Bandit Breaks Back In!

Bandit the racoon, who went missing from DrusillasPark three weeks ago, has found her own way back to the zoo in East Sussex. Clearly life on the other side of the fence was not all it was cracked up to be and Bandit returned of her own accord, in an incredible turn of events that almost beggars belief.

The furry fugitive was discovered back with the family group by zoo keeper Katherine Gibson during the routine evening check. A quick scan of her microchip confirmed that Bandit had returned; she appears in good health and seems pleased to be reunited with her fellow outlaws.

Bandit absconded from her enclosure on Friday 26 April, together with her sister. Turpin was found a week later in the Go Wild! adventure play area by two school girls visiting the Park. However, despite daily checks by the keepers Bandit remained at large until now.

Head Keeper, Mark Kenward commented: “When Katherine first radioed me I couldn’t quite believe it. I dropped everything I was doing to rush to see for myself. It’s been a very distressing time with huge concerns for her welfare; we have been looking for her both day and night to no avail.”

“We’ve always been very proud of the standards we have at the Park and are so pleased she came back on her own as it proves she is happy here. We have made adjustments to the enclosure to prevent a similar situation occurring in the future. Clearly the grass wasn’t greener on the other side!”

Lee Evans ‘Monsters’ at the Brighton Centre

‘WIRED AND WONDERFUL’ was huge…‘XL’ was big…‘BIG’ was even bigger…‘ROADRUNNER’ was record breaking… and now the legendary Lee Evans embarks on his most ambitious tour to date. ‘MONSTERS’ is Lee’s amazing new show with over 50 nights in the biggest arenas in the country. Lee will be playing to more fans than ever on this hotly anticipated tour of the UK and Ireland.

Lee’s manic energy, uncanny observations, hilarious delivery and side-splitting material have made his live performances a must-see for comedy fans worldwide. His tours and DVD releases year-on-year continue to smash sales and box office records.  From 2002 to 2011 alone he has performed to over 1,605,000 people through his four live arena shows (‘Wired & Wonderful’ – 2002, ‘XL’ – 2005, ‘Big’ 2008, ‘Roadrunner’ 2011).

In 2011 Lee embarked on a 67 arena date tour, which included a staggering six nights at both the O2 and Wembley Arenas, played to a sell-out 600,000 people across 16 arena stages throughout the UK and Ireland.  First day sales saw an amazing 227,424 tickets sold and firmly established Roadrunner as the fastest and biggest day one selling UK comedy tour of all time.

The release of Roadrunner in 2011 was groundbreaking as the first ever 3D stand-up comedy DVD.  His previous DVD release in 2008  ‘Big – Live At the 02’ broke all previous stand-up DVD sales records when it sold a staggering 259,399 during its first week and became the biggest week one release for a non film DVD of all time – a record it still holds today!

In September 2011 Lee’s autobiography The Life Of Lee was released becoming a number one bestseller and making the top 30 bestselling books of 2011.

Lee Evans has won many accolades in the comedy world including  ‘Special Contribution To Comedy’ Award at The British Comedy Awards 2011, the highly coveted ‘Perrier Award’ and the Time Out Award for Comedy. He has experienced huge success as an international film star in The Martins (2001), There’s Something About Mary (1998), The Fifth Element (1997), Mouse Hunt (1998) and Funny Bones (1995). In addition to his film work,  Lee has also appeared on BBC ONE in his own sitcom series Lee Evans- So What Now? and appeared in the 2009 Doctor Who Easter special (BBC ONE),  where he played an evil Welsh scientist, again to much critical acclaim.

During the past six years Lee has received rave reviews for his West-End theatre roles. These include; Samuel Beckett’s Endgame alongside the legendary Michael Gambon, Mel Brooks’ musical The Producers with Nathan Lane plus the Harold Pinter play The Dumb Waiter, with Jason Isaacs, where he received the London Theatregoers’ Choice Award.
