We just saw Eddie Izzard again and he's still fabulous. You'd think Madison Square Garden would be too big a venue for his brand of visual humor, but 555-inch television screens help. At this point he's done Wembley and MSG already, so he's running out of new big venues. But I'd be fine with some smaller venues as long as he does them more frequently. We've seen Eddie kind of a lot lately and that makes me happy. But I do miss the fantastic outfits and the amazing makeup of his older shows. This time (like last time) there no dresses, no skirts, no heels, no boobs.
We met up with some of our fellow Eddie-philes, Marsden and my mom, and pregamed at a local bar that happened to serve McSorley's ales (yum). Then we laughed ourselves silly for nearly three hours straight. The tickets for MSG were sorta steep (that only made me hesitate for like a micro second before I bought the tickets) and price wouldn't have deterred me from going, but it was gratifying to have a long and enjoyable show.
I am also now the proud owner of an Eddie Izzard "Cake or Death" shirt that actually fits. It was their biggest size and is still a little tight. At the Sexy show I bought a shirt with Eddie in his fabulous boots on a motor cycle, that once washed, was really inappropriate for any company at all and it too claimed to be an adult size large.
