Come back Lee, British people need cheering up again after coronavirus lockdown, you and peter kay are badly missed in my opinion, two very funny men.🙂🏴
Nah. He's earned his retirement! Too many comedians miss out on life at home because of life on the road. He loves his family and wants to spend time with them
You can see he appreciates every element of his craft...he doesn't just do laughs he understands how things look to the audience as he's delivering it.Looks like a guy down the wetherspoons but he's an absolute master...thats why he sold out arenas in a time when most other comediens in the UK couldn't sell out a front room.I think his social awkwardness,genuine nervous energy and his ability to get through all that in such spectacular fashion is the gold dust that makes people love him.
Love Lee's comedy. He's a fascinating guy. Sooo funny. Not afraid to show his vulnerability. Must go and see him live some time ((if he's came out of retirement). Have watched most of his videos. Hugely underated comedic talent.
I did wonder I don’t bloody know I thought this was on tv hence why it was uploaded so yes my statement makes no sense if it’s years old. I don’t watch tv so I have no idea because I haven’t checked or knew that it’s on tv at the moment so ok lol. Plus I did find out he’s doing a tour so that’s partly why I assumed lol. I’m normally quite thorough lol 😂
Genius, sad I never got to see him live but have all he's stand up on DVD. I have recently been watching them with my 11-year-old son and he also loves him and that makes me love lee even more. Seeing my son laughing and smiling his head off because of the genius mind of Lee Evans fills me with happiness. I wish one day I will have the luck and privilege of meeting him 🤞✌️❤️
The humour was always on my level but imagine if you could harness that energy ?!? Solar and Hydroelectric have got nothing ! But more than anything, he loves his family and that’s beautiful. We love you Lee and thank you for making us laugh 🥰
OMG. Loved him during my student days. Bought his VHS video tapes before the VCD even on Sale. He still look young while i aged terribly. Love you Lee.
It's called living your life purpose tbh. /dhama (which is not just the what, but also how). A whole other kind of energy flows through. I literally can do what I gotta do, without sleep really, I have the most energy ever, feeling amazing, it's just a matter of knowing how to stop, breathe, realign, carry on. It's the best ever. Then after three days I have a good 8-10 hours sleep, am fine, right back on it. Otherwise I may sleep like 4-5 hours a day if I want, and still - all the energy in the world. Feeling ecstatic. In clarity, aligned. People tend to live in a perceived reality of limitation and obligation, suppressing themselves with whatever, because they're not living their actual calling, and in the way that is their true with, so they're shut off from that communion with the universe and their actual true self, that infinite high frequency energy flow and alignment. Which then results in low energy and manifested illness etc. It's a matter purposeful orientation in ways which correlate with desired experiences and outcomes, ways of being.. It's not a living in a standard way, comprehending in a standard way, type thing. It comes from within. It's magical af :3
I know comedy has changed and is a shell of itself and that lee has earned his retirement 1000 fold but it a English genuine need his help to just feel alil less shit though pure joy and laughter. He’s the GOAT
I can absolutely relate to his nervousness around people. I found out he has the same birthday which is 25th February and being a Pisces, we are basically very shy and have low self esteem. It's his way of seeking approval from people.
I met Lee when i worked at Heathrow lovely guy! Had a nice chat with him. He ALWAYS reminds me as a young Norman Wisdom! SO SAD Lee retired he was the BEST out there! The so called 'stand ups' these days are rubbish!
Not a lot of people know this, but Lee Evans and Bruce Lee were brothers. Lee Evans went onto become a boxer early on, and Bruce Lee competed at karate. A little known fact! Bruce Lee's surname was actually Evans. (he dropped the Evans when he became famous). Bruce Lee Evan's dad, (Bob Lee Evans) was actually a coal miner in China. The only Welsh born coal miner in the whole country. As such he became a massive celebrity. So famous that he had to fight his way through the crowds of fans at the end of each shift, leaving the mine tunnel. They made him sing a Max Boyce songs, and threw daffodils at him. (I know this because I WAS THERE!) And this lead to him opening his own flower shop, importing DAFFODILS from Wales. He called it 'Dafodills R Us'. He ran the shop during the day, and went down the mines at night. What a work ethic he had. As hard as coal, so he was. Soooooo, when young Bruce was about 5 yrs old, he took him on as his body guard. (The fame thing was getting out of hand with crowds increasing in size daily) And that's where his martial arts career started. Young Bruce did that for about 10 yrs. And as a kid would quite often find himself fighting off 20 or 30 adults at the same time, (sound familiar? Yep that's where his movie scenes ideas came from). He did this so's his dad could rush by and get home for his 10 minute nap before opening the shop each morning. Bob gave himself a lie in on a Sunday when he slept for half an hour. In the end, many years later, tragedy struck the family, when young Bruce overslept one morning for his protection duties. Poor Bob, leaving the mine after his usual night shift, suddenly realised he was on his own. His 14 Yr old son was no where to be seen. Without his sons protection, Bob tried to make a dash for Rick Shaw (his drivers name) but the crowd got him. Lifted him high up on their shoulders (about 4 ft) and carried him away. And they didn't stop. He was such a huge star, they carried him all around the whole country, cheering as they went. (And you know how big China is? Massive) In their enthusiasm and rabid passion no one thought to stop. At all. So he was passed on from one crowd group to another as they entered each provence. Bob actually invented crowd surfing. Because he tried to escape that way several times. But became exhausted. And gave up. (the crowds were quite often 6 miles deep). He eventually passed away from starvation around 1961. Legend has it his skeletal remains are still being carried around China to this very day. Boneman Bob he's known as. The longest tour in history Of course Bruce was devistated. And lived with that guilt til the day he died. He left home with his pet cat, Rover, and walked to Hong Kong where he became a star. The really sad thing about this story, is that Lee Evans never knew the truth. That he was given up for adoption at birth. And that his real dad was actually a dead mining superstar being carried around China, and that Bruce Lee was his in fact his brother. He never knew. Heart braking. No winners. Only losers. Even with all that money and fame. I heard that Lee Evans found out the truth in 2014, and it crushed him. He immediately retired from comedy. Sad but all true folks.
I love Lee Evans he's the most funniest comedian ever he's a legend wish he could come back for one night only or do a TV show Lee you are my favourite I loved all ur shows I'll definitely go buy your book
@Sam Armstrong Not really. His physical mannerisms are definitely akin to him but Lee's comedy is his own and follows a different track. I suppose at a glance he seems very similar, ironically in the actual facial expressions. But the base of it being physical comedy and that they both are iconic in a somewhat niche field in terms of success, adds to this mis-conception.
@Sam Armstrong There is a difference between influence and copying and I would suggest you look up some old videos of the great Norman Wisdom in his stand up. But your counter argument says all. All the best.
Norman Wisdom (when i was kid ) but so much funnier 😁The story of ''it's not my wife '' 🤣🤣''Without my wife i'm not me '' ❤️What a thing to say 😢Bless him
Derek Trotter Haha couldn’t stand them bunch of prat’s. Only fools an horses was totally brilliant. Remember Batman an Robin one. Now that was funny. You know what I think it is? I remember when Ross started out an he was forever taking digs at Terry Wogan an here he is Terry Woganised sad init
How in god’s name does he have SO much energy? It’s almost as if you have a hyperactive teenager (voice helps too, sounds like it changed in puberty and got stuck there) inside an adult man’s body.
Is it only me that see's the subliminal message that Lee is sending us by budgie jumping onto the stage?? I really hope that his head space in a better place now he has given himself some well needed rest
He's a natural born entertainer. Yet so down to earth, humble and relatable. Love his authenticity ❤️
Saw him live , nearly sick laughing, so sad he’s retired
Too much of a good thing becomes boring. I think he retired at the right time. The guy had us laughing for over a decade I think he's earned it.

