Lee Evans sticks to a winning formula


Can 80,000 Lee Evans fans be wrong?
The compact Essex clown has just completed four sold-out shows with one more to come, shattering the previous comedy record of two shows set by Chris Rock this year.
Making 16,000 fans a night giggle takes some beating.
It is a shame that at times yesterday the laughs were dwarfed by the scale of the event.
The trouble is that to be this popular one inevitably succumbs to lowest common denominator syndrome.
Evans is the Oasis of stand-up. Huge but rarely groundbreaking.
Thus we get well-thumbed topics — sport,road rage, nagging wives, adverts, phones.
His observation about razors having ridiculous names such as Turbo and Stealth was also made to me by a Broadstairs chemist on Sunday.
Although, unlike Evans, he did not run around like a demented chimp as he said it.
It was the physicality that saved the day. A blind acquaintance recently remarked that he used to love this people’s champion until he lost hissight and realised that minus the comic contortions and Chaplinesque waddling the gags were pedestrian.
With body and mouth in synch though, there were still some fine moments, such as when he wondered why it is easier to don a coat alone than when someone is helping and then demonstrated the scenario.
Evans bobbed and weaved like a prizefighterand sweated by the bucketload, but truly knockout punchlines were few and far between.
Topical material extended little beyond a line about Northern Rock and a diatribe against hospitals, which are so plagued by superbugs that “Mrs Mopp is in charge now”.
A joke about being unable to remove CD wrappers felt threadbare in this download age.
It was a reminder that Evans, with his riffs about being henpecked and his sincere “now this is me” musical encore, is strangely old school.
Then again, when he did try something different, such as his quickfire portrait of a relationship from speed date to divorce, he received only polite applause.
The audience wanted new hits that sounded like the old hits or just the old hits.
Evans eventually gave them what they wanted, closing with his much-loved Bohemian Rhapsody mime.
A classic routine in every sense, shame the fresh material could not match it

Evans receives Stafford backing, Non-league football


LEE Evans will have another opportunity to stake his claim as Stafford Rangers' first choice goalkeeper when he faces Northwich Victoria at Marston Road tomorrow (3pm).
Injuries have hindered the former Chasetown stopper following his move to the Blue Square North side in the summer.
But Stafford boss Chris Brindley believes supporters have yet to see the best of Evans and hopes the midweek 3-2 defeat of high-flying Ilkeston Town will be a much needed boost.
"When you are not winning games, everything and everyone gets questioned," said Brindley.
"Lee has not been at his best, but he has had a broken nose and a broken metatarsal, and because he has been struggling, his confidence is low.
"But the more he plays, the better he will be. It's like with everyone, he just needs a bit of confidence at the moment."
Defender Andy Owens and midfielder Levi Reid missed the Ilkeston match with flu and remain doubtful. Skipper Bobby Wilson picked up an injury in midweek, but should be fit.

Evans sat a second day,Why


Lee Evans sat for a second heterosexual practice, but is not injured. Head coach Dick Jauron explained why.
“It was kind of planned after the game particularly,” said Jauron. ”Just sore. Lee did a lot of running in camp because we had an unfortunate (injury) positionwith our receivers all through camp.”
The Bills were down in numbers in camp from the first week to the end of camp with guys like Terrell Owens, Felton Huggins, C.J. Hawthorne and James Hardy all missing time this summer. That put more strain on Evans and others. Evans did not miss a single practice from the beginning of camp until these two rest days Monday and Tuesday.

About Lee Evans

Showbiz is in Lee Evans' blood. His dad Dave raised Lee and his brother whilst touring UK clubs and seaside towns. After attending art school, Lee followed in his father's footsteps to the stand-up circuit. Four years at working men' clubs, and five on the alternative circuit later… Lee Evans became a huge hit at the 1988 Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Since then Lee Evans' stand-up and live television appearances have had the nation in hysterics. Famous for his very physical brand of comedy, and tendency to play the underdog, he has often been compared to Norman Wisdom. Closer inspection of his act shows that it's just what he does best. Evans is one of the rare UK comedians to have scored major hits at the cinema. Making his film debut in Funny Bones, he then found international fame with his role in gross-out There's Something About Mar and slap-stick Mouse Hunt.
