Lee Evans: Wired and Wonderful - Live at Wembley

Of all the comedians I have watched, I had to go see this one.

I was there when Mr Evans performed this 2 hour show live in front of thousands of people at London's Wembley Arena. I paid a lot of money for my tickets (being in the very front row) and I can honestly say, it was worth every single penny paid.

The guy is a lunatic! His facial expressions can be matched by no-one... His jokes are extremely funny and his interpretation of some of lifes simplest things will have you rolling around on the floor in fits of laughter.

Had I not been sat with a barrier literally 10 cm in front of me, I would have probably been on the floor myself.

Anybody that likes stand up comedy, I recommed this title!

This is not one of his best live performances but it is still absolutely fantastic. Anyone who doesn't think this show is good or funny then they do not have a sense of humour. This DVD is worth watching if you like laughing A LOT and if you enjoy watching live performances If you have watched the rest of the lee Evans live then i recommend this DVD... Ifyou haven't watched any other lee Evans live before then i still recommend it. Lee Evans is one of the best comedians around and he is my personal favorite. I have all his live dvds and enjoyed every single one. Wired and Wonderful however isn't his strongest so if you have never watched Lee Evans before then i suggest you watch another of his DVDs first... ENJOY YOUR VIEWING :-) xx

I had seen Lee Evans in a couple of movies, and also on a few chat shows. I bought this DVD on the basis of that, and viewers' comments on a number of internet sites. Evans is a manic performer, but was slow too start - this show apparently featured "new" material, but contained many "old" jokes. Obviously he can do no wrong in some people's eyes, but the interjection of "f*ck" or "f*cking" every few seconds actually detracts from the overall performance. Having said that, there are some wonderful moments, and astute observations on the human condition. He is a surprisingly good singer, and the appearance of his father at the end is a touching moment (though the musical segment goes on too long)

For all you may recognize Lee Evans from films such as Mouse Hunt and There's Something About Mary, it's truly a shame that this man is little known outside of Europe (for now at least). Then again, maybe the American entertainment industry isn't ready to appreciate this treasured talent. Lee Evans--without a doubt the most energetic physical comedian I've ever seen in my life--is a whirling dervish, a man capable of performing at a frenetic pace that would cripple most human beings. I found myself exhausted just laughing at him. This show was filmed live at Wembley Stadium, and Evans is the first comedian ever to perform solo at the arena. With only a fifteen-minute intermission, he explodes two hours of fresh new material to an eager audience of thousands. His stand-up is phenomenal and visually captivating, almost too fast to keep up with. This rubber-faced comedian is outrageous in his manner and crude in his speech, but hardly irritating. (Think a young, more animated Robin Williams without the drugs or annoying roller-coaster rants.) This show also includes a fantastically funny interpretation of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." If you enjoy Lee Evans' work, you might also check out Funny Bones co-starring Oliver Platt.

Lee Evans. Remember him? He retired some years back but his name is still known for being a good stand-up comedian in his day. Perhaps he got out while the going was good. Maybe he'll do 'Mousehunt 2' one day...

He just wasn't very funny for me, Sorry to say but his appeal is rather lost on me. He's like a modern Norman Wisdom in many ways in terms of his manic physicality, which is a good thing.

He also lacks any real charm, has material that was being used by Noah on the ark, and I'm afraid here looks like he thinks he's God's gift to comedy.

He also falls in to that very easy trap of thinking that by throwing the 'F' word into his act every two seconds it will somehow elevate his material and make it funnier.

It does not. This was a hard watch.
