Lee Evans: XL Tour Live 2005

I have to admit to not having seen much of Lee Evans prior to seeing this comedy show, but I know for sure that I'll be seeing a lot more of him now! Evans' comedy isn't particularly clever or witty, but he tells in such a way that it's hard not laugh, and once you get into his zone, the whole show becomes funny - and when you consider this is over two hours long; that's quite an achievement, Mr Evans. The show focuses on things that Evans hates, and features great sections on things like machines, airports, women, the postal service and many other annoying things are well observed, and often correct. One of the funniest things about the show is simply the way that Evans laughs at his own jokes; what he's just said somehow becomes even funnier when you hear his comedic laugh following on. Evans' look gives him a great comedy edge, as he looks like someone you could have a laugh with, and on the evidence of this show; that's certainly true. Some people may find the show a little too frantic, or maybe even too similarly structured; but if you're looking for something to watch with you're friends while you have a few drinks - you could certainly do a lot worse than this!

I think that Lee Evans is really funny, and if you enjoyed his other, previous tours, I'm sure you'd enjoy this one just as much. Lee puts on an energetic, lively performance, and delivers fantastic jokes, interesting stories, and is a classic stand up comic; and this tour just goes to prove how great he really is! His gags are SO true to life and quotable, and Lee Evans is a pleasure to have fun and laugh along with! The songs at the end of the tour were SUCH a nice touch, and I think that this may be the best tour he has ever put on. I urge you to go and buy the DVD if you love Lee's work, you won't be disappointed! I was laughing so hard when I first watched this, and since I have been passing the DVD on to my friends, who have enjoyed it just as much!

i as a lee evans fan found the last comment completely wrong and off putting. i went to see lee evans in Manchester first time live i have seen him and the material he used on the DVD wasn't the same at all. i find mr evans to be a comic genius when I'm feeling down i watch him and i am feeling myself again. this last DVD had me crying from start to finish call me simple if you like but if you like comedy then you will like and enjoy this latest tour he is now currently holding the world record for a stand up comedian and i bought his whole collection and enjoy each one of them and i am happy i was at the gig when it happened. completely enjoyable from start to finish and i have turned plenty of people into lee evans fans i hope to see more in the near future. mr evans i salute you you do a cracking job.

Lee Evans rawxx !! The DVD XL Tour Live is over two hours but I was laughing all the way through the show! I gotta admit that I'm an easily distracted person and to keep me fixated on the show is a feat in itself! Kudos to Lee Evans for his wonderful comedies.

At first I had a feeling that I may not be able to understand the British slang, partly because I studied American English, but I gotta say that my fear is unfounded. Lee Evans spoke in British slang but it is easy enough for me to understand.

The joke is extremely funny, and if laughing loudly in your neighourhood is a criminal offense, please watch this DVD somewhere else. You have been warned! And I gotta say that this show will certainly make any man laugh, or at least smirk at his jokes.

There's something about Mary...yes, he was good in that. But a comedian? You must be joking. I recently read that he'd given up stand up comedy and was spending more time with his family. Great for us, not sure about them. Sometimes kids are a godsend.
