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.

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.

Cake or death?

I never seen him do stand up, but he does a damned good job on his new tv show "The Riches"

"Death please. I MEAN CAKE!" I think Eddie Izzard is hilarious. Love Dressed to Kill. "Do you have a flag...?" |
"What exactly is an evil giraffe? 'I will eat all the leaves off this tree. I have got up early to eat all the leaves off this tree; and then when other giraffes get up, there will be no leaves. And they will DIE! A ha ha ha. I have hidden berries under a rock. There will be no berries. And then some animals will DIE.'"

Color me jealous. I think the guy is one of the best comedians I've seen in a long time.

He absolutely kills me.
I'd love to see him live. |
Damn, I didn't know he was coming to town and it is sold out. Crap!
Dress to Kill just had me rolling on the floor, he was so damn fugly in that dress that I almost didn't watch it. morphius taking over ChiefsPlanet with the clever use of flags |
For some reason the legos make this one funnier.

GAWD DAMMIT! First Flight of the Conchords, now Eddie Izzard. I've wanted to see both of them live, but have missed the announcement when they've come to town until they were already sold out.
Eddie Izzard will be playing literally within around 200 feet of where I am right now, and I won't get to go unless I fork out a few hundred to buy tix from a scalper. :sulk: |

....Ohh, the President of Burundi (sp?) you say? That's right near Tanzania...Well I have to go 'cause...ehh, uhmmm...my grandmothers on fire.
And....It's no so much of a maneuver yet, more like a gesture. Dressed to Kill is one of the best stand ups ever. So fricken funny ...And for those of you that don't speak French, that was ****ing hilarious. |

That, and what kind of balls and inventiveness do you have to have to do a segment in French for an English speaking audience? |

Flight of the Conchords came to KC? What?!?!?!!?!? |

I never laughed so hard when he talked about Neil Armstrong rehearsing what he'd say the minute he step foot on the moon.
What he said had to be poetic and historical. He couldn't just say "umm...its...rather sticky" |
