I wanted to write about the Lee Evans show I saw on Saturday, but the weekend just ran away with itself and I ended up watching Transformers on Blu-ray last night (a story for another day)!
I could not fault the man for anything.
After just 5 minutes, I could feel tears of laughter rolling down my face and had to remember to breathe! The guy is, without any exaggeration, a complete genius.
He came out on time and performed for near enough 3 hours, including his trademark encore piece, his physical interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody. That's probably the only performance piece I'll talk about here because the tour is still on and I don't want people to stumble across this and ruin the fun for them. I purposely ignored a Facebook group because the first few posts where about his jokes from the Big tour.
I saw Bill Bailey at Wembley almost exactly a year ago (give or take a week) and that was one thing I'd ticked of my list of things to do. Seeing Lee Evans live was another and possibly one of those things competing for the very top. When I see Liverpool play at Anfield next week, that will most certainly be another!
If you can find tickets for the Big tour, please go. You will enjoy yourself and you will laugh. Guaranteed. If you can't, get the DVD. I will be adding it to my collection.
