The NY Times
“WHAT MAKES HIM UNIQUE? HE’S A COMIC GENIUS!
He’s irreverent, dirty, nonconformist, wicked and he’s fantastically, riotously funny!”
NY Post
“BEDAZZLYING, UNDENIABLY WONDERFUL & REMARKABLE! He’s charming and goofy, eliciting howls of laughter (from the audience while just standing there.”

Eddie’s stand up show STRIPPED completed a 34 city tour of the US in 2008 before breaking box office records with a UK, US and European Arena tour which culminated in Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, Jan 2010, making Eddie only the fourth comedian ever to play that venue. The same year Eddie performed a series of South African dates in support of Nelson Mandela’s 46664 Charity and debuted Stripped across Canada.

This behind-the-scenes exposé tracks Izzard’s stressful comeback tour and uncovers his best-loved material along the way.
“Izzard is much more than a stand-up comedian, his world is bursting with energy, sound, style, attitude and atmosphere. His performance is as thrilling as a roller coaster ride where you never know when the next death-defying turn to a new hilarious and deliriously funny new topic is going to come. IZZARD ROCKS!”
