I have been a fan of Lee since I saw Different Planet Tour about 8 years ago. And I always await his shows with baited breath.
I do like this XL tour but it is certainly not his best work. He does look to be grasping at straws occasionally, perhaps trying out new material as he suggests. But this should not be the case for a DVD.
Having said this there are still some hilarious moments that have stuck in my head. Certain sections had me in absolute stitches, but unfortunately these moments of utter hilarity were fewer and further between than they have been in Different Planet Tour and Live in Scotland.
This is still a very funny performance and worth a watch, but if you are a long time Lee Evans fan you may be slightly disappointed.
