One of my mates back from school had Lee Evens DVDs at home. Me a bunch of us always went round his after school on Fridays. Soon as we always arrived, his mum would always make us food and we would stick on Lee Evens while we were eating. Wouldn't miss another minute of it. Brilliant comedian and many happy memories.
Not only one of the greatest Stand Up comedians ever to grace this planet, he comes across as a real genuine gentleman. Legendary and ive seen him live 3 times, my favourite for sure.
As a firm, we had to collect a car from the home of this National Treasure….. unaware of who the householder was, our guy turned up and Lee came to the gate……. Cup of tea, meet the missus……. Extraordinary human being…….. A credit to our Nation and our species 🎉🥳🇬🇧
Hi Lee. My mate got tickets for Birmingham town hall way back in the early days. I'd never heard of you and didn't know what to expect. Nearly 30 years later I'm still a massive fan as is my 18 yr old daughter, I often hear your voice squeaking out of her phone. My favourite gig was a pre tour at the glee club in Birmingham, very intimate and a test of new material.... notes in hand. Please do another tour so my daughter can get to appreciate your live energy. There's a new generation that needs to know you.
Lee has achieved what many of us would love to do..... he has had fame, gained a considerable fortune during the process, he's got out of the game whilst he has youth and good health and is bringing up his family. Good luck to him.
My wife got to meet Lee once or twice. She had no udea that he was going to be world famous! But thats because he, like ny wife, was working for Rosebys (a curtain and bedding shop) where she worked as a store assistant and later as the manager, anf Lee Evans was in charge of doing displays visiting the various shops owned by the company (hers was in Romford i believe ) and she had seen him a good few times during her years there. She said she didnt know if he was doing stand up at the time, but it was only about a year after he last did a display at her shop, that she had seen him popping up on posters for comedy club's, the odd tv show etc and tbe rest for him is history! She said he was a nice, funny likeable guy, seemed a bit shy, and yes he sweated quite a bit in the course of nis job. She has good memories of him.i do to from watching his comedy shows, movies and other acting roles etc. I know he wont see this, but cheers to mr lee evans. Thanks for the belly laughs that made me almost piss my pants and have a stroke! Not just once, but on many, many occasions.
I work in hospitality and have had the pleasure of meeting Lee quite a few times. What a lovely man, no airs of graces, just a lovely approachable man.
You know what, IF anyone ever made a movie on the life of Sir Norman Wisdom, I could just see Lee playing him, as he not only has the slapstick ability, but don't harf look like him too!! 😉
One of the best and funniest comedians there has ever been. Fantastic material. The physical performances Lee does is so precise.....Amazing! Great to see him back to 👍. We all need some laughter in our lives at these past few years in this world. 👌❤️
I bumped into him on the southbank, at the height of his fame. He was chatting to a man who was fishing then when he left he said " sorry, I'm Lee, lovely to meet you" totally down to earth
Lee Evans has got to be one of the funniest men to walk the planet! Over the years of watching him on stage, I have literally cried with laughter, tears dripping off my face! Thank you Lee, God bless you!!
Was in a film with him called Freeze Frame. I played a member of the SWAT team and got to kick him down the stairs.😁 When I was brought in to meet him and discuss the scene, it was a bit of a shock, as he'd no hair or eyebrows! He was an absolute gent and was great to work with. Thankfully, I didn't break his nose doing the take. It was agony, having to crouch under a camera rig and hold my leg out, while they co ordinated the stuntman and camera angles.
I did the spot light for Lee Evans at the Royalty Theatre Great Yarmouth in the 90's. He was hilarious. I was laughing so much, he moved and I could not keep up. Next thing you hear, "Oi you up there wake up!"
Watched Lee at the Brum Glee club doing the test out gig some 15 years ago, it was brilliant especially his rapport with getting feedback from the crowd.
I remembered decades ago I saw Lee in a DVD or something okay I thought another comedian. My hero is Billy Connolly. Then a few years later, Lee shows up again in fifth element. And I instantly fell in love with his sense of humour been supporting him ever since so this is great to see behind-the-scenes.
Absolutely luv Lee Evans! His comedy has made me laugh for years at a lot of my own situations. Thankfully I have DVD's to watch now that he is enjoying a well earned retirement.
Is he also officially retired from acting? Cuz frankly I find his stand up to be... average, but his comedic acting is unbelievable in Funny Bones etc -- and he was great In the decidedly serious Freeze Frame too!!
@@KenLieckhe was in Mouse Hunt wasn’t he? I think that’s what it was called…….I absolutely loved that movie, even if I can’t remember it’s name. Gonna have to check out the two you mentioned
@@KenLieck cheers, can’t believe I’ve never heard of that before. Just googled it and it’s got good reviews too. My dads gonna be thrilled lol, Rik Mayall and Evans are his two comedy heroes
His autobiography is heartbreaking. He really struggled early on. What a sweet lovely caring (cute and sexy) guy. He really earned his success. So happy for him x
I've never liked Lee Evans live when he does his manic style of comedy. I've always much preferred him when he does interviews such as this where you get the "real" Lee Evans. I just personally think he's much funnier doing this sort of stuff. So yeah...this vid gets a Like from me.
One of the funniest men to tread the boards in my lifetime but how much better he would have been without the constant swearing. I'm no prude but I used to feel embarrassed for him at times.
I bet he returns one day for a come back tour. Peter Kay did and why not Lee Evans. Look how much material he would have form retirement. I bet his next show is a month long.
What I want to know is with all the body and head smacking....how long did a mic last on a tour? I know those SM58's are robust but Lee must have thoroughly tested them to the limit...........
Your welcome to your opinion but in my opinion coming to a Lee Evans channel to press a Lee Evans video to watch a Lee Evans interview to comment your dislike to him is a waste of time and a comment box. To us fans he is hilarious and we don’t care what you think
One of my mates back from school had Lee Evens DVDs at home. Me a bunch of us always went round his after school on Fridays. Soon as we always arrived, his mum would always make us food and we would stick on Lee Evens while we were eating. Wouldn't miss another minute of it. Brilliant comedian and many happy memories.
How do you eat while watching Lee Evans? There must have been crumbs and bits of food everywhere!
He is the worst person to watch with broken ribs I’ve never laughed in so much pain in all my life
Not only one of the greatest Stand Up comedians ever to grace this planet, he comes across as a real genuine gentleman. Legendary and ive seen him live 3 times, my favourite for sure.
Thats your opinion because in my opinion he aint even funny.
And someone liked your comment!?!
Go do something productive ffs!

