Lee Evans

Due to unprecedented phenomenal demand Lee Evans’ series of BIG UK tour dates is set to get even bigger with the announcement of a fifth show at The NIA in Birmingham. The popular comic is now set to perform for Birmingham audiences from Thursday 9 – Sunday 12 October and new date Friday 17 October.

With a total of 300,000 tickets available, 'Lee Evans - Big - UK Tour 2008' will be Evans’ largest tour to date. Lee said: ‘It has been two years since my last stand up tour and I can’t wait to hit the road again.' The star of stage, screen and stand-up is once again poised to enter the GWR record books by staging the UK’s biggest ever live comedy gig as part of this forthcoming UK tour.

Lee’s manic energy, hilarious delivery and side-splitting material have made his live performances a must-see for comedy fans around the world with more than a quarter of a million people seeing his sold out 2005 XL Tour which included four dates at The NIA.

The multi-talented comedian has also gained acclaim on both stage and screen, was nominated for an Olivier award for his performance as Leo Bloom in the hit stage musical The Producers and has starred in Hollywood blockbusters There’s Something About Mary, MouseHunt, The Fifth Element and the award-winning Funny Bones.

Tickets for the new date are priced £30.00 plus booking and transaction fee and go on sale at 10am on Friday 4 April. Tickets can be purchased on-line at {www.theticketfactory.com} (www.theticketfactory.com) or 0871 945 6000.
