    Saw Lee live in a small theatre in Birmingham back in 1993 - we howled with laughter from the opening line: "Anybody ever had an imaginary friend at school? I did - they were real people - I just imagined they were my friends".

    This is heartbreaking in so many ways. Lost years realised after the loss of a life, but he’s a man of his word - and a good man at that. So humble and full of humility, the best comedian there is.

    I always play lee evans to my patients at work who suffer with dementia and brain injuries and hand on heart.. Lee gives them so much laughter, they will literally watch from start to finish and just be laughing continuously.
    Lee if you're reading this, I just want you to know, you're a god send and we're so blessed to have you in our lives. You touch the hearts of so many people. God bless!

    Lee Evans has made me laugh more than ANY other comedian has EVER, and I NEVER EVER thought he would EVER get me emotional with his words, but when he was talking about his manager (R.I.P) and he said his manager would always say to him "Don't worry, I'll look after you", that proper got me man and I know that hurt
    Bless you Lee, you're a proper diamond geezer mate...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    Always been a massive fan of Lee Evans such a legend. Such a very humble and down to earth guy. I had the honour of going to see him at the o2 and still remains the best comedian in my book. I was crying with laughter from start to finish. After the show ended he came back on stage to shake hands with people in the crowd. He stayed for a very long time. Shame he is stopping but hats off to him. He deserves a break. True top guy.... Best wishes to you Lee

    100% love this guy, and he told the truth.. you meet him in the street he is just a joy to chat too. Polite, funny and always gives himself generously to those that recognise him. I was lucky to live near Lee for many years in his hometown. I had the pleaseure of meeting him out shopping, and it is a memory I will cherish for ever. Had me in stitches.... I wish Lee a happy retirement.

  • @andyaitken4243
    @andyaitken4243 Před 2 lety +9

    I’ve followed Lee for all of his time in the spotlight, even at a time before the spotlight and he hasn’t changed a bit.
    The only thing he has changed is the swearing and that is due to comedy being more effective with modern audiences when there’s swearing and the times have changed.
    From his early days doing stand up to his movie role in the Jackie Chan film The Medallion he is a comedy legend in the exact same vein of Sir Norman Wisdom. As with Sir Norman, when (and I hope for for many, many years to come) I hear of Lee’s passing I will drink a toast, shed a tear and remember one of the greatest comedians of our time.

    @Jonny_Justice Před rokem +2

    This is such an incredible interview, watching the real Lee Evans open up in this way.
    You’re spot on too, it’s so important not to lose focus on family/friends but sadly it’s also far too easy to let work dominate your existence in this day and age.
    I would dearly love to see some new material from Lee one day, but if I don’t then that’s fine too, you’ve provided enough laughs to last a lifetime.
    I grew up watching Lee (I am 49 now) and your version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody has stayed with me since the early 90’s!
    Thanks for all the laughs 😄👌🏼
