Just got back from seeing Eddie Izzard, and I'm still chuckling inwardly. What a great show! Beautiful old theatre, nice stage set-up, and Eddie looking very manly wearing a goatee and a gorgeous black swallowtail coat with burgundy red lining - I just wanted to lick that thing, it looked so delightful!
He said he was going to talk about everything, and he did - dinosaur poetry, jazz chickens with trumpets tied to their beaks, intelligent design, with which he had two problems: the "intelligent" part and the "design" part, the greatness of Wikipedia which was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Wikipedia, and how having a Macintosh makes you sexy. And he even pulled his iPhone out of his back pocket and demonstrated his light saber app.
And he kept quoting a Roman messenger seeking clarification, "Quod the fuck?" I'm not doing it justice, obviously - if I could, I would be up on stage myself. I'm just here to tell you it was great, and you're missing out.
* Why did I pick this line from George Michael's "Freedom 90" for the title? It was playing during intermission, and is still playing in my head.
