Same in Nottingham, Man had me in tears.

He used to do 150-200 nights per year shows, 90mins to 2 hours long each, and his energy levels were the same from the first minute up to the last minute and never stopped moving on stage. I've only seen Jim Carrey full live twice, and yes he had moments of crazy energy bursts but this was only moment. Lee's energy was constant throughout the whole of his show. Hands down Lee had more energy than Jim Carrey, I would say Jim had about 10-15 minutes in total of crazy energy, Lee the whole 90 of the show.

Lee Evans live is something else. You get carried along on wave after wave of laughter. When I saw him he had a towel at the front of the stage which he used regularly. He was sopping wet with sweat within a couple of minutes of starting his act. His suit looked like it was wringing wet by the end of the show. He's a funny, funny man. I hope he's enjoying his well earned retirement.

Lee Evans and Jim Carey had extraordinary energy but also don’t forget the late great Robin Williams, he had great energy and is sadly missed 😢

I miss Robin. His comedy was a huge part of me growing up and helped to form my sense of humour. My favourite band made a song about him (though you'd not know if you just listened) called The Tears of a Clown.

Some of the things Lee comes up with are so left field it just cracks you up. A national treasure for sure.

I never got to see him live, but he lives in Billericay near my hometown. Me and my friends a few year ago ran into him on a hot day, we were sitting on a high wall just pissing around and having a laugh and recognized him and had a chat. He had this big crate of water in his car he'd just bought, when he left he gave us each a bottle and told us to stay hydrated in the heat. Lovely bloke

Saw him live several times ....hilarious. Met him afterwards, very humble, nice guy🙂

Absolutely loved watching Lee, not just the jokes/stories but the physical comedy took it to another level 😂

Lee evans actually has done mimes, he mimed the whole of the queen song bohemian rhapsody and where he was a 3 man band. Maybe he's done mote but those are only ones that I can think of.

Lee Evans v Jim Carrey - in their prime Lee, no misguided loyalty just having had the privilege of seeing him at this period in an audience of only 50-60 people (unannounced secret gig) I could see the physiological stress his body went through. Non stop, unforgiving and utterly relentless for 90 minutes. Simply incredible.

The landlord of the pub next door to where this was filmed gave him his first break and allowed him to perform there. So when he did this final tour he decided to film the DVD of the performance in this city as a way of having things come full circle. I was at this performance with my parents at the time and the look on my dads face when he found out that they would be filming it was hilarious it was a mixture of fear embarrassment and shock. My dad is quite a shy person so this was like a nightmare to him. Fortunately we were never filmed be he still dosent believe we didn't know.(they only announced it when we got there so how could we know) anyway we all had a good time regardless and we're sad to hear when he announced his retirement after the sudden death of his friend/manager.(I think he took it as a sighn it was time to calm his life down)

This man needs to make a come back he's brilliant he doesn't tell joke he tells real life facts 😂 🤣 that we can all relate to lmao

One of my favourite comedians EVER to watch. Watched him first with my mum when I was a kid. Always wanted to see him live but never got to before he retired :((

Lee Evans retired in 2014 because he was away from his family so much, with him doing upwards of 70 dates in a single tour as well as his long time friend who was his manager dying. I saw Lee at one of his ever shows in Brighton, it was such an amazing thing to be apart of. You just can't top that kind of energy. His bigger shows during his later tours such as the ones held at the O2 Arena has over 60,000 people. You should react to Lee's "How company directors pay themselves more money" skit during one of his earlier tours. It's absolutely hilarious

Policing from horseback is extremely effective in certain situations such as sporting events. Officers can view the crowd from a high vantage point, can hear what’s going on, and can move 10 people at a time with a gentle broadside of the horse. This could not be achieved with a car. No one is suggesting they are about to try and chase a Ferrari. Love your channel Boomer!

Yes but comedy requires exaggeration

I went to see Lee Evans live a few years back. My ribs and cheeks hurt within five minutes of him coming on. I laughed solid for two hours. At the end I was totally exhausted.

Lee Evans live at Wembley. I swear brother, hilarious from start to finish. He does bohemian rhapsody on there. Man, you have to see this if you haven't already. Peace man

when you said there seemed to be a lot of people there ! This guy filled the largest arenas, and tickets were like gold dust !

Check out his Bohemian Rhapsody sketch, absolutely brilliant. Miming at his best

Jim Carrey and Lee Evans both give of the same Energy in my book. Also yeah Lee is the spitting Image of Norman Wisdom. One of the best British Comedians of his time.

Seen him one in a show and he was so histerical I could hardly breath. Only one of a few comedians in the UK that could sell out a full stadium. He retired a few years ago but his comedy is still the highest of quality and no one has matched him since he left. A true comedy legend

Lee Evans is one of my all time favourite comedians, lee was always full of energy, nerves and always sweated like a water tap and the most funniest part of his acts are always the faces etc he does lol watch more like when Lee did Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody XD and you will lose it or as you say it will kill you (of laughter), i enjoy watching your reactions, great stuff 👊 and i would say Lee Evans had more ''energy'' than jim Carrey.

