The last outing marked the first time Lee had been seen in public, with the exception of last year’s race, for some time.
The comedian briefly came out of retirement in 2018 to appear in Pinter Three while appearing in Wither Would You Go? last year.
Also in 2017, he walked the red carpet at the Kenny Premiere in Liverpool, but that’s when he was in the spotlight.
Lee confirmed his retirement from stand-up comedy during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2014.
On the show, he told Jonathan that the death of his manager, Addison Cresswell, “set the record straight.”
‘I don’t know,’ he said, ‘I’ve come to a crossroads in my life where – please forgive me, it sounds so narcissistic – I’ve done musicals and plays and movies and I’ve done and will get to a bit where you go I don’t know what to do next.
He added: ‘I want to go and see my wife, she deserves my time, I’ve been working hard.’
Ross asked how long he planned to continue his job, to which he replied, “I am talented. that’s it…
‘Been completed. this is the end. I do nothing.’
Lee continued, “All I did was work and Addison would always put his arm around me and say, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you. decent “…
My dad would always tell me, ‘You have to work’ so I was constantly working out and doing comedy tours.
“I think I’ve ignored my madam for too long, and I want to spend more time with her.”
According to The Richest, Lee’s net worth is around £5.6 million.
His tours regularly break records, with his big tour in 2008 seeing the star perform for over 500,000 people on 59 dates. The tour’s DVD sold 1 million copies.
