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 grace the stage of the capitals London O2 Arena.

He said: Im really keen to get back out on tour again and go all around the country. You get such a buzz from the live audience, the reactions are just so immediate and totally spur you on theres nothing else quite like it.

Being the first comedian to play at the O2 Arena will be amazing, Im so excited to be able to perform there its a big space to fill but I love a challenge!
