Evans keeps the laughs coming for over two hours!

I have to admit to not having seen much of Lee Evans prior to seeing this comedy show, but I know for sure that I'll be seeing a lot more of him now! Evans' comedy isn't particularly clever or witty, but he tells in such a way that it's hard not laugh, and once you get into his zone, the whole show becomes funny - and when you consider this is over two hours long; that's quite an achievement, Mr Evans. The show focuses on things that Evans hates, and features great sections on things like machines, airports, women, the postal service and many other annoying things are well observed, and often correct. One of the funniest things about the show is simply the way that Evans laughs at his own jokes; what he's just said somehow becomes even funnier when you hear his comedic laugh following on. Evans' look gives him a great comedy edge, as he looks like someone you could have a laugh with, and on the evidence of this show; that's certainly true. Some people may find the show a little too frantic, or maybe even too similarly structured; but if you're looking for something to watch with you're friends while you have a few drinks - you could certainly do a lot worse than this!
