I saw Eddie Izzard live last night
I drove down to Minneapolis and saw his new tour: "Stripped". It's the first comedy tour he's done in six years, so I figured this may be my only chance for awhile to see the guy live, especially if he's finding success with his acting.

Unbelievable. Simply incredible. For those of you who have seen his popular "Dress to Kill" on HBO or maybe other videos of him, do yourself a favor and see the man live. First time I watched him I was pounding my chair laughing. Live it's even better. The man doesn't stop, and his bits of physical/slapstick comedy are outrageous.

The "direction" he wanted to go in for this tour (though me may do completely new topics every night... I wouldn't know... he does completely new jokes every show I know that) was similar to Dress to Kill in that he was big into history. Did a lot of ancient civilization jokes with the Greeks and Romans, and went on various tangents onto other subjects including opera and bison/buffalo.

Anyway, yeah... in person there's just something awesome. I'm sure when I buy the DVD of this show it will be less funny than the other shows he's done before, but in person it was the most I've ever laughed at any comedian/play/movie... whatever. Well worth it.

And a recommendation for you Kansas Citians.... if you can, get tickets. He's doing his show in Kansas City at the Uptown Theatre on May 31st. I know that's really short notice, and the tickets might be sold out by now, but if you're looking for something to do on Saturday and you can get tickets, you'll love this guy.

Oh yeah... and this show around he dresses up like a man.

Eh...I didn't find his "Dress to Kill" special to be all that funny, but that's just me.

I think that "Dress to Kill" was undoubtedly the best and most challenging comedy performance that I've ever seen.

I like most of his stuff as well, and I've never enjoyed him as much since that one, but that one performance was just spot on perfect.

He played 2 shows here in Scottsdale last August. Some sort of 'limited engagement' or some such. Seemed like a 'warm up' show to an extent - like he was trying out new material. Really funny. I agree see him live.

I think Eddie Izzard is hilarious. Love Dressed to Kill.