No matter how many times I watch him I still laugh at him and that is true comedy 🎭
There is a lot of Norman Wisdom in Lee's comedy style.
I was just going to say that.
What the pizza guy?
I thought the same When He Checked His POCKETS,,then Seen This COMMENT 😬
Certainly , a modern day Norman Wisdom ! I am sure NW was one of his inspirations !

Absolute national treasure
I miss Lee. Imagine his writing on the last couple of years!! Lol
Only a comedian like Lee can be hilarious just in the moment
i saw him live in Plymouth twice he is the best comic and entrainer very down to earth too met after the show
Really sad he's not still 'working'. Can't fault him though.
I was at his last tour when he announced his retirement in Oct 2014
It's good he's enjoying his retirement and his family. He's missed though
Think he's back to a degree now
He's a great guy. Guaranteed to make me laugh every time. Come back Lee!!!
I know comedy has changed and is a shell of itself and that lee has earned his retirement 1000 fold but it a English genuine need his help to just feel alil less shit though pure joy and laughter. He’s the GOAT
Lee: "I always came *2nd* in boxing and *3rd* if there was a *ref!"* 3:27 😅😂
Love how physical Lee Evans humour is. He doesn’t have to say anything x
The only comedian i piss myself laughing at when hes not even speaking. Just his constant fidgeting is hilarious 🤣
Ohhh dang it.. I miss lee so much..
Why does Lee, pretending to be his dad, pretending to be a carpet, make me laugh SO much?! 😆

He still looks like he's in his 30s
This was from 2011, look at recent videos/photos and age is definitely catching up with him
1930s
He looks awesome for 46... When he said he’d been married for 28 years from the age of 18 my jaw dropped. I thought he was about 32/33 here.
