UK Tour Announced

29 Jan 2009

EDDIE recently broke box office records selling out a five- week residency

in London's West End in less than forty- eight hours. STRIPPED which came

hot on the heels of his American sell-out tour across 34 US cities - including three nights at New York's legendary Radio City Music Hall - was indisputably the hottest tickets of 2008 on both sides of The Atlantic. Now Eddie, the man who turned talking bollocks into an art form has announced he will tour the UK with STRIPPED. This will be Eddie's first UK tour in six years. [http://www.eddieizzard.com/dates]

"Talking bollocks" is also known as a Bush presidency. I hope Eddie never stops talking bollocks but I'm rather delighted that the era of Bush Bollocks is officially over. Eddie, saw you in New York as you were warming up for the Radio City Music Hall show. Fabulous as always. Are "The Riches" returning? Absolutely loved you in it.

When is he coming back to the states???

29 Jan 2009 - 20:35 GMT

You can't have Eddie - he's ours again (for a while) and my sons are now officially old enough to go and see him. Although they've been unofficially watching him underage for some time...

We went to see in Eddie in the West End last November, OMG I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Can't wait to see him again in Cardiff this November.

That was such a great show! I saw Eddie one of the nights he was in Hollywood. I never laughed so hard in my life. Love him!

AHHHH COME BACK TO AUSTRALIA (mate) Its been about (something) years since you've been down here as well. I think Australia owes it to you to have you peform here once again. We've only got 3 states that are worth going to aswell ... so you can do a whole Australian tour over one weekend. ...............So, see you soon?

OMG! I just booked two tickets for Eddie Izzard in December at Wembley!!!!!!!! I cannot wait I love him to bits - I tried getting tickets in December for his 2008 run but couldn't. He is my absolute favourite stand up - I can't wait! I just had to share that... I've had such a rotten week this just makes up for it in bucketloads Sorry just had to share

I went to see Eddie in Aberdeen 13 years ago and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life I am soooo glad he's touring again, just bought 6 tickets for glasgow and I can't wait yahoo!!!

30 Jan 2009 - 10:46 GMT

OMG! OMG! I've just got front row tickets to see Eddie in Nottingham in October....that has sooo made my day. Only 263 days to go! ;)

30 Jan 2009 - 12:03 GMT

I saw Eddie's show in three different cities in the US, and now have tickets to see him in three different cities in the UK. C'mon, Eddie -- give me a reason to visit Australia!

30 Jan 2009 - 12:22 GMT

You will love this show!!! I saw him two nights in a row here in Pittsburgh, PA, front and center and my throat was hoarse for 3 days afterwards, from laughing so hard! I can't wait for him to return, whenever that might bee! Srvsbabe xo

I drove all the way from Toronto to Cleveland to see you in Stripped. I have to admit I was really pissed off by the time I got seated (long drive, fight with friend) and the guy who sat in front of me was about 6ft wide and had a huge sideways freaked out afro. The only way I could see the stage was by contorting myself into an angular pretzel. Within 5 min of you coming on stage, I was lauching my ass off and all was right with the world again. Thanks for that. When is this coming out on DVD?

30 Jan 2009 - 20:23 GMT

new uk tour... best eddie related news ever... please come to ireland!!!! he said it himself, "i spent the best 4 years of my life in northern ireland"

30 Jan 2009 - 23:10 GMT

Any dates in Belfast or in Dublin???? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 Jan 2009 - 23:12 GMT

Can't wait! just booked tix for the Dec 3rd show in London. It looks like he will have some make up on for the show -- it's funny, but I think he is far far sexier when he is cross dressed and has a bit of make up on. I saw him on stage in a play years ago -- he was amazing. Can't wait to see him live in stand up.

31 Jan 2009 - 00:34 GMT

So Eddie is going to Ireland (according to ticketmaster). So how about Australia huh?

31 Jan 2009 - 07:31 GMT

please bring Eddie to Singapore (which is not in China ... ) !

31 Jan 2009 - 09:23 GMT

My wonderful dad has booked tickets for 5 of us to see Eddie in Nottingham on 23rd OCtober! Cannot wait to see him again! Last time was in Sheffield for the Sexie tour, that was fab, I need more Eddie!

31 Jan 2009 - 10:35 GMT

Eddie, don't suppose you wanna add a second Cardiff date, do you?

