Lee Evans: Live in Scotland

I have just seen this video. I really don't know what to say but it had me in stitches from the first minute to the last. it's not strictly a review of this, but if you liked this go watch lee live at wembly I didn't think it could be funnier but it is, but both are highly recommended.

What the hell was that not funny at all I was quit happy about this film cuz it said comedy but there wasn't any

Lee Evans. Remember him? He retired some years back but his name is still known for being a good stand-up comedian in his day. Perhaps he got out while the going was good. Maybe he'll do 'Mousehunt 2' one day...

He just wasn't very funny for me, Sorry to say but his appeal is rather lost on me. He's like a modern Norman Wisdom in many ways in terms of his manic physicality, which is a good thing.

He also lacks any real charm, has material that was being used by Noah on the ark, and I'm afraid here looks like he thinks he's God's gift to comedy.

He also falls in to that very easy trap of thinking that by throwing the 'F' word into his act every two seconds it will somehow elevate his material and make it funnier.

It does not.

So, I randomly stumbled upon this show, and noticed the incredibly high ratings, and thought to myself: "I've gotta watch this!" since i'm a huge stand-up comedy fan. To me, stand-up is and art form, and watching a good stand-up show is obviously very entertaining, so naturally i was looking forward to two enjoyable hours. Unfortunately I got disappointed. VERY disappointed. After watching 15 minutes and still not cracking as much as a smile I had to stop watching. There was NOTHING, not even a single joke, that i found funny, and his body language is incredibly annoying to watch. He aims towards the absolute lowest form of comedy/stand-up, so unless you like those kinds of jokes, do NOT watch this show.

Is Lee Evans the funniest comedian around today? Resounding yes me thinks.

Anyone who hasn't seen Lee Evans should try this. He's an extremely funny, energetic and enthusiastic comedian. His humour is based on observation, where he points out the obvious with a funny twist. Very, very funny, and worth the money just for the effort that he puts into his act. He must lose a couple of stone everytime he's on stage he sweats that much. He has tried his hand at sitcoms too, but don't judge him on that. For me, his sitcoms are poor, but his stand up is second to none.

I have just seen him live on his Wired and Wonderful tour and I think when the video comes out for that, if you like this, you should try that too. A genuine comedy genius, who'll have you crying with laughter. It's difficult to review one particular show as they are all so funny, but give this a shot as the Scotland show was special.
