message: This line is interesting: "in 1981, at age 17, he married Heather Evans, with whom he has a daughter, Mollie, born in 1994, and a dog, Brian". Seems to imply that his wife gave birth to a dog??? 82.46.18.154 (talk) 12:11, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interesting line 

message: I went to see him last night, and he said he'd been married to his wife for 24 years. This makes sense as 3 years ago at the XL Tour he said he'd been married to her for 21 years. So I'm seriously doubting his age as being 44 if he married his wife at 17, he'd be about 41 wouldn't he?
Unless he didn't marry his wife at 17, but he did say they married very young.

replies: text: This would require a reliable source. At present the one we have says Avonmouth, so that's what we must go with. Please feel free to find a better one. --Rodhullandemu 16:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I think we are probably overdoing the sweatiness.  Even if Evans' problems with sweat are as bad as presented here, he probably isn't as unusual among performers of his type. --TS 09:35, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You'd think so, but go see one of his performances on youtube and you'd see that the man sweats profusely during every show.(216.36.153.161 (talk) 14:34, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Sweatiness

message: Just as once it was rare to hear the name Kenneth Branagh without a reference to Laurence Olivier, the association between Evans and Norman Wisdom has become a cliche.   I've googled on this and the only mention of Wisdom I can find by Evans himself is in a 2004 interview in the Daily Telegraph where Evans denies Wisdom as an influence.  I've altered our article accordingly. --TS 09:35, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Norman Wisdom]]

message: I can't help but find amazing similarities in their mannerisms.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find this comparison anywhere on the net.
Does anybody have any reference about this being stated by someone other than myself?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guy... (talk • contribs) 17:45, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  KKK? 

message: As per WP:BRD, I've edited the subject's nationality from Welsh to British. The subject's location of birth and residence are given as places in England. The article nowhere refers to Wales. I see from above that some editors have said Evans refers in his act to being Welsh, but for his biographical article here to assert that there needs to be some evidence. I have edited to British rather than English simply because the former (plus NI) is a soverign nationality. I have no objection to it being English but I have edited to respect the possibility that he is indeed Welsh: Whether he is or not, though, he is certainly British.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmentalist (talk • contribs) 09:18, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

message: I've reverted/edited years active, which had been altered to note that the subject is preasently active. The article explicitly says that Evans retired in 2014 then came briefly out of retirement for a single event in 2017. It is inconsistent to therefore assert that he is active today. Of course, many actors do nothing at all for some years then do a movie and are not considered inactive over that intervening period. But this article specifically asserts that Evans retired, and Evans himself has said this. If the article is to be changed to say he is not retired, then all the relevant parts of the article need to be edited - along with a rationale so other editors can, if they wish, give or withold consensus.
