Comedian Lee Hurst has had a varied life, a former cleaner, a van driver and labourer.
He became a comedian, did TV Warm Up work and then ended up on TV himself as one of the stars of the hit BBC comedy sports quiz They Think It’s All Over as well as numerous other TV shows. He then walked away from it all to open his own Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green in London’s East End.
He also went to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops (ours).
In 2011 he knocked his club down and built a 7-storey hotel reopening his comedy club on the ground floor. (Told you he’s had a varied life.)
Lee is now touring again with his new stand-up show: “No Particular Order”.
A night where the audience is invited to choose the running order of the show by picking cards displayed on the stage.
