A unique chance to experience the irrepressible energy and charms of "Lee Evans Live From The West End". Straight from starring opposite Jerry Lewis in the acclaimed feature film "Funny Bones" and following his own hit T.V. show - "The World Of Lee Evans" - the brightest young star in British comedy performed exclusively for one night only on stage in London's glittering West End.

Perfect cast and a good story
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I am a very big fan of the physical sweating comedian Lee Evans. Every time I see one of his live shows I know it is going to have new mad, wild and ingeniously written and performed comedy from the excellent stand up. This "West End" show was probably the first time that the public had seen Lee Evans on stage, because at the beginning there was a sequence of quotes about "a new young comedian", so it must be his first. this is a really good example of Lee Evans talented physical jokes and hilarious bad language. The only highlights I can always remember in this show are McDonalds jokes, and probably his early Bohemian Rhapsody sequence near the end. Lee Evans was number 23 on 100 Greatest Stand-Ups, and he was number 14 on Britain's Favourite Comedian. Very good!
If you fancy a bit of exercise watch this as it will make you exhausted just watching it! Lee Evans is a Hyper Active comic who does not stay still for a second. He relies a little on this ( and his funny faces) for laughs as his material is not the best in this movie. You may know Lee from the Film Mousehunt and Funnybones. This is not the last we will hear from the future Big Star Lee Evans. 7 out of 10
