Eddie Izzard: Stripped August 5, 2008

Comedian and actor Eddie Izzard, adored by fans and critics alike for his lightening quick wit and surreal humor is back with a new one man show fittingly titled 'Stripped.' Critics have described Izzard as everything from the "funniest man in pretty much all of the known universe," to "a human search engine," to "a surrealist maestro of historical and scientific trivia', and "a one-man Monty Python crew." Izzard won acclaim in the U.S. with his first one man show, 'Dress to Kill' which debuted on HBO and won two Emmy Awards. His last record breaking tour, 'Sexie,' sold-out 15 cities, including week-long stints in New York and Los Angeles. In between tours, Izzard has earned rave reviews for his acting talent seen on television in the hit FX series, 'The Riches'; on the big screen in Steven Soderbergh's 'Oceans Thirteen'; and on Broadway, where he starred in the acclaimed revival of 'A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.' Izzard received a Tony nomination for "Best Leading Actor in a Play" for his performance.
