- Lee was brought up on a council estate near the Bristol Docks and had his first gig at a Brighton pub memorable when he knocked himself out on a fire hydrant. After leaving school, he went through a series of dead-end jobs, including boxing, which he gave up because he was regularly getting hurt. He tried to follow in his father's footsteps as a holiday-camp entertainer but was regularly booed off the stage until he found his niche in comedy. This led to the comedy films "Funny Bones" (1995), "Mousehunt" (1997), and "There's Something About Mary" (1998).
