Lee Evans Announces 50 Date Arena Tour

The legendary comic Lee Evans  has announced details of his most ambitious tour to date. ‘Roadrunner’ is Lee’s new show, with 50 nights in the biggest arenas in the country.  

The 'Roadrunner' tour will see Lee take in the length and breadth of the country across four months in 2011. 

Lee’s manic energy, uncanny observations, hilarious delivery and side-splitting material have made his live performances a must-see for comedy fans worldwide. His tours and DVD releases year-on-year continue to smash sales and box office records.  From 2002 to 2008 alone he has performed to well-over a million people through his three live arena shows (‘Wired & Wonderful’ - 2002, ‘XL’ - 2005, ‘Big’ 2008), not to mention the millions of fans he has entertained from the comfort of their own living room with his massive selling stand-up DVD releases.

In 2008 Lee’s previous 59 date arena tour, ‘Big’ saw him sell out his first show at London's 02 Arena in just 60 minutes, making it the UK’s biggest solo live comedy gig ever at that time.  This broke his own previous record from 2005 at the MEN arena where he played to over 10,000 people. The subsequent DVD release for ‘Big – Live At the 02’ broke all previous stand-up DVD sales records when it sold a staggering 259,399 during its first week and became the biggest week one release for a non film DVD of all time – a record it still holds today.
