Lee Evans Can't Keep It Together During This Interview | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

[@chrisfricker7025]

This is a perfect example of someone with severe anxiety, who only connects when he's doing something that comes natural to him, Lee is the best comedian to come out of the UK,

[@anglewoden]

Lee is no doubt a brilliant comedian but the best ever? There has been many before him.

[@EF-zy3nr]

I had no idea he was even a comedian. After seeing There's Something About Mary on tv I wondered what happened to him, I remember seeing him in a bunch of movies as a kid. I really don't think his comedy career is that well known outside of Britain

[@anglewoden]

@@EF-zy3nr He is/was very well known inside the UK and I agree not so much outside the UK but then that doesn't make him any less of a stand up than people who are in fact we Brits are blessed to have known him. He was brilliant on stage, going by todays standards of comedian or comedienne there is very few that could hold there own when compared to him. His audience spanned both genders and all ages although he used to swear it was in context so it wasn't for effect like some do. He is/was much loved and missed. Shame he retired so early but he had reasons.

[@EF-zy3nr]

@@anglewoden im sure elsewhere in the English speaking world people would recognize him as a popular comedic actor who was in a bunch of movie in the late 90s to early 00s and then disappeared

[@anglewoden]

@@EF-zy3nr I'm sure there are, especially ex-pats.

[@kurluk04]

You can see how uncomfortable he is until he starts changing his voice and telling jokes he seems more comfortable - such a humble guy 😂

[@TheGallifreyanKnight]

One of the most loveable people in comedy.

[@johnbacon1854]

I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to Lee shortly before he made it really big in film. he lived about a mile from where I was, and one lunchtime we literally bumped into each other on Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff. I stopped to say sorry, as you do, and he turned around and looked back, and I of course was like, OMG its Lee Evans. He started to mimic me as if to say he was shocked to see me and went into his act on the street. I was in stitches. After we chatted for 5 minutes about his recent TV comedy show, and all the time locals came past and said hello, he knew them all. Most by name. He was so grounded, and I have never forgotten that few minutes in his presence. What Lee didnt say here, was a big part of not continuing his film roles, was his wife, who he loves endlessly, wanted to come back home. So he did. I am so happy after 21 years they are still together.

[@ruralrob228]

gutted I never got got round to seeing him live.Keep hoping he'll come out of retirement

[@GuvnarP]

Great performer and genuinely top bloke , rare breed 👍

[@rangerwhite5165]

I was in a film with him . Freeze Frame. Filmed in Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast. I was an extra who got to kick him down a flight of stairs. He was an absolute gent. It was a bit scary when I was introduced to him. he had his head shaved and no eyebrows. Made me feel really at ease, as if I got the kick wrong, I could have broken his nose! I was hunched under a camera, trying to do a kick within a few inches of his nose. Did the scene with him and the stunt man. Great day and it was lovely to meet and work with him. Really great guy.

[@joelawler8114]
