Lee's early life was marked by humble beginnings, growing up on a council estate situated near the bustling Bristol Docks. His first foray into the world of entertainment was a memorable gig at a Brighton pub, where he suffered a particularly embarrassing and painful mishap involving a fire hydrant, resulting in a rather abrupt departure from the stage.
Following his departure from formal education, Lee embarked on a series of unfulfilling and uninspiring jobs, including a stint as a boxer, which ultimately proved to be a short-lived endeavor due to the excessive amount of physical harm he sustained. Undeterred, Lee attempted to follow in his father's footsteps by pursuing a career as a holiday-camp entertainer, but his performances were met with widespread disapproval, with the audience frequently expressing their displeasure through loud boos. However, it was during this period of struggle that Lee discovered his true calling in the world of comedy, a discovery that would ultimately lead to his involvement in several notable comedy films, including "Funny Bones" (1995),"Mousehunt" (1997),and "There's Something About Mary" (1998).
