- Lee was brought up on a council estate near the Bristol Docks and made his first gig at a Brighton pub memorable when he knocked himself out on a fire hydrant After leaving school he went through a series of dead-end jobs, including boxing which he gave up on because he was regularly getting hurt. He tried to follow in his father's footsteps as a holiday-camp entertainer but was regularly booed off the stage--until he found his niche in comedy, which led to the comedy films "Funny Bones" (1995), "Mousehunt" (1997), and "There's Something About Mary" (1998).- IMDb Mini Biography By: Tonyman 5

- Says that character 'Malcolm' often refered to in stand-up shows (the man who seems to always work in different jobs like outside McDonalds and as a trolley collector) was created based on a man he saw in a service station. He was a man cleaning the floor with a v-mop he describes the man as looking like 'a lobotomy patient wearing skis on a pebble beach at high tide'.
- I started doing physical comedy, because I was like a moving target. You know what British audiences are like - 'he's shit, kill him!' My upbringing taught me to keep moving.
- When asked for advice for younger comics: "Breathe! 'Cause if you're still breathing, you've still got a chance! That's the only advice I can offer because as for the rest... it's a nightmare!"
