Izzard the Wizard

I want to let YOU know about something awesome.

You may have heard about it. Hell, you may have even seen it, if you were lucky. But rest assured, you would have laughed your ass off if you did.

Yup, it’s Eddie Izzard’s latest tour, “Stripped”.

Mr. Izzard was able to sell out three nights at Radio City Music Hall, which ain’t an easy feat (sorry, Sarah Brightman, but you suck). The comedic genius, famous for roles in The Riches, Shadow of the Vampire, Velvet Goldmine, The Cat’s Meow, and numerous of his own comedy specials, put on a two hour spectacular, all the while not taking a sip of water and not dressing like he does in the promo picture.

In fact, he was not wearing women’s clothing, which surprised me.

I recommend this show. Lots. You probably won’t be able to catch the tour, but if the DVD comes out (and I’m sure it will, given Mr. Izzard’s track record), snatch it up. I’ve always liked his shows and “Stripped” is a safe bet. Hellz yeah, I got to see Eddie Izzard! Top of the world, ma!
