Evans

Review: Simon Evans, Leicester Square Theatre

Simon Evans is 60. He states this fact at the start of his set, and it provides the foundation for the themes and most of the jokes that ensue, as well as a handy marker for the average age of his audience (and I am no outlier). The set begins with a string of references to 1970s comedians – Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howerd, Leonard Rossiter as Rigsby (to whom Evans acknowledges his uncanny resemblance) – as Evans develops his thesis that the 59 Club is the light entertainment equivalent of rock’s 27 Club.
