Summary
Lee Evans is one of the best-loved comedians in the country; a Hollywood star able to sell out arenas in the blink of eye. But he was not always such a roaring success. Read unabridged by the man himself, the audiobook edition of The Life of Lee is an utterly hilarious and very moving autobiography, charting his ups and downs on the way to the top. Lee takes us on a darkly humorous journey through his childhood spent running wild on a Bristol housing estate and his unconventional school days, when he was publicly derided as 'a failure' by a sadistic teacher.
In this brilliantly entertaining and engaging tale, he also guides us through a grim teenage period of numerous dead-end jobs. When he was cleaning toilets and plucking turkeys, he could never have imagined that one day he would be playing to thousands of adoring fans at the O2 Arena. The reading also reveals how as a boy Lee got his first taste of showbiz, living out of a suitcase and accompanying his entertainer father around the smoky, rowdy, unforgiving working-men's club and theatre circuit. Desperately struggling to be accepted, this quiet young loner always saw himself as an outsider. But he finally met the love of his life and accidentally discovered the one place where he felt at home: the stage. The Life of Lee is a story that is like its subject: compelling, touching, charming and, above all, fantastically funny.

Lee's life story
This book tells lee's life story up until his success where it ends. The story of his upbringing is a lot more shocking than expected. If you love lee, there's no reason why you wouldn't enjoy this

My favorite Evans
I've never listened to a book that can make you laugh so hard just like watching one of Lee Evans live shows and yet brake your heart five minutes later. I couldn't stop listening great performance and story. You can not expect less from the legendary Lee Evans.

Well worth the listen
A very interesting life you have Lee Evans. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Made even better the fact Lee did narrate himself.