I've seen a lot of comedians come an go , but Lee is my absolute favourite. Best ever ❤
ABSOLUTELY Sara the hair do scene is ABSOLUTELY hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯‼👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Lee, and Sarah Milican - so very different but both so funny. Loved this interview - seen Lee acting and he's good.

One of a few commedians who can consistently have you crying with laughter

Miss you Lee..Such an original talent..XX
I love these behind the scenes videos! Thank you, Lee, for sharing them! 😁
Lee Evans has got to be one of the funniest men to walk the planet! Over the years of watching him on stage, I have literally cried with laughter, tears dripping off my face! Thank you Lee, God bless you!!
The best comedian in the worl without question. Wish he would come back for one more night

I love seeing these interviews, a little look back at all the behind the scenes stuff going on to make all these things possible.
Watched Lee at the Brum Glee club doing the test out gig some 15 years ago, it was brilliant especially his rapport with getting feedback from the crowd.
The world needs a Lee Evans return
What an absolutely lovely, talented man. So caring and humble.
A brilliant insight into how Lee works and creates his shows.
Thanks for sharing.

And I instantly fell in love with his sense of humour been supporting him ever since so this is great to see behind-the-scenes.
Fantastic comedian and brilliant in one of my favourite films, Funny Bones.
been watching him right from the beginning,we all love ya lee, come baaack!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Legend. Reminds me of Norman Wisdom.
I’ve said the same thing as well! How funny! 😂 it’s Lee evens walk that’s kinda similar to the way Norman wisdoms walk.
Same here always thought that myself 😊
Best Brit stand up ever imo :)
Absolutely agree 👍
Billy Connolly?
No Bernard manning is you ask the comedians they will tell you .
Manning is about as amusing as haemorrhoids
Fantastic comedic artist!
Then bang!
Gives it all away for his family....miss seeing him, but obviously a proper bloke.
Christmas came early when I learned he was returning to entertain us all. Bless you Lee Evens sir X
Cracking ears...lovely.
Epic and a great man to listen to.
Lee talked about not letting the show run overtime. I once saw Ken Dodd and the show finished at half past midnight, lol
One of the best!
Absolutely luv Lee Evans! His comedy has made me laugh for years at a lot of my own situations. Thankfully I have DVD's to watch now that he is enjoying a well earned retirement.
5 elephants worked with Kathy Burke and made me genuinely laugh my socks off thanks Lee for all of it
He is so awesome, what a lovely, skilful guy 👍🏻
Great interview 😊 Lee Evans is a legend, a legend you just want to hug🤗😅
What a pity he’s retired from
stand-up, I really do hope he comes back to the stage one day.
Is he also officially retired from acting? Cuz frankly I find his stand up to be... average, but his comedic acting is unbelievable in Funny Bones etc -- and he was great In the decidedly serious Freeze Frame too!!