Well, I've just checked the http://www.eddieizzard.com/dates section to see when Eddie dates ME :P. But seriously, I'm from Poland and normally I love my country, but today I really do HATE it - for I have no freaking chance to see Eddie on stage. Man, I'm gonna cry!!!

01 Feb 2009 - 19:31 GMT

I cannot believe I have just bought a 'Cake or Death?' mug from here, I must be slightly mental.... Looking at dates and wondering if I should buy two tickets to see Eddie in December. My husband may have to be dragged along with me though! Saw Eddie some time ago, nearly five years I think (where does life go sometimes??), so I think it is about time I saw him again. Glad to see he is back in Blighty, we have missed you ;-)

01 Feb 2009 - 19:54 GMT

Eddie I'm glade you came to the US and as much as I would love to back to London to see you I would have a better chance if you came back near the east coast you have alot of fans near Pittsburgh we hope to see you soon near there thanks for all the laughs

01 Feb 2009 - 23:50 GMT

I cant believe that ive bought tickets to see the funniest man in the world. I am so excited it untrue. i dont quite knoe where im sat. im going to the MEN, and am in BL F does that mean Im on the main floor bit, in block F? can anyone help? I cant wait!!!

02 Feb 2009 - 00:07 GMT

Please Eddie, another night in Cardiff! First saw you at T in the Park in the early 90's...said then: "This guy is going to be HUGE...an enourmous talent"....so HUGE, you've sold out Cardiff Arena in 24 hours...Bum!

02 Feb 2009 - 00:58 GMT

I saw it in London and I'm gonna see it again in Newcastle this year! Yay!! Love the show, it's amazing! Keep talking bollocks please :D

02 Feb 2009 - 13:24 GMT

Yes! I'm coming (all the way) from Finland with couple of my friends to FINALLY see Eddie live in London Decembr 5th. So thank you Ryanair for cheap flights. :D Didn't get the greatest seats though, but as long as I can see Eddie it's all good. <3

02 Feb 2009 - 15:10 GMT

OK, I just became a member of this site to say one thing: Eddie is the best and could you do a show in my country? I know it's small and new and looks like a chicken. But London or the U.K. are just a little bit far away for my money! Or do a show in Berlin in fall, when I am there! We can speak english and we have internet and we do know who you are and stuff ... So come over here! Oh, that's Slovenia... where you need to go! :D

02 Feb 2009 - 15:36 GMT

Dearest Eddy, Will you be visiting the Netherlands soon? Please announce - would be a drag to miss you. Last night we were watching circle and the french track - it is ART. Love & Respect Joshua

02 Feb 2009 - 19:22 GMT

Brilliant!!!! Can't wait to see him again in Belfast. It's been toooo long.

03 Feb 2009 - 15:15 GMT

Eddie pleeeeeeease come to Australia. We need your brilliance once again. We can do dinner ;)

04 Feb 2009 - 00:10 GMT

Great to see some stand up dates! Seems like years since I saw Eddie in Birmingham. However, speaking as someone living in Scotland, I can't help but be frustrated by the lack of Scottish dates! One night at the SECC??? That's a bit of a slap in the face when there's 2 nights in flipping Nottingham! Plus, why is Edinburgh always ignored? SECC is big, but it sucks. There's more to Scotland than Glasgow. Edinburgh is the capital, last time i checked. Would be absolutely awesome to perhaps see Eddie do a show at the Edinburgh festival?

04 Feb 2009 - 13:29 GMT

How and where do you get the fan club pre sale info or password for the dublin show!!! i need it for 2moro morning HELP!!!!

04 Feb 2009 - 20:10 GMT

05 Feb 2009 - 09:16 GMT

Bummer... we can't get to any of these venues as they're all flippin' midweek and miles away... anyone know if Eddie is planning any smaller gigs?

05 Feb 2009 - 12:13 GMT

saw Eddie on my anniversary on 2/12/2008, me and my wife had the best night ever. the seats were good too, but wished eddie had a big screen just to show his facial expressions while telling us his jokes. I have got tickets for O2 in December!! eddie please get a big screen so we can all see you!!!

05 Feb 2009 - 16:50 GMT

Come to Australia Last time i saw you live was in the UK. I have since moved to Australia, but dont want tomiss out on your shows. We need some good comedy here. Hope you can make it at some point soon
