Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This 2005 doc captures Evans at peak arena-filling power, just before he stepped back from huge tours. The XL Tour was his biggest yet, and this remains rare footage of him unguarded.

Insight

Jupitus and Evans had genuine history from the alternative comedy circuit, making this less celebrity interview and more two survivors comparing war wounds.
