Eddie Izzard
Oct. 9th, 2003 04:44 pmEddie Izzard on Tuesday was an absolute blast.
I headed into the city in the afternoon and met PreZ at his work, where we waited for the other members of the contingent to arrive. Kit arrived shortly after, Cherie was stuck in traffic with Keith and Katie, so we headed out to grab a bite to eat while we waited, as we weren't sure they'd make it in time to eat with us, and we were all hungry. They actually managed to join us shortly after our order was put in, so the timing wasn't too bad.
A quick meal and then we walked a few blocks to the City Center where Eddie would be performing. We arrived just on time, as the sounds that signalled the imminent start of the show were already beeping as we made our way into the venue.
The show was brilliant. Eddie looked glorious in his outfit, which was a black sequined skirt split all the way up to the hip with something that looked like a bustier on top, also black, with a cream coloured tailored jacket on top, and a pair of knee-high stiletto boots. The bustier, with breasts, was also a recurring physical gag during his show, which was hilarious.
Another memorable segment of the show is about neanderthals... hilarious. I am so looking forward to this show appearing on cd and/or dvd. I wish I could say more, but stand-up comedy doesn't sound that interesting when recited in a blog. I enjoyed SEXiE more than Circle though, it just struck me as a better routine, even though both are very funny.
