he didnt deserve the adulation...Truly lovely and talented man.

[@pozipoz5840]

Lee is 1 of the most genuinely nice guys you could ever meet, I've been to see him a few times over the years, he is very family oriented, he adores his wife and daughter, they got together and became parents at a very young age, he's worked so hard to get to the top and deserves his retirement, he wanted to spend more time with his family, he's a genius on stage and a real gentleman off.

[@TommyHax]

A guy I worked with knows Lee Evans quite well, he said he's one of the nicest guys he's met.

First time I ever heard of or saw Lee Evans was when he supported Jack Dee in 1992 in a small venue. Didn't know what to expect but I experienced pain from laughing and sliding off my seat. An absolute torrent of comedy

I've seen Lee Evans Live and he is amazing. Not suprised you like him, he went on to American movies, notably "There's Someting about Mary" then just retired with the money. Loves his family more than fame. What a guy!

I met Lee Evans in a music shop in Southend on Sea in Essex UK many years ago. He was and probably still is a very nice fella. He played the piano really well and from what I saw takes music very seriously.

[@JimmerDJ]

The greatest stand up ever. There ain’t anyone like him. He has it all. My jaw and head hurts where I laugh at him so much. I have watched him since he started and he just got better and better over the years. So sad he retired but there will never be another like him. He’s so good at taking normal things in life and making it his own. And his other big ability was to take anything and put it into another situation and then make a joke out of it with his faces, sounds and movement. He isn’t just a comedian he’s a world class performer in every aspect. He is nuts and I loved that about him
