Due to phenomenal demand, the stand-up comic added a fourth and final date to the Sheffield leg of his tour, making him the first ever comedian to perform four shows at the Arena.

Lee will also be appearing for four dates at Londons prestigious O2 Arena in early October, and is guaranteed to enter the record books for hosting the biggest ever live comic gig with a total of 300,000 tickets available.

His manic energy, hilarious delivery and side-splitting material have made Lee’s live performances a must-see for comedy fans around the world with more than a quarter of a million people seeing his sold out 2005 XL Tour.

The multi-talented comedian, who has also gained acclaim on both stage and screen, was nominated for an Olivier award for his performance as Leo Bloom in the hit stage musical The Producers and has starred in such Hollywood blockbusters as There's Something About Mary, The Mouse Hunt, The Fifth Element and the award-winning Funny Bones.

There are no age restrictions in place on this show, however the event promoter has stated that there will be strong language in use throughout the show and the decision to bring younger people to the show is down to the individual child's parent or guardian.

Tickets for all shows are priced £30 and can be purchased by visiting www.sheffieldarena.co.uk or by calling the box office on 0114 2565656.
