Advantages: Lee Evans, The Comedy, Energetic, Side Splitting Jokes Disadvantages: The Sketch and the Songs are weakish
Lee Evans is one of the only English comedians that gets me in stitches, I really love watching repeats of his tours on Paramount Comedy and spend hours laughing my ass off. He's such a funny comedian, so when I heard about his Big tour, I asked for the DVD for Christmas. We matched to get it 'cheap' at Woolworths (20% off) not 80% like it would have been a few days later, however now it's almost halved in price which is very annoying. Here is the ... ...in 1964, Lee Evans is most famous for being a stand up comedian, but in his life time he's also a musician and actor as well. His stand up tours are most famous for being loud, sweaty and of course very humorous. He is compared a lot to Norman Wisdom, due to his look and the fact he has a very energetic style of stand up. Lee Evans is most famous for his sweatiness, he is usually after about 5/10 minutes drenched, and often has to change suits in ...

Lee Evans is a comedy genius in my eyes. I remember vaguely hearing the name ‘Lee Evans’ , although I was never sure who he was or what he looked like. However , my sister had bought a copy of the DVD of his ‘XL’ tour , and that is when I was introduced to the man that is Lee Evans , and have since become quite a big fan of his.

Advantages: more laughs a minute than any other comedian Disadvantages: a bit long for some people
Lee Evans is a stand up comedian that first gained notice in the early 90's as a result of his energetic performances & funny voices. He is known for having a Norman Wisdom style of comedy & is one of the leading stand up comics in the UK.
He isn't just a stand up comedian though. He's also famous for being a musician, one of his trademarks is that at the end up every stand-up show he plays the piano while singing a song that he has written. He ... ...to Christmas.

Lee Evans has done it again...he is still at the top of his game and this is where you get to see him working in an amazing environment where he has great interaction with the audience and makes you feel welcome and like he is speaking to you on your level rather than speaking down to you.

Advantages: Great Laugh Disadvantages: Amount of Swearing...
...that you will enjoy this. Lee evans covers a large variety of contemporary issues including police isues and normal day to day issues in which a lot of people can relate to. This is certainly a best-buy! I bought this just after i failed one of my many driving tests and this cheered me up a treat! If you're a fan of comedians and comedy sketches then you should love this. However, you may need to allow of lot of time to watch this however, it never ... ...I feel that Evans works hard in order to create and very rememberable performance. Which highlights a lot of issues which occur in everyday life that myself and many others can relate to. Many different groups are targetted in the process of the comedian sketch such as police jokes, many driver jokes and also a few supermarket jokes. Overall i feel that this purchase was extremely worthwhile and gives me many laughs during the day even if i am not ...

I am a huge Lee Evans fan, so I was lucky enough to get tickets to see him at the O2 arena in London. I was not disappointed I laughed from start to finish and what a way to remember it by, I preorder the DVD too. This DVD is the highlights of the record breaking Lee Evans, Big UK Tour 2008. Lee Evans returns to the stage with his great stand up comedy, he is a legend, with new material this is a show not to be missed and will have you in tears of ... ...from difficult subjects the way Lee Evans does stand up is great it appeals to audiences of every age, I appreciate that he is not to everyone's cup of tea though.
The DVD lasts just over two hours and had me laughing from start to finish as I picture myself being there again watching it.
One of the things I find about really great comedy experiences is that you can never remember many of the jokes afterwards so I cannot wait to see the whole thing ...

Advantages: New hilarious material, You will not stop laughing, a great show Disadvantages: Not the same experience as being there live watching him
...The thing I love about Lee Evans is that his material and his shows are completley different each time around which makes him one of (if not) the best comedian in the world. He performs for over 2 hours and 30 minutes and if you go to see it live it's 3 hours he is on stage for. This DVD will have you in stitches from the moment he steps out on stage till the moment he goes off and the best thing is he also plays two brilliantly writ songs at the ... ...and I still watch this DVD over and over because it's just that funny. I am looking forward to his next live tour and his next DVD. If I were you I would be straight out to buy this DVD because it will bring hours of entertainment. Well Done Lee ...

Advantages: Extremely funny material. Lee Evans at his best. Disadvantages: First half is slightly disappointing.
...saw this particular tour when Lee Evans came to perform live at the Birmingham NIA. It was an absolutely brilliant act and he is a comedian that you can watch over and over again.
His material is very unique and will have you hysterically laughing on odd occasions.
The first half of this DVD is not particularly great. Some bits are very funny but you can find yourself waiting for something really funny to happen and it wont for a good ten minutes. ...

As usual Lee Evans is absolutely on top form. This dvd is packed with hilarious lines that will have you laughing until you cry. You also lose the ability to breathe at times as your laughing so hard.
Lee Evans has this amazing abillity to talk about normal daily events and turn them into something that you cant help laughing at and also sometimes if you think about it you can remember a time when you have done or seen someone else doing just what ... ...evening of laughter and keep you totally entertained.
I cannot begin to explain how totally funny this guy is to someone who has not seen Lee Evans before. I deinately would say that he is well worth watching for a good pickup.
I certainly do recommend his dvds for entertainment. ...

Advantages: Stitch splitting funny Disadvantages: can't laugh no more bcuz it hurts
Funny man Lee Evans released this DVD for his latest live tour called Big. This was recorded at the O2 arena in October 2008. Lee Evans seems to have been around for many years to me and is not just known for his stand up shows but he has also appeared in some hit movies such as Mousehunt and The Martins. I have also enjoyed watching Lee Evans I find him very funny. It is not just his jokes it is the way he tells them with all the expressions and ... ...comedians out there. Lee Evans Live at the 02 is very funny it starts with Lee in his changing room and the room keeps filling up with water from the sweat coming off Lee Evans, because if you are fan of Lee Evans and have seen him before you will know how much this guy actually sweats. Then the show starts and it the usual slapstick comedy that you usually associate with the great Norman Wisdom and the similarities are there for all to see. Anyone ...

Advantages: hilariously funny, great jokes, cheap DVD Disadvantages: nada
I have always loved Lee Evans; he is, in my opinion, by far the best comedian around and doesn't even come close to being compared with anyone else. I didn't think that he could get much funnier than in his XL Tour, but he surpassed my expectations by a mile with his new Big Tour. His second act was the funniest for me and I don't think I stopped laughing for more than a couple of seconds throughout it. Parts even gave me the stitches and had me ... ...added due to the popularity. Lee Evans is a top class act and anyone for who fancies a laugh this should be your first stop. Even though I saw it live I am definitely going to buy the DVD for it - even now I'm remembering some of his act and I'm sitting here laughing as I'm writing this review! ...

Lee evans is a multi talented comedian who is brilliant i personally thoroughly enjoyed watching this and would definately recommend it.
It is fun for all the family and you will alll laugh yourselves silly this is a fantastic dvd,.
Evans is the best comedian i have seen since Peter Kay in my opinion i would say Lee evans is better.
Evans is the Oasis of stand-up. Huge but rarely groundbreaking. Thus we get well-thumbed topics - sport,road rage, ... ...had a niggling feeling that Big would maybe be a step too far, that maybe it was all starting to get a bit much. I shouldn't have worried. Big is excellent, and I must've missed half the gig from laughing so much and blinking back tears. My only criticism - and I wish someone would have the guts to tell him this - can we stop the singing at the end of each show, its a pointless waste of everyone's time. If you want to watch music - buy music, if ...