Congrats on your 50k subscribers, well deserved. I love watching your reactions, your laugh is very infectious. Loving the Inbetweeners reactions as well. We have quite a few very good Stand up comedians here, Michael McIntyre and Rhod Gilbert both reduce me to tears of laughter much like Lee Evans does.

Rhod Gilberts luggage sketch is a classic. Cracks me up every time.

Much respect for Lee Evans, retired at the peak of his career, literally left us wanting more, to enjoy his life with his family. Not only did he have a lot more energy than Jim Carrey,...Lee Evans didn't come with all the late career political nonsense,...he understood he was an entertainer, and he knew when to call it a day and become a private citizen again. Great guy.

i saw this show live at the o2 in London in 2014. It's one thing seeing it on you tube or the TV, but it's another to watch it live, even if you are watching the screens more because you're so far back and he's so small because of KEKW. His song at the end of his show is a highlight too. You should 100% react to Norman Wisdom, the person who Lee took A LOT of inspiration from.

Fantastic reaction video 👌 my eyes were streaming with tears & my abdominal muscles are still aching from laughing so hard 😂

This is one of my favorites of his stand-up routines and most definitely in my top 10 for sure... just his raw energy is absolutely amazing, he's one of the best comics to come out of the UK and one comic us British love!!!

I think he's actually got a world record for biggest audience at a comedy show

In England Lee always reminds me of a dearly beloved comedy actor from the past. @ 1950s . He was Norman Wisdom. lee is a supercharged version of Norman. And must have studied Norman (one of the greatest).

I really regret never going to see Lee Evans live..... He was an amazing on stage comedian and fantastic on screen in movies & TV shows... Always reminded me of Norman Wisdom & Jerry Lewis...

Met Lee many times, as I work in a Theatre..a genuinely lovely, humble man..an absolute pleasure to meet..his gigs were great, so funny! He is retired now though.

If you have not seen them, Lee was in a few films One was Mouse Hunt with Nathan Lane and the other was "Something about Mary" You should watch them ^^ lol

Lee is so funny. So many times he has had me in hysterics. Such as when he says when ya wife or girlfriend sidle up to you on a dance floor at a Wedding and puts you in a bad mood before she tells ya. She says, I’ve got something to tell ya right but, when I tell ya, don’t go off on one, cos I know what your like and your saying WHAT THE FXXXXX HELL IS IT. 😂

Trying to remember your passwords is another hilarious video from this comedian definitely worth a watch

Energy levels? Lee of course - his live shows went on for hours! Then he'd finish with playing the piano and a song. Very talented man. Good comic actor - Mousetrap and Fifth Element. Only recently retired wanting to spend more time with his family as he was away on tour a lot. That's our loss. Still we have his shows on line etc.

Lee Evans is like a real life version of Frank Spencer from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Absolutely hilarious

In the UK Police Horses are used for crowd control mainly at major sporting events (football matches / Rugby etc). If a Police Officer on a Horse tells you to stay were you are until the area behind the Horse is clear particularly when opposing fans are close by you do it.

Saw him at the NIA whilst I was at university about 20 years ago. He was great and did the Bohemian Rhapsody skit as part of a significant encore! Back then, you were lucky if you could get a ticket. The guys longevity is incredible.

As someone from England Lee Evans and Jim Carrey are the same as (English) Chips vs Fries. They are similar but not the same and anyone who cannot tell the difference either doesn't really care or hasn't taken the time to learn the difference. Also note - In England we have BOTH chips and fries, we grow up with both and we know the difference, Americans assume they are the same and they are mistaken not because of any fault on your part but because you have never been given the chance to learn the difference.

I watched his last tour live. He was brilliant and so sad he hasn’t done a comeback 🙁

Lee evans is awesome glad he made you laugh love from uk 🇬🇧 ❤

Lee Evans is still my favourite comedian , his energy , faces and noises , jokes and music is all top quality , he retired around 2014 or so hasn't done anything except the Graham Norton show I think since but we all hope one day one last hoorah but if not he earned his retirement he was all or nothing !

He made a rare TV appearance a few years ago on the Graham Norton show and despite being retired he hasn't lost any of that energy. A friend of mine met him once at an event his wife was putting on and she said he seemed really grumpy at first but turned out to be a really lovely guy.

Oh yeay! Just found this . I recommended this hilarious, loveable loon ages ago! 😂

I honestly thought the reaction was never going to start lol 🤣

I would recommend Lee Evans "When the car breaks down" or his compilation on his wife excellent comedy

Lee Evans cracked America when he appeared in “theres something about Mary” with Ben Stiller

Love your reactions and Congratulations on reaching 50k subscribers and I went to see Lee Evans on his last tour back in 2014 and It was a excellent experience and he is so funny

Random but I loved Lee Evans little turn in The Fifth Element! 😂

I was a big Lee Evans fan when I was younger, so I really enjoyed this. I think Lee Evans live in Scotland was probably the one I found funniest. Check it out if you have time. Appreciate all the work you do to keep us laughing. Love watching things with you and the queen 🙂

I loved Lee as Norm, in Something about Mary, with Cameron Diaz.

