Surrealist Master Eddie Izzard - My Kind Of Comedy Genius

In few other circumstances would an audience find itself being asked to follow the logic of a story that unites The Bible and The Hobbit or a Cat Burgling Dressage Horse!!!
In an Eddie Izzard show, this is entirely normal comic territory.
And it’s a literature mash up that, by the close of his latest Force Majeure show, gets a whole lot more complicated with everyone from Cleopatra to Darth Vader taking a much needed tea break in the Death Star Canteen, God and Izzard’s long standing imaginary friend 'Steve'.

It has always been Eddie’s repertoire on stage to bumble his way into a surrealist grand finale that gathers together the crazy characters that occupy the show’s entire gag reel and for me the weirder the better, like his genius with Trouser Mountain..."The musical" and singing the lines delivered by Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman in Die Hard... "The Musical!"
"Give me my Detonators!!!" He sings low and menacingly. Then turns to himself as Bruce... "Yippee Ki Yay Mother F*****" Brilliant!!!

 Izzard’s comic skill has never really had anything to do with timing; instead he relies on a childlike charm that transports us all back to the experience of telling fantastical half truths in the playground.
His latest show is loosely based on the gods and monsters.Both, argues Izzard, being ludicrous.

His whimsical delivery has always been his tool and as a physical comic, he’s still the master especially when he’s pretending to be an unfit lion, a dressage performing horse, or a destructive kraken left me crying with laughter.
