Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Rob Wright For many years i've been a huge fan of Lee Evans and his live stand up routines but this had me sorely disappointed. For one his humour feels forced and the "Jokes" are trodden, beaten down fantasies of what inanimate objects would say and do. Combine this with his over ecstatic facial expressions and movements to make up a sorry excuse for a joke. There is absolutely no variety in his routine at all. Most attempts are about animals, the earlier mentioned inanimate objects and how he cant understand technology, but he jumps from one bit to another and doesn't let us go along with the journey of a well told joke. I feel like he is a shadow of the man that gave us the XL tour back in 2005 which is still considered by me and many others as one of the best stand ups ever. I'm sorry to say but his impending stand up retirement is probably for the best but I will always remember the younger, funnier Lee Evans.
Nigel Robinson Lee Evans became one of the world's biggest comedians, and for good reason. Lee Evan's tours have been extremely successful because they are crazy, energetic, and most importantly, hilarious. The Roadrunner tour being another example of this, but Monsters feels tired.Monsters feels like Evans is running out of humour to deliver to his audience, there are some really funny moments, but they are few and far between, not as frequent as previous tours.Evans is as energetic as usual, and the formula of the comedy is unchanged, but there's less humour and more talk, less hysterics and more casual laughing, everything feels more topical at the expense of a lot of the humour.The Monsters tour is less impressive than most of Evan's previous tours, the Big, XL, and Roadrunner tours we're much funnier, and kept my interest for a lot longer, but because it still features classic Lee Evans, it's still worth trying out, but if you're expecting humour on the level of Big, XL or Roadrunner, Monsters will leave you disappointed.
jwikstro Hate to echo the negative, but the vulgarities, combined with the facial contortions and a certain insensitivity, made me quickly stop the video proceedings. If you like this sort of thing, OK, but I prefer a world that doesn't encourage it. On the other hand, Lee Evans is great in his Dr. Who & Big Fat Quiz spots and such...hilarious...just keep him away from himself! His stand-up persona, in general, is a love it or the opposite type of affair for the viewer. He should stay away from certain social issues that I was surprised to hear him trod upon. Apparently, this is what sells, so he "goes there". Having announced his imminent stand-up retirement, this comes as good news for those of us who prefer the kinder, gentler Lee Evans...Lee Evans the stand-up is dead, long live Lee Evans!
Ole Sandbaek Joergensen He talks like crazy, it seems like somebody put Duracell batteries in him and he just keeps on going and going and ... He gets them switched out in the halftime, and then he gets on and on again, I think he said something funny every minute and he is just like a fountain on stage, especially with jokes, but it must be very hot walking back and forth doing various impressions, because this guy sweats like someone on holiday somewhere really warm :)He is a good performer and really has a good repertoire of funny voices, weird characters and strange incidents, he mixes it all up with stuff that seems to be made up a long the way, depending on how the audience reacts. It is very entertaining.
