This tour was the hottest ticket in the US this summer, selling out across 34 cities. Now Eddie Izzard and his latest stand-up show Stripped returns to the West End for a 23-night run at The Lyric Theatre.
Having ditched the heels and the slap and gone back to basics, Izzard said about the show: 'The set is leaner, what I'm wearing is leaner and just focusing on what I'm talking about. I keep talking about God and I come to all these different conclusions. I'm talking about the whole civilisation, trying to strip that back, as well. The last 5,000 years we did everything. I put out my idea what we're doing here. I think it's all random. If there is a God, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan.'
So probably more nonsense, weird tangents and thinking out loud then. Great stuff!
