Stripped (Eddie Izzard)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stripped is the title of a stand-up comedy tour by Eddie Izzard, and is a continuation of the British comedian's typical style of comedy, full of "stream-of-conscious banter and predilection for nonsensical detours and frequent tangents."[1] The tour will be performed from April 28  – August 9, 2008, with three "warm-up" dates.[2] It is being called "not only hilarious but quite remarkable."[3] As for the name of the tour, Izzard says he called it Stripped because

"The heels got too high on the last two tours. Now I've just gone back to blokey mode, so I've got all this movement back which I couldn't do before. The set is leaner, what I'm wearing is leaner and just focusing on what I'm talking about. I keep talking about God and I come to all these different conclusions. I'm talking about the whole civilization, trying strip that back, as well. The last 5,000 years we did everything. I put out my idea what we're doing here. I think it's all random. If there is a God, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan."[4]