Please please think about doing them again please xxx
he gets what he deserves and that is total praise
What a lovely man
What's this program called?
Would love to see Phil do more interviews with other comedians
ive actually met him with my brother paul outside the tv studios in london and that was a funny moment itself..lol..
Lee Evans is brilliant so funny in my eyes. 😂 don't know who the other bloke is 😂😂😂
LEE, what a work horse with a massive workload 👏 .
Absolutely 💯 brilliant.
Enjoy your retirement, bruv.
... Jolly good at his job is Our Lee... 🏴✌️🥳
Lee you are the goat
My all time favourite growing up and I see this now and the reaction is the same. ☝🏼❤️🤜🏼
Must be the first time I've seen Lee not wet through in sweat....I love him, he does my kind of humour.... 😊
Cowabunga! Cracking to see this, fantastic drop of talent, tiptop channel 🐢🍕👍
Legend
Legend 🙌
I miss him so much he needs to come back n tour he is so funny. ❤❤
Lee Evans a bloody good night out
❤absolute legend
Superb comedian
I bet Lee Evans could play Norman wisdom.
Love ya buddy
I would love see him write and perform "Norman Wisdom-The Musical"
I've never liked Lee Evans live when he does his manic style of comedy. I've always much preferred him when he does interviews such as this where you get the "real" Lee Evans. I just personally think he's much funnier doing this sort of stuff. So yeah...this vid gets a Like from me.
Him and Eddie Izzard were THE comedians of the 90s
Lovely guy
Im sure he was sent down to earth as morman wisdoms double
Im sure of this.
Freeze frame is a top film.
He fantastic comic
I think Lee has forgotten the man who started it all "Billy Connolly"
I still hope he comes out of retirement and does a tour again.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO LEE?? HE JUST evaporated LIKE JACK DEE in a ball of sweat.(pun was intended Lee)😁😁
They should have got a comedian to interview him.
There’s nowt wrong with Phil. You don’t want someone who’s got a big ego, who tries to be funnier than the guest! 😊
Modern day Norman Wisdom
I've never enjoyed comedy stand up in arenas. Small venues are best.
When it's cold it's like a buttoned mushroom
08:28 😂😂
So Norman Wisdoms Love Child. When are you going to do a Return Show....😊😊😊...
‘Phil Jupitus’ “As a fellow Comedian “ …….Don’t make me Laugh !!.
I was under the impression that Lee Evans was quite well spoken in real life :\
Funniest man alive.
Wonder what Bruce Willis thought of him or vice versa?
His Wiki says he is retired!?
He’d be a great candidate for Joe Rogan to interview
One of the funniest men to tread the boards in my lifetime but how much better he would have been without the constant swearing. I'm no prude but I used to feel embarrassed for him at times.
I think I can overlook the language but I get your point.
I bet he returns one day for a come back tour. Peter Kay did and why not Lee Evans. Look how much material he would have form retirement. I bet his next show is a month long.
Has he genuinely retired guys ,I’d be gutted if he’s serious.
Yes. He has retired. Quite a few years ago now
What I want to know is with all the body and head smacking....how long did a mic last on a tour? I know those SM58's are robust but Lee must have thoroughly tested them to the limit...........
Not my cup of tea but seems like a nice guy. I see people compare him to Wisdom, bit of an insult, nothing wrong with being original.
Jupitus, what have you been eating??
What hasn't he!?!
lee where are you
Is he the son of Norman Wisdom ??
How old is this? I thought he died ages ago
He retired, but both Lee and Phil are still very much alive.
I love Lee but comedians have always worked in theatres. Its nothing new.
Ken Dodd would have worked for nothing then if arenas fined you for over running
Gig what a horrible word, what happened to concert
An unfunny man interviewing a funny man
Phil Jupiter….. who, how, 🤷
I misread this, i thought it said "The Dark side of Lee Evans", i clicked on this expecting to see hidden videos of him killing kittens with a hammer.
Unfortunately to me he's as funny as tooth ache
Your welcome to your opinion but in my opinion coming to a Lee Evans channel to press a Lee Evans video to watch a Lee Evans interview to comment your dislike to him is a waste of time and a comment box. To us fans he is hilarious and we don’t care what you think
The nobody interviewer not funny I turn off the second he appeared
