Award winning stand up back with first DVD release in three years
Lee Evans, arguably Britain’s best loved stand up comedian, celebrates his biggest tour to date with an accompanying DVD release, Lee Evans – Big – Live at the O2, on Monday 24th November.
The long awaited DVD, Lee’s first in three years, marks the culmination of a colossal nationwide tour that has seen Lee play an incredible 59 arena dates across 13 cities, playing to 500,000 people. The DVD is recorded in front of a 16,000 capacity crowd at the O2 Arena as part of his 5 sell out nights at the venue. He also played a further 5 sell out nights at Wembley Arena, which brought his audience in London alone to over 130,000 people, a UK record. To celebrate this milestone, Lee also unveiled at plaque at Wembley Arena in the Square of Fame.
This new DVD is the perfect purchase for fans looking to relive Lee’s trademark gags, as well as comedy lovers seeking a serving of yuletide merriment. Lee Evans – Big – Live at the O2 is a second chance for those that missed the tour to capture all of the comic capers. With Lee’s trademark rants more fast and furious than ever before, Britain’s most energetic comic is at his very best.
Over two hours, Lee unleashes his uncanny observations on life’s little annoyances in his own unique and frantically physical way. As well as the DVD, a CD and audible DTO will also be released on 24th November. DVD extras include the making of the underwater scenes on the DVD and backstage footage featuring Lee in rehearsal.
Lee boasts an astonishing popularity, sealed when he picked up a Guinness World Record in 2005 for accumulating the largest ever comedy audience, an award he was presented with in Manchester at the MEN Arena.
Not only a critically acclaimed stand up artist, Lee was Olivier nominated for his performance on the West End in The Producers, and took on starring roles in movies including There’s Something About Mary, MouseHunt and The Martins.

One of my friends saw Lee Evans and she thought he was so funny. Seems like he’s been around for ages and I loved him in MouseHunt.
When I was about 5 my parents took me to see Norman Wisdom. Lee really reminds me of Norman Wisdom.. uncanny similarities!
Was gutted not to get tickets for this, next time!
My mate met Lee Evans before his gig at Southend and he said that he’s a really nice guy and just as funny in real life! I love his facial expressions, he cracks me up! I’ve got a couple of his DVDs, would love to see him live at some point though.
VERY FUNNY GUY. SAW HIM IN LONDON LAST TIME. MISS HIM THIS TIME KNOW.
I agree with Consultantwan about the Norman Wisdom likeness. I like the 02 venue. Just been to see Queen and Paul Rodgers! Fab!
You can get your dinner there before you go in! YUM!
Question – What’s the begining of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end and the end of every race?
Answer – The letter E.
Saw him live a couple of years ago, hilarious bloke.
I love lee evans, very funny fella.
Absolutely funny bloke, Lee Evans, a great example of intelligent visual physical comedy as opposed to smartarse lewd smutty comments from the likes of Ross and Brand pretending to be comedy.
We went to see Lee in Malvern Theatres. He made joke about a guy who went to the toilet. After that nobody dared to move!
lee evans is funny as he always sweats buckets when he is on stage , it always looks like he has just come off the log flume haha
Really feelin’ the love for Lee Evans right now.
I love Lee Evans so funny. Fab site girlies!

some blokes on the outside of the plane going, You alright mate?!”
cracks me up everytime!
LOL :D
I liked that silent thing he was in years ago, when he plays the garage attendant trying to understand someone’s order, and when he finally lets them in to get it themselves they rob him!
I was meant to go see him in October but never ended up going :( Can’t wait to see this DVD!!
Was meant to see Lee Evans a couple of months ago , but my daughter was poorly so missed it, think he’s hilarious.
I have all his stand up dvds, very funny fella, reminds me of Norman Wisdom,

My eyes fill with tears ,
as his jokes reach my ears,
I’ve been a fan for many years!!!
If anybody hasn’t seen Lee Evans- Live in Edinburgh, get a copy. Watch the scene near the end where he serenades the audience playing the paino. Guaranteed to make you wet your knickers!
I’d love to win this for my husband as when he went to see Lee Evans at the O2 he overindulged in the hospitality and can’t remember a thing about the concert!! Don’t worry I made sure he suffered the following day!! and he is very sorry now!
My son saw him live and says hes the funniest man i’ll ever see. I’ve never heard of him, so would be nice to see
I saw Lee Evans for the first time doing stand up this year. Have always wanted to see him and my hubby was lucky to get some last minute tickets after someone had cancelled. He was probably the best stand up I have ever seen live. He had no support act and was on stage for hours and hours. He works so hard and enjoys every minute of being on stage. You certainly get your money’s worth at a Lee Evans comedy gig. Wonderful.
Lee evans is a legend. Absolutely loves his geeky ways!!
I’d love to win this, as my son went to the show but arrived late, and says what he saw of the show was brilliant. He had travelled 70 miles as well!!!!
I LOVE LEE!!!!!!!!!
seriously funny guy, has me in stitches! would love to see him live!
xx
Manic but incredibly funny!!!
I would love to win this, Lee is a legend!
Lee is the only commedian that the whole family find hilarious – it would make a great Christmas if we could win this DVD. Lee is such a fun many who studies the details of daily life and retells then with such wit and timing – excellent.
Love this lil guy!
would love to win this as i think he is a really funny guy! would make for lovely xmas viewing……..
Just got my wife into watch some Lee Evans stuff, would be great to win this!! =) She did even realise he was in Something about Mary!
Newsflash
A woman has been rushed to hospital with a vacuum cleaner pipe stuck up her nose. She’s still in Intensive care but she’s picking up nicely. boom boom!
This would make an excellent Christmas Eve present for my brother. He’s comedy mad and he particularly enjoys watching Lee Evans.
Why did the turkey cross the road??…………………..
it was the chickens day off ! haha
