The legendary Lee Evans is embarking on his most ambitious tour to date. Roadrunner’ is Lee’s amazing new show with an exhausting 50 nights in the biggest arenas in the country - including 5 dates at the BIC Windsor Hall in Bournemouth!

Lee’s manic energy, uncanny observations, hilarious delivery and side-splitting material have made his live performances a must-see for comedy fans worldwide.

From 2002 to 2008 alone he has performed to well-over a million people through his three live arena shows (‘Wired & Wonderful’ - 2002, ‘XL’ - 2005, ‘Big’ 2008), not to mention the millions of fans he has entertained from the comfort of their own living room with his massive selling stand-up DVD releases.

In 2008 Lee’s previous 59 date arena tour, ‘Big’ saw him sell out his first show at London's 02 Arena in just 60 minutes, making it the UK’s biggest solo live comedy gig ever at that time. This broke his own previous record from 2005 at the MEN arena where he played to over 10,000 people.
