Lee Evans (born February 25, 1964) is an award winning English stand-up comedian and actor.
Biography
Lee Evans was born in Avonmouth, Bristol, England. His secondary school was The Billericay School in Billericay, Essex. After a spell as a boxer and two years at art school in Essex, Evans decided to follow in his father's footsteps in the entertainment business. In his teens he moved to Rhyl, Wal
es, and played drums in a punk band that he has on the bill and won the contest. The first four years were spent touring working-men's clubs; the next five on the alternative circuit. Like a lot of now-established comics' his break came at the Edinburgh Festival in 1988. In 1981, at age 17, he marri
ed Heather Evans with whom he has a daughter, Mollie, born in 1994, and a dog, Brian, although in the "Wired and Wonderful" tour and DVD he says his dog is called Rex (he may have two dogs or one may have died then the other replaced the first). They live in Billericay. [edit]Career [edit]Stand-up
comedy Lee Evans rose to fame during the 1990s in his home country, becoming noted for his loud, hot, sweaty, energetic on-stage performances, mastery of humourous voices, and very physical, observational alternative comedy. He is regarded as having a Norman Wisdom--style of slapstick comedy acting,
and in many respects has taken on Wisdom's role for a later generation.[citation needed] In his earlier work, he often used a dysfunctional character called Malcolm to illustrate how he viewed unusual characters in the world. One of the trademarks of Evans's performances is his sweatiness: he is us
ually drenched in his own sweat. During most of his headlining performances, he often must take an intermission, during which he changes into a completely different suit; he once said that this was because he was "as nervous as a nun awaiting her pregnancy test results". He has also said that his su
its are regularly thrown away after just one performance, mainly because of the sweat, with dry-cleaners refusing to handle them.[citation needed] A second trademark is The Lee Evans Trio, which consists of him on a bare stage, in a spotlight, miming to a recording of instrumental sound; the spotlig
ht goes out, only to reappear in another location, to which Evans has moved during the blackout, and where he is now miming playing a different instrument. He mimes in three locations, with an imaginary drum kit, double bass and piano. A third trademark is his apparent "stage fright". At the beginni
ng of his act he'll often pretend to get the microphone cord tangled up or thrown over his shoulder, or even that it doesn't work (he'll begin to talk but nothing is heard, until the end of a gag or question is suddenly audible). He may spend the first few minutes rambling as if he can't remember wh
at he came on stage for. Often he will tilt the microphone stand and pretend to machine gun the audience, again as a nervous reaction and supposed "time filler". Evans is also known for performing music skits at the end of every gig, usually his world-famous mime to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". His
live act is also notable for its persistent use of variations of the word fuck. In November 2005, Evans broke the Guinness World Record for a solo act performing to the biggest comedy audience, playing to 10,108 at the Manchester Evening News Arena. Evans will tour Britain with a brand new stand-up
act, "Big", in Autumn 2008, with a DVD of the tour released in November. During this tour he will become the first comedian to play at the O2 Arena in London [edit]Acting Evans has made a number of film appearances, most notably in Funny Bones, Mousehunt, There's Something About Mary, The Fifth Ele
ment, The Ladies Man, The Martins and The Medallion. Evans also provided the voice for Train in the 2005 film The Magic Roundabout. From 1993-1994 Evans appeared in the Channel 4 late-night show Viva Cabaret!, both as a host and as a guest performer. In 1996, Evans starred in the one-off show The Wo
rld of Lee Evans. In 2001, he wrote a sitcom called So What Now?. In 2004 he starred as a paranoid murder suspect in his first non-comic role in the film Freeze Frame. Although warned they may never grow back, he shaved his eyebrows (as well as his hair). (They did.) Lee also recently played the mai
n character in ITV's The History of Mr Polly that is based on the H. G. Wells novel of the same name.
