Sexie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sexie is the name of the 2003 tour by Eddie Izzard. The tour covered Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

Topics covered on this tour include transvestitism, aeroplanes, superheroes, Greek mythology, the planet Mars, the emergency sevices, sharks, human evolution, dentists, firemen, horses, and the "Baguetti Western" Blueberry in which he starred as a German cowboy. As an encore, Eddie does his most recent "bad impression"; Christopher Walken.

The show was released on VHS cassette and DVD in November 2003 (a month before the end of the tour). This performance was recorded in Eastbourne, England (Where his grandfather and father were born and where he went to school) at the start of the tour. By the end of the tour, however, the show was significantly different. This is common in Eddie's performances as they evolve over the course of the tour due to his constant ad-libbing as he refines and expands his material. The surreal idea of flies 'irritating' buzzing being replaced by Gregorian Monk chants was a topic that was never on the released recording. It is a common held belief of fans that witnessed the later shows in the tour that the DVD does not give it justice.

The BBFC gives Sexie a '15' rating.
