I'm a huge fan of Lee Evans, but his latest stand up show Big: Live at the O2 was a bit off. Some gags were a bit out dated. And his little dating agency skit disappointingly unfunny - nowhere close to his Bohemian Rhapsody. The second half of his show was better than the first, but he needs to find some new topics to work on.
It goes through the same sequence and some of the stuff here were just reworded versions of his gags from his Wembly gig. His topics are his family, women, sport, the NHS, and old people. Undoubtedly he is still hilarious, but he needs a change. Some examples of his outdated gags include him mentioning how small mobile phones are these days. Actually, they are becoming bigger. The touch screen topics were quite lame when he mentions how touch screen 'has been around for ages'. Also the gag saying he would tell a person to 'f*ck off' if they asked him to go play golf. I'm sure the audience wanted to tell him to f*ck off if he said golf is sh*te. This gag went on too long, as as soon as he talked about the scoring system - we knew exactly where he was headed.
And he mentioned his ass a bit too often for my liking.
I am looking forward to his next tour whenever that happens, but I hope he updates his topics. Otherwise he may become too stale.
