Impressionist comedian Ian Jones will be bringing his Lee Evans tribute show to Rutherglen this October.<\/p>\n

The show is part of a seven-date tour of Scotland, organised by Aberdeen-based promoters Breakneck Comedy, which starts in Banff on Tuesday, September 30, and ends in Carnoustie on Saturday, October 4.<\/p>\n

Widely regarded as one of UK\u2019s most sought-after impressionist comedians, Jones perfectly captures his comedy hero Lee Evans\u2019 moves, mannerism and trademark slapstick style in a unique tribute to the beloved comedian.<\/p>\n

Jones blends his own original material with material in the style of Lee Evans and delivers it all in Lee\u2019s unforgettable style, making his show more than just a simple tribute act but a fresh and unique homage to his comedy hero.<\/p>\n

Breakneck Comedy founder Naz Hussain, says \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be working with Ian on this tour. Like him I\u2019m a huge fan of Lee Evans, and I honestly believe that seeing Ian\u2019s show is the next best thing to seeing the man himself. His respect and admiration for Lee shines through, and his ability to capture Lee\u2019s style and energy, combined with his own original material, make his shows fresh, fun, and exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naz explains that he believes comedy tours don\u2019t have to be confined to big towns and venues, adding: \u201cAt Breakneck Comedy we\u2019re all about bringing big names to smaller places, so as well as cities such as Dundee, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, we make sure that our schedules include smaller towns and venues, that don\u2019t normally get included in tours. For us it\u2019s all about bringing comedy to as many people as possible and finding new venues and spaces that we can bring the laughter to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catch the show on Thursday, October 2, at 7pm in the Kings Park Hotel, Rutherglen.<\/p>\n
