Lee Evans, one of Britain’s best-loved stars of stage, screen and stand-up is once again poised to enter the record books with the UK’s biggest ever live comedy gig, returning to Plymouth Pavilions on Friday 29 & Saturday 30 August for 2 hilarious shows.

With a total of 300,000 tickets available, ‘Lee Evans - Big - UK Tour 2008’ will not only be Evans’ largest tour to date, but will make history by including the first comedy gig to grace the stage of the capital’s London O2 Arena.

Lee Evans said: “I’m really keen to get back out on tour again and go all around the country. You get such a buzz from the live audience, the reactions are just so immediate and totally spur you on - there’s nothing else quite like it. Being the first comedian to play at the O2 Arena will be amazing, I’m so excited to be able to perform there, it’s a big space to fill but I love a challenge!” 

Evans broke the Guinness World Record for a solo act performing to the biggest comedy audience at the Manchester Evening News Arena in 2005 when he played to a crowd of 10,108. However, he’s set to smash his own record by almost doubling that total in just two nights at the O2 Arena in London.
