Sharing Eddie
Joelle said at some point on July 28, 2008
I’ve been looking forward to this Friday for months and it’s finally almost here! I get to see Eddie Izzard! Eeeeeeeeeee! And with great seats, to boot! Let’s use more exclamation marks!!!!! OMGPONIES!
Originally, I’d gotten the tickets with Ross in mind, but when our vacation plans got shuffled, I had to think long and hard about who to take with me. This is no random night of random comedy — this is Eddie. I want to go with someone who loves him like I do, someone who “gets” the humor, who would really appreciate it.
It’s not that I don’t want to introduce Eddie to potentially new fans, but I don’t want to spend the evening worrying if the other party is enjoying it. I’ve been waiting years to see Eddie and I didn’t trade my first born for these seats to do anything but laugh until I cry and wonder where he got that lipstick.
I almost sold my extra ticket on Craigslist, but then I remembered that Mrs. Z is probably an Eddie fan, so a few texts and some squealing later, we’re going on Friday night. Hooray! I could use a night out, and I haven’t seen Mrs Z. since her bambino was born, so this should be a good time. She’s so much fun.
Though, I am going out with chickrawker tonight. She likes this place called Blue Lotus that I’ve been meaning to check out, so we’re having drinks there this evening before karaoke. Hopefully I can go the distance, I’m such an old lady these days. I better start going out more before I start talking to my fish and Tivo’ing episodes of Ghost Whisperer. Not that I’d do that… or uh, anything.

I am jealous in every way possible it is to be jealous. I so wanted to get tickets to see him ANYWHERE but I had a helluva time getting my vacation approved and it just wasn’t meant to be.
Brush up on your latin. I’m just sayin.

The husband and I went to see Eddie on July 23 and it was AWESOME, an incredible show. I love that man.

He’s TOURING?!?#!$?>
*faints!* omg, just checked the web and he was in NYC last month WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?!?!?!?!
I’m going to go cry now.
Love Eddie, but you’re right, I’d want to take the right person with me too. I hate when I invite someone somewhere and I spend the whole worrying if the person is enjoying him/herself. He’s in L.A the week a friend is in town and I’m not sure if she’d go for it. ugh. Just figures. Not that there’s tickets, I bet. Not this late into it. bummer.
I love Eddie Izzard!! I have causght a few of his shows on BBC, and laughed my ass off.
I just wished that he didn’t ditch the drag! Ugh!

@Raven: did he ditch it? I’d not heard that. He’s never really been *drag*, per se. More ‘Executive Transvestite’, as he says. hehe!
Raven and Jo, yes, he’s not cross-dressing on this tour.
However, you must also remember that he’s in a television series now (which he briefly pimps in his act--very briefly and amusingly) so they probably require him to keep the facial hair, etc.
Plus, the whole theme of this tour is “Stripped.” Thusly, stripped of his make-up, his fancy-pants ladies clothing, etc.
He’s still hot as McFuck.
You totally TiVo Ghost Whisperer. Admit it. ADMIT IT!!!
