Thanks to Roland Rivron for the introduction!
 
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 UKs biggest ever live comedy gig.
 
With a total of 300,000 tickets available, 'Lee Evans - Big - UK Tour 2008' will be not only Evans largest tour to date but will make history by including the first comedy gig to take place on the stage of the London O2 Arena.
 
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.
 
When tickets to 'Lee Evans - Big - UK Tour 2008' go on sale to the public on Friday 26th Oct at 10am, the 20,000 capacity London O2 Arena looks set to break that record.  Go to www.offthekerb.co.uk for a full list of dates.
Xanthe asked Lee if he ever listened to Phoenix FM?  He admitted that he rarely has the time to, however, his 'missus', the lovely Heather, does listen while up to her elbows in flour - baking!!!
