Comedian Lee Mack has revealed he has never done a hometown show and doesn't have plans to do one in the future. The Not Going Out star has been in the comedy scene for over 30 years and is well known for being a panellist on Would I Lie to You and presenter ITV's quiz show The 1% Club . However, despite being in the business for most of his life, Lee admits he is still prone to nerves. In an interview with the ECHO , the 57-year-old shared he still relies on an old psychology trick to give him the confidence to get on stage and be his funny self. He revealed in order to shake his nerves he reminds himself he will never see anyone in the crowd again, so it doesn't entirely matter if one of his jokes flops. As much as this tactic helps reassure him as a performer , it also means Lee can never perform in his hometown of Southport. He said: "I've never done a gig in Southport and I never will. It just feels wrong for me to do that. It's just the nerves. It's too close to home. I know those people. "I always have a psychological trick when I go on stage, I'll never see these people again for as long as I live and then it gives you a bit of confidence. You can't say that if your Auntie Gladys is in." While Liverpool is the closest Lee has gotten to a hometown show, he revealed there have also been other instances where his psychological trick has been put to the test. He said: "I remember one year when my uncle and auntie came to see me. There was a piece of paper on stage as I walked out. "This wasn't my relatives, this was some random person, who had written a note saying, 'I just wanted you to know that I knew your grandad Joe when he was alive'. "It wasn't a heckle, it was just a nice friendly note letting me know that he knew my grandad. Of course, my family are at the back of the room and they're interested. It all became a bit like a family gathering rather than a gig." He also admitted there have been times at Liverpool shows where he recognises people from school at stage door or has been heckled with people saying: 'It's me, I used to sit next to you in chemistry'. The comedian is also a huge football fan and he has signed up for the annual Soccer Aid match for UNICEF this summer. This charity event has raised more than £106million for UNICEF since it started in 2006 and sees a combination of legendary footballers, like Wayne Rooney, face off with celebrities in hopes of raising money. Lee is an avid supporter of the charity event as he said: "It's raises an absolute fortune for UNICEF , which is brilliant. People don't get tired of it, which is great. The crowds are still coming and the money is getting better every year." Lee has been part of some of the most memorable moments in Soccer Aid history, as he scored the winning penalty in the 2022 edition of the game. He has also confirmed he won't be hanging up his boots anytime soon and hopes to be a part of the event for many years to come.
