Force Majeure World Tour

Force Majeure World Tour

01 May 2012

Force majeure (French, “superior force", "chance occurrence, unavoidable accident")

In 2011 EDDIE IZZARD, the man who turned talking ‘Bollocks’ into an art form performed and sold–out Madison Square Garden in New York. He spent a three-month residency at the Théâtre de Dix Heures in Paris performing STRIPPED: ‘Tout en Francais’ (in French!) and then became the first stand-up to play a solo show at Los Angeles’ legendary Hollywood Bowl. It was an extraordinary year from an extraordinary man. Never one to rest on his laurels IZZARD now plans to take on the world with a brand-new comedy tour, FORCE MAJEURE.

FORCE MAJEURE will be the most extensive comedy tour ever. It begins its mammoth journey around the globe during spring 2013. From Cardiff to Kathmandu, Moscow to Mumbai, EDDIE will visit 25 countries throughout Europe, USA, Africa, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Nepal and The Far East.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a show in Austin, Texas. I didn't find out about the last one until the day of (needless to say it had long been sold out). That's why I signed up for the mailing list and watch the tour dates with disturbing intensity.

03 May 2012 - 19:11 BST

What about Holland? Heineken Music Hall says Eddie has a gig on 19 and 20 April - but it's not on the gig list on this site. Also the ticket info is still unknown at the Heineken. Last concert we were totally ripped off by those card shark companies.Grrrr. Don't want to miss out on the real tickets this time - but where oh where do we buy? Have mailed the bee keepers twice already - but no answer. I guess they've fucked off to make honey or something. Pfff!!!!!! Also have to agree with Kinky Boots - alias V-NYC - been on the mailing list for donkeys - nuurrrthing about gigs! Worse than the Queen ;-)

21 Jun 2012 - 19:59 BST

Any chance of coming to the Isle of Man ??? Please :)