Lee Evans retired from comedy in 2014, in his late 40s. He was still the UK's top-earning stand-up at the time. Is known to prefer the quiet life, and stays of the limelight.

I saw lee evans live in Brighton in 2005. He is special and does a great show. Police on horses are renoun for being excellent for crowd control.

I remember sitting in the second row at the Newbury corn exchange and being showered a couple of times with a sweaty mist. Baptised by Lee Evans!!!

Lee Evans was doing this for 20-30 years last show just as much energy

Congratulations to 51000 subscribers enjoy your weekend and enjoy this nut job of a legend that is Lee Evans 🤣🤣😱👊😎🤟🙈🤣🤣

I just wanted to say, in case you weren't aware. Lee Evans was also in the film Fifth Element, with Bruce Willis. He had a small ish part, but still animated and very funny 😂

Lee Evans comedy is reminiscent of the late great Norman Wisdom (Sir) 🌹

Lee Evans did about 2 hr shows with an interval...and he would change suit cos he would sweat so much it would actually soak his jacket...seen him live 3 times....a huge UK comedian.

Saw him during his last tour and he was brilliant

2014 was Lee's last show before he retired. Love your reactions!

Having seen Lee Evans on DVD and live on 3 occasions, I miss his performances. I would gladly watch him if he ever decided to return to stand up comedy

Keep up the good work.....love the channel especially the queen.....cute!!

I can remember a friend Jeff , was standing to close to a police horse , standing in the Queue outside a football stadium and the horse sh*t on his shoulder .

Lee Evans will always be my absolutely favourite comedian.

His greatest mine was the Bohemian Rhapsody😅

He’s retired from stand up but still does play writing and the stars in the odd play himself. He’s a clever guy

I seen Lee Evans live back in 2011 and 2013, it’s absolutely electric being in the same room as him!

I had the pleasure of seeing this live at the O2 arena

As it happens he has a brilliant mime performance called 'Lee Evans Trio'. I highly recommend it.

Hello! This is from Lees very last tour before he retired!! It’s hard to believe this is was in 2014 which is 9 years ago. Lee Evans was one of those rare comedians who brought physical stand up comedy to the fore. He sold out to so many venues. So many people want him to come back. I really do miss him but Lee deserves his retirement for all the years and effort he put into every show. He’s not just a physical comedian. He sings on every show at the end. Each song is well put together and are all second to none. You really need to review Lee’s Bohemian Rhapsody sketch. I promise after watching it you won’t be able to think about this song without being reminded of Lee Evans when it plays

I was at that Gig while it was being filmed....Great night🤣🤣

I've seen Lee Evans live several times, he is so funny 😂 such a shame he retired, but he had spent so many years on the road.

When he says a copper on a Shetland pony they are miniature pony’s big horse for major crime and tiny horses for community policing 😂

Lee retired in 2018, his daughter studied in University of Florida

Yeah he has retired now and this video that you are watching on here was his final tour and luckily I got to go and see him live on this tour, incredible experience

Lee Evans is the king of comedy .

Probably the funniest thing I’ve seen that made me inhale my coffee and come out through my nose was the comedy “Episodes with Matt Le Blanc and Stephen Mangham. I’m not sure if it’s on KZread but it’s the “ have you ever had sex with a deaf girl” scene. My ribs hurt for days after that. I still can’t believe they got away with it. Awesome.

Lee Evans has been in a few movies you've probably seen, including the fifth element with Bruce Willis, something about Mary with Cameron Diaz and the medallion with Jackie Chan.

I got to see Lee Evans when he did his final tour. I saw him on the Wednesday night and then he appeared on a TV show on the Saturday announcing he was retiring. He was a comedy legend in the UK and tried to break into America and starred in a couple of films including There’s Something About Mary

Where do I get that Ric Flair and Wu Tang shirt? That’s absolutely brilliant!😂

I grew up watching lee Evans he’s a legend he use to sell out massive shows

I’ve seen lee 3 times & I swear it was bloody fantastic never laughed so much & yes he retired age 52 because he was not seeing his wife as much & never got to see his kids grow up

The term muppet here is calling someone an idiot basically. 🤣

Lee is a national treasure for me the funniest man alive.

Lee Evans also played a role in the movie Something About Mary.

Lee Evan's is also an actor, he was in The Fifth Element.

If Lee Evans announced a new standup tour, it would sell out within an hour.

When you call some one a Muppet in the UK it means idiot lol 😂

He retired because he said he wanted to spend time with his family. Where he was on tour constantly he missed most of his children's early milestones. First step, word, day at school etc. I was lucky enough to see him live twice. First was at the Wembley Pavilion and the second was at Greenwich O2 arena

He was excellent in the comedy film Mousehunt

Haha just notice the wooooo!!! Tang shirt that's epic 🤣🤣

Let's see if his mime act gets you laughing. Lee evans bohemian rhapsody
