Lee discovered a real talent: he reacted quickly, came up with interesting jokes, and stood freely in front of the public. People loved Evans' humor: light, ambiguous, absolutely devoid of vulgarity. In addition, the actor knew how to keep the audience, the audience did not get bored at his performances.
