I've been a huge fan of this guy for so many years and he's about to start a new world tour and guess where he's doing his very first warm up gig! Yes! Right here in my home town of Colchester! I'm going to see him tomorrow!! Woooooooooooooooooo!!

Matt is very happy *grins*

Why is it the official websites are often not that great and then you stumble across fan sites that are a lot better...

That's a better site it seems. Well. It's okay.

I have two friends who think he's a riot and quote him non stop.  I've seen some of his standup.  He makes me laugh.

Is that a friends quote? Or am I having some strange deja vu thing (although it really isn't deja vu).

...anyway..

Yes. I'm an Eddie Izzard fan. Ever since you got me into his stuff 8) Hmmm I wonder if he'll be near me anytime soon.

I saw him! I saw him! He was there and he said funny stuff!!!!!!

*calms down*

That was so damn cool. Was only a small venue.. about 300 tickets in total. It was very casual as well. Towards the end he was just getting us to shout questions .. was so damn funny. I haven't laughed that much in ages. My face aches lol.

We weren't allowed to take pictures and he didn't meet anyone at the end but they had a video camera set up so maybe I'll be able to buy the tape.. that would be cool.

*calms down some more*

What a damn funny guy. I think I'm going to be grinning for months .. I saw him liiiiiive!!! =)

 -- Matt

P.S. I don't think that was a friends quote, no. An accidental one maybe =)

Ironically enough a co-worker was just taking about him at work today...

definitely sounds like my kind of humor... glad you saw him Matt.. I will definitely have to check him out...

I think i would love to hear his bout about the elemnt of "surprise" in the military... :)

Hehe. That's what I love about him .. he's got something funny to say about everything .. he's just a naturally funny guy. Funnily enough, when people were shouting things out, someone (for some reason) shouted out "Weapons of mass destruction" and he responded with "Yes, always have some of them about your person just in case. Why not eh? Don't mess with me.. got weapons of mass destruction in me back pocket".

But.. yesh.. I think it's Glorious you need to watch. Can't remember now, but it's the one where he's in black with quite a bit of makeup lol .. he's going on about how transvestites should be in the military and have their own division because they could make the most of the element of surprise haha.. no one would be expecting the 21st Transvestite Brigade, wearing fantastic makeup lol.

Anyway. I'll stop. It's the kind of thing you have to see. People will be reading this and wondering what the hell I'm talking about =)

He's done loads of stuff. Made loads of appearances on tv shows. Years ago, Channel 4 gave him something like four hours to do what he wanted and they called it Channel Izzard hehe.. was quite bizarre and very funny.

He's been doing standup for years.. must be something like 10 years or more. He's also an actor and has been in quite a number of films.

LOL

He's a transvestite, which can make things interesting. Often lots of makeup going on. At the gig he was wearing all normal clothes but with high heels and fake breasts as well, which he talked about a lot lol .. was so funny. They were Uma Thurman's stunt breasts that she gave him when they worked on The Avengers together =)
