Lee Hurst (born 16th October 1963) is an English stand-up comedian. He is perhaps best known as a panellist on the comedy sports quiz They Think It's All Over, where he was a regular from 1995 to 1998.In 1999, Hurst was voted no. 48 in Company magazine's "100 Millennium Men" – tagged as a list of 'The Sexiest Men of the Century'.In 2003, he was considering standing as a candidate in the 2004 London mayoral election. One of the factors behind his decision was a proposed redevelopment, which would have seen his club demolished.After his comedy club, Lee Hurst's Backyard Comedy Club, closed in November 2007, it since reopened under the name The FymFygBar, with Hurst compèring most Saturday evenings. Lee Hurst also had a brief stint as the resident compère of Southend-on-Sea based 'Funny Bunnys Comedy Club.'The website chortle.co.uk reported in May 2010 that the club may be demolished and rebuilt as part of a new development proposed by Travelodge hotel chain. In April 2013, Lee Hurst opened the newly built Backyard Bar & Kitchen in its original position in Bethnal Green, with the new developments containing a permanent bar and kitchen as well as a 300-seat purpose-built comedy venue, as announced on backyardbar.co.ukHurst suffers from a severe form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, a condition which causes acute back and joint pain.
The thing about the Jimmy Savile thing, I wasn't involved in showbiz in the '80s, even I'd heard stuff and I was just Joe Public, and you think if it's gone out that far at that point surely it should have been investigated more thoroughly.
