About this product

Product Information

Lee Evans is one of the best-loved comedians in the country; a Hollywood star able to sell out arenas in the blink of eye. But he was not always such a roaring success. The Life of Lee is an utterly hilarious and very moving autobiography charting his ups and downs on the way to the top. Lee takes us on a darkly humorous journey through his childhood spent running wild on a Bristol housing estate and his unconventional school days, when he was publicly derided as 'a failure' by a sadistic teacher. In this brilliantly entertaining and engaging tale, he also guides us through a grim teenage period of numerous dead-end jobs. When he was cleaning toilets and plucking turkeys, he could never have imagined that one day he would be playing to thousands of adoring fans at the O2 Arena. The book also reveals how as a boy Lee got his first taste of showbiz, living out of a suitcase and accompanying his entertainer father around the smoky, rowdy, unforgiving working-men's club and theatre circuit. Desperately struggling to be accepted, this quiet young loner always saw himself as an outsider. But he finally met the love of his life and accidentally discovered the one place where he felt at home: the stage. The Life of Lee is a story that is like its subject: compelling, touching, charming and, above all, fantastically funny.

  • More than you may expect although not his full career.

    This book only covers Lee's life upto his first appearance on stage. What there is is surprisingly well written and poignant - possibly exaggerated in places for effect but if these are his own words then he is a lot more "literate/educated" (despite his problems at school) than his stage persona may suggest. Although retired from public life he could be an ideal subject for "Who Do You Think You Are?" and could even make a good playwright/scriptwriter - this book could easily be dramatised for TV. Published in 2011, I'm surprised he hasn't already written an autobiographical sequel.
