Miming Reality – Comedian Lee Evans
Comedian Lee Evans was a scion of a comedian himself, Dave Evans. The younger Evans grew up touring in clubs and shore-ends in his father's gigs. He remembers sitting at the back of the car or backstage, with his brother, talking to dancers while his father was doing stand-up comedy. Lee Evans found it hard to adjust in school as he frequently transferred wherever his father performed.
Born in February 25, 1964, in Avonmouth, Bristol, England, comedian Lee Evans is known as a stand-up actor both in Britain and broad. Although growing up with a comedian father, Lee Evans started out as a boxer but quit when he was 21. After his boxing stint and a couple years in an art school in Essex, Lee started touring and made appearances in men's clubs, after which, he spent the next five years doing stand-up comedy in the vaudeville.
Comedian Lee Evans married when he was only 17 to Heather Evans back in 1981, and had a daughter names Molly (who was born in 1994).
Comedian Lee Evans' first break was in 1988 when he did a stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Lee is popular for his stunt acts of falling over, frivolous laughter, and sweating. He's now acclaimed as the Norman Wisdom of the 90's. He flew back to Britain to receive the Perrier Comedy award in 1993. Another trademark comedian Lee Evans is known for is his "The Lee Evans Trio". In the show, he performs a mime act of playing music on a bare stage and a spotlight. Then the spotlight is momentarily turned off. In this brief moment, Lee moves to another location on the stage and mimes again. This act is done three times, representing three distinct characters, with drums, bass, and piano as background music.
Aside from miming, comedian Lee Evans is likewise fond of performing music skits. Among his famous acts of this type is his visual performance of the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by the Queen. Lee mimes out every lyric to the song as it is played in the background.
Lee has starred in many television shows and movies side by side with one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Among his biggest movies were Funny Bones with Jack Parker (in 1995), The Fifth Element (1997), Mousehunt (1997), There's Something About Mary with Cameron Diaz (1998), The Martins (2001), and Highbinders (2002).
