Is he the sweaty one?

Biggins

Occasionally - not all the time.
Poll fails unfortunately. Not enough options.

kfallon

He is as funny as cancer!

KnifeWRENCH

He is the exact opposite of funny. Unfunny, you may say.....

dvpower

Sweaty unfunny idiot.

(I don't like Lee Evans either)

EverEvolving

I've been to funnier funerals than one of his stand up shows.

Plug

'Look at me I'm a drugs mule'


Ah I don't think he's that funny, I'd prefer Frankie Boyle. The man is comical, who remembers his joke on little Harvey?:D

biko

No

I like some stuff but he's ott with all the sweating and falling over etc.
But hey if you're into slapstick humour..

AH->Stand up.

chin_grin

I admire his energy on stage, but his jokes are just sh*t. It's all observational crap.

Like Stewart Lee said "I'm not like those sort of comedians.............I haven't noticed anything funny about your lives................They're not of interest to me."

MagicMarker

No

Honestly, he's one of the best comedians I've see live.

azezil

Tries too hard and the buckets of sweat is off puting.

pappyodaniel

He has ADHD, so he is not funny. You're not supposed to laugh at mental people.

take everything

I'll give him this.
He and Matt Dillon made There's something about Mary.
That bull**** architecture conversation between them will always be funny.

And i think go a bit overboard with the hate when describing his standup.

MiloYossarian

Yes


Or From another perspective

No

Hope that was helpful.

christinadublin

I can't stand watching him because of how much he sweats.

WalterMitty

never found him funny. more a populist comedic entertainer than a stand up.

I-Shot-Jr

Maybe if he was set on fire.

Ironman76

No

I like him. Always makes me laugh. Certainly more than Mike McIntyre.

Deregos

He stole his idiotic stance & small suit from the late Norman wisdom then added a pinch of swearing for some credibility = Comedy Genius . .:rolleyes:

pragmatic1

Dont think hes funny at all. Hes a middle of the road stand up.

Catsmokinpot

It's not just me who thinks he's a useless comedian then..

condra

Too novel for me. No subtlety. He's all mouth and nose like something from The Bible.

jnkoh89vy01uqt

Before seeing this I thought it was just me that didnt get his humour....hes on telly all the time!!Dont find him one bit funny

Duddy

STOP MOVING SO MUCH!
:mad:

Tauriel

No

I think he had two shows in Cork Opera House over the weekend

shanered

Hate turning on comedy while scrolling threw channels on telly and it turns out to be him. One of the only comedians I don't even like a little.

BlueBaron

Dont love his standup, but he was brilliant in There's Something About Mary

charlemont

No.

Lee Snowflake

No

He's the funniest man alive. I went to his first gig in The Black Box Theatre last week and I had tears rolling down my face from laughing so much. And my stomach was sore the next day too. And he gave me his towel. :cool:

stargazer 68

I love stand up and watch everyone - apart from him!! Cant abide him

No

He makes me laugh hilarious!

I on the other hand dont like Bill Hicks

Folester27

No

The man is hilarious..i've never enjoyed watching a comedian before as much as i enjoy watching him. I like Frankie Boyle, McIntyre can be funny too but Lee is just the king..

Thor

No

One of my favourite comedians i have ever seen live.

While most people don't consider him the best, He doesn't cross many lines with his stand up. Mainly a few sexist jokes here and there, But normally very clean humor which is extremely hard for a stand up.

Skinback

Lee Evans is a truly awesome talent but currently he's being exposed to us on telly every night which tires me out and i'm a major fan.
Evans is a very special talent but he's only human and is'nt on top of his game every single night....who could beHe did a gig in Dublin last year and referred to notes all the way through his show.
I'd have been insulted only he has to warm to his material somewhere....anyway....he was still great.

Chuck Stone

No

I think he's funny myself.

Tauriel

No

I've seen all of his DVDs. I think he is one of the best comedians out there

du Maurier

Every post I read from those that like him I keep scrolling down further in the post for an aside where you severely berate the sweaty clown and don't really mean what you initially wrote - sadly, that hasn't happened yet:(

DamienOB

weird noised and faces is NOT funny

When they add to the excitement of the joke, they are.

Voted no on this. He is brilliant in Something About Mary. Not big into his stand up shows at all.

r3nu4l

As has been said, he has taken Norman Wisdom's act and added swearing.

It's unoriginal, unnecessary and unfunny imo.

Don't get me wrong, I love slapstick but his just isn't funny, he overmilks the slapstick.

Devastator

No

I like him.

Got all his DVDs, but couldn't watch them too often...suppose the same as any standup show

prettyinpink

Nope don't like him I have tried to give him a chance but the excessive sweating does turn me off.

larchielads

wasnt a big fan either but went to see him in cork opera house recently my jaws are still sore...........from laughing :pac: no seriously though my opinion has changed, funny fecker

nkay1985

I just don't understand how anyone finds him the slightest bit funny. I honestly can't understand the appeal.

James T Kirk

About as funny as a hammer to the balls, and he's totally ripped off Norman Wisdom. Who was also about as funny as a hammer to the balls.

He must have a very good agent, because he's never off the telly.

Was good in Mousetrap though.

kippy

No

He makes me laugh a lot, so yes, to me he is funny.

James T Kirk

Fair enough, humour is subjective.

Unfortunately :pac:

jemser

Very sweaty,a bit funny

Cravez

No

At first, didn't like him, watched his older stuff first. Never particularly found his older stuff funny. But from watching his newer stuff I then found him very hilarious & understood the type of humour he does, then watching his older stuff became funny too.

Humour is very subjective as well, some comedians that alot of people find funny, I don't. All I know is that Lee Evans makes me laugh. His humour is very visual, his body does more than the actual talking, almost slapstick like but some of his jokes can sometimes be the same every show.
