Lee Evans Shares Awkward Heckler Run-In From Childhood | The Jonathan Ross Show 

He's a natural born entertainer. Yet so down to earth, humble and relatable. Love his authenticity ❤️

Saw him live , nearly sick laughing, so sad he’s retired

Come back Lee, British people need cheering up again after coronavirus lockdown, you and peter kay are badly missed in my opinion, two very funny men.🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My favourite comedian, absolute legend!

You can see he appreciates every element of his craft...he doesn't just do laughs he understands how things look to the audience as he's delivering it.Looks like a guy down the wetherspoons but he's an absolute master...thats why he sold out arenas in a time when most other comediens in the UK couldn't sell out a front room.I think his social awkwardness,genuine nervous energy and his ability to get through all that in such spectacular fashion is the gold dust that makes people love him.

This man seems ageless. One of the comedy greats from the UK.

What I would do to see this man perform live😩😩 absolute genius

There is a lot of Norman Wisdom in Lee's comedy style.

The man is a genius so sad he has retired, a really gifted straight actor also.

The humour was always on my level but imagine if you could harness that energy ?!? Solar and Hydroelectric have got nothing ! But more than anything, he loves his family and that’s beautiful. We love you Lee and thank you for making us laugh 🥰

Seen him live and was sore by the time show finished. Met him as well and he was an absolute gentleman.

Love Lee's comedy. He's a fascinating guy. Sooo funny. Not afraid to show his vulnerability. Must go and see him live some time ((if he's came out of retirement). Have watched most of his videos. Hugely underated comedic talent.

still one of the best comedians to grace us with his presence

No matter how many times I watch him I still laugh at him and that is true comedy 🎭

what a funny man!! please Lee, come back... we all miss you

He doesn’t seem to have aged a day. He’s still as funny as ever and totally makes you laugh out loud. It’s good for the soul.

He is a gem, love him :D

Absolute national treasure

Genius, sad I never got to see him live but have all he's stand up on DVD. I have recently been watching them with my 11-year-old son and he also loves him and that makes me love lee even more. Seeing my son laughing and smiling his head off because of the genius mind of Lee Evans fills me with happiness. I wish one day I will have the luck and privilege of meeting him 🤞✌️❤️

OMG. Loved him during my student days. Bought his VHS video tapes before the VCD even on Sale. He still look young while i aged terribly. Love you Lee.

One of the nicest people I’ve ever met! So sweet! 🥰

Never got the chance to watch him,only a young lad but always been my favourite comedian,would make my life watching lee live

imagine if the bbc , or any channel had lee evans on at christmas , the ratings would rocket

I miss Lee. Imagine his writing on the last couple of years!! Lol

He is missed so much

Only a comedian like Lee can be hilarious just in the moment

Lee: "I always came *2nd* in boxing and *3rd* if there was a *ref!"* 3:27 😅😂

Love how physical Lee Evans humour is. He doesn’t have to say anything x

He's a great guy. Guaranteed to make me laugh every time. Come back Lee!!!

Lee Evans cracks Me up. Always makes Me LOL #Quality 😂

Love this man

The only comedian i piss myself laughing at when hes not even speaking. Just his constant fidgeting is hilarious 🤣

Ohhh dang it.. I miss lee so much..

i saw him live in Plymouth twice he is the best comic and entrainer very down to earth too met after the show

Oh jack dee , Lee Evans superb. 👏

I want whatever drugs he’s having.

Love lee such a legend

What a really interesting interview

Why does Lee, pretending to be his dad, pretending to be a carpet, make me laugh SO much?! 😆

I bet he sleeps with one eye open. Lovely man.

I know comedy has changed and is a shell of itself and that lee has earned his retirement 1000 fold but it a English genuine need his help to just feel alil less shit though pure joy and laughter. He’s the GOAT

Really sad he's not still 'working'. Can't fault him though.

Such a nice guy

love Lee Evans

The one and only Lee Evans, incomparable good!

I love Lee Evans he's the most funniest comedian ever he's a legend wish he could come back for one night only or do a TV show Lee you are my favourite I loved all ur shows I'll definitely go buy your book

I met Lee when i worked at Heathrow lovely guy! Had a nice chat with him. He ALWAYS reminds me as a young Norman Wisdom! SO SAD Lee retired he was the BEST out there! The so called 'stand ups' these days are rubbish!

If Lee evens isn't Norman wisdoms love child then we as a proud nation have been lied to

Ross didn't even know how to handle him. Evans is a God.

love that man. what a beautiful personality. ///lee///

I can absolutely relate to his nervousness around people. I found out he has the same birthday which is 25th February and being a Pisces, we are basically very shy and have low self esteem. It's his way of seeking approval from people.

Unsung British hero tbbhhhh

The funniest comedian to walk this earth. perhaps some of our woke comedians could learn a lesson or two.

Seen him in Dublin, was so funny how he ripped the piss out of the place and our accent

He is the ultimate British comedian.

2020 _ I so need that book :)

I want him to come back and guest on Doctor Who. I loved him as Malcolm Taylor and I think he would be hilarious with 13.

