He'd go down very well in some parts of Asia where the humour is very "obvious", slapstick kind of thing. You can stand in a Post Office queue in Singapore and watch people almost wet themselves laughing at Mr Bean. :confused:

I've no idea if Lee Evans has started swearing, I avoid him like the plague. He certainly sweats a lot.

That's a bad sign
