Eddie izzard is bringing his new show stripped to birmingham's nia on tuesday 17 and wednesday 18 november this year.
Izzard recently broke box office records selling out a 5 week residency in London's West End in less than 48 hours. STRIPPED which came hot on the heels of his American sell-out tour across 34 US cities - including 3 nights at New York's legendary Radio City Music Hall - was indisputably the hottest tix of 2008 on both sides of The Atlantic.
Now Izzard, 'the man who turned talking bo**cks into an art form' has announced he will tour the UK with STRIPPED. This will be Eddie's first UK tour in six years.
Tickets are priced at £30 plus booking and transaction fees.
This show is recommended for 15 at parent's discretion. Show will contain strong and imaginative language.

Eddie @ DAR

As someone who has come to LOVE Eddie's work via Netflix DVDs, BBC America and YouTube I couldn't wait to finally see him live. However, I walked away last night a bit underwhelmed. The acoustics at DAR Constitution Hall lost several of his punchlines (to the point even one guy yelled out could you hold the mic closer the acoustics suck!).
That wasn't Eddie's fault but I did feel he didn't bring his A game last night. I felt like some of his material was just recycled from previous shows. They were just slightly altered. I was expecting a show of completely new material.

With that said I would still pay to see him again. I laughed quite a bit when I could hear (bad venue) and enjoy his take on things. I wouldn't say my feelings of underwhelmedness (is that a word) was due to Eddie but more the venue and sound system. Eddie is one of my favorites and I loved seeing the crowd embrace him and give him standing ovations when he came in and when he left.

Mostly Hilarious

Honestly, I've been a little disappointed with Eddie Izzard since "Dress to Kill". That still ranks as probably the best stand up act I've ever seen, but his work since then hasn't been nearly as good.