This man is a british national treasure!

Lee Evans please come to Canada 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Reminds me of a funky Jeremy Kyle 😂😂😂 Brilliant

Funniest man that ever hit the stage.

Lee has me dieing everytime

Norman Wisdom (when i was kid ) but so much funnier 😁The story of ''it's not my wife '' 🤣🤣''Without my wife i'm not me '' ❤️What a thing to say 😢Bless him

Johnathan has got lee sat on hay 🤔🤣🤣

He still looks like he's in his 30s

His actions remind me so much of Norman Wisdom.

Fs I thought this was new and he was on tour :(

Top guy Lee Evans.

he was amazing back in the day.

I have had the pleasure of meeting lee 4 times I don't want to sound gay he's such a lovely bloke

It's amazing watching so much Graham Norton how different the style of Wossy is

Norman Wisdom.

I want to see a movie with peter Kay and lee Evans as laurel and hardy I think these two would be great at these two comedy legends

1:10 it’s like he is in Mission Impossible only he fucked up hahaha

Jonathan’s hair is exceptionally bad in this interview. Lee the world needs you just now!!!!

Why is the chair made of hay ffs 😂

We need Lee in this fucked up PC world.

Reminds me of Frank Spencer 😂

do you know what this scene reminds me of the joker where he shoots murray

They tried to steal your car in South Wales??? How embarrassing, that's where I'm from 😂

Mr Grimsdale ! Mr Grimsdale......

Looks like Proctor off Police Academy

Not a lot of people know this, but Lee Evans and Bruce Lee were brothers. Lee Evans went onto become a boxer early on, and Bruce Lee competed at karate. A little known fact! Bruce Lee's surname was actually Evans. (he dropped the Evans when he became famous). Bruce Lee Evan's dad, (Bob Lee Evans) was actually a coal miner in China. The only Welsh born coal miner in the whole country. As such he became a massive celebrity. So famous that he had to fight his way through the crowds of fans at the end of each shift, leaving the mine tunnel. They made him sing a Max Boyce songs, and threw daffodils at him. (I know this because I WAS THERE!) And this lead to him opening his own flower shop, importing DAFFODILS from Wales. He called it 'Dafodills R Us'. He ran the shop during the day, and went down the mines at night. What a work ethic he had. As hard as coal, so he was. Soooooo, when young Bruce was about 5 yrs old, he took him on as his body guard. (The fame thing was getting out of hand with crowds increasing in size daily) And that's where his martial arts career started. Young Bruce did that for about 10 yrs. And as a kid would quite often find himself fighting off 20 or 30 adults at the same time, (sound familiar? Yep that's where his movie scenes ideas came from). He did this so's his dad could rush by and get home for his 10 minute nap before opening the shop each morning. Bob gave himself a lie in on a Sunday when he slept for half an hour. In the end, many years later, tragedy struck the family, when young Bruce overslept one morning for his protection duties. Poor Bob, leaving the mine after his usual night shift, suddenly realised he was on his own. His 14 Yr old son was no where to be seen. Without his sons protection, Bob tried to make a dash for Rick Shaw (his drivers name) but the crowd got him. Lifted him high up on their shoulders (about 4 ft) and carried him away. And they didn't stop. He was such a huge star, they carried him all around the whole country, cheering as they went. (And you know how big China is? Massive) In their enthusiasm and rabid passion no one thought to stop. At all. So he was passed on from one crowd group to another as they entered each provence. Bob actually invented crowd surfing. Because he tried to escape that way several times. But became exhausted. And gave up. (the crowds were quite often 6 miles deep). He eventually passed away from starvation around 1961. Legend has it his skeletal remains are still being carried around China to this very day. Boneman Bob he's known as. The longest tour in history Of course Bruce was devistated. And lived with that guilt til the day he died. He left home with his pet cat, Rover, and walked to Hong Kong where he became a star. The really sad thing about this story, is that Lee Evans never knew the truth. That he was given up for adoption at birth. And that his real dad was actually a dead mining superstar being carried around China, and that Bruce Lee was his in fact his brother. He never knew. Heart braking. No winners. Only losers. Even with all that money and fame. I heard that Lee Evans found out the truth in 2014, and it crushed him. He immediately retired from comedy. Sad but all true folks.

Is this recent, Johnathan looks good man, can't believe his age

Lee just took Ross’s show it’s now called lee Evans’s show now

Wait Lee is back? Somebody hold my beer.

Needs to be in more films, can't understand why he isn't cast. Funny as f*ck!

I thought he'd retired so glad he didn't

Tommy Cooper mixed with Norman Wisdom = Lee Evans

He's kind of a mix of Jerry Lewis, Tim Conway, and Jim Carrey.

Defo... you would think his normal wisdom's son...or grandson

So many adverts

I want to see Joe Swash play Lee in a Biopic!

. Norman Wisdom

What year was this

Never thought either of these two have ever been funny Surprised they’ve lasted this long

9 years old! Old content

1:03 1:19 😆😆😆

Everyone this is from 2011. It’s not a recent interview. He has aged ok and he retired in 2014 so no he’s not back.

Lol
