Eddie Izzard

[expat]

Saw him live at Wembley Arena last night. My sides are still hurting. If you have he means and the time, you will not be disappointed. Giraffes doing charades to warn each other of a lion near by to velociraptors being pulled over by the police for driving at 45 mph in a 30 mph zone via Neil Armstrong being met by God as he stepped on the moon to a frog playing a tea chest double bass. Now excuse me, I have to check the bandages around my ribs 8-) 8-)

I love Eddie Izzard! I have most of his material on DVD.

Never seen him live but my brother saw him on stage in San Francisco.

"Sir!"
"Yes, Sebastion! What is it?"
"It's the British, sir! They're outside."
"Really! My god, man! Should we make tea?"

"I claim India for Britain!"
"You can't claim us. We live here. 500 million of us!"
"Do you have a flag?"

Hope your ribs feel better soon.

British comedians, especially Eddie Izzard, are a cut above.

I didn't realise he was so big (in a manner of speaking) in the US.

My intro to Freddie was on a visit to Scotland in the mid-nineties.

I live in the town on the south coast of England that Eddie Izzard grew up in, and he regularly tries out his new material in our local theatre, the De La Warr pavilion before he takes it on the road. We've seen him there a number of times in the last few years. He regularly comes back and supports local businesses and charities, and is a really nice bloke. My son served him in a local restaurant recently, and he was more than happy to spare time for chat, photographs and the like.

He used to do a routine about a shop near me, "Guns and banjoes". Observational humour indeed, the shop really does sell guns and guitars...
