This British comedy anthology consisted of four short plays, each written by and starring Lee Evans in the zany tradition of Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean. The playlets placed Evans in a variety of universally recognizable situations, enabling him to gracefully (?) segue into visual and verbal slapstick. The first episode, telecast June 2, 1995, consisted of two 15-minute sketches: "The Late Shift" and "Meet the Folks." The remaining installments of The World of Lee Evans were made up of three half-hour plays: "Off the Rails," "One Late Night," and "Mr. Confidence."
