Eddie Izzard is great. I've watched and enjoyed Eddie perform for decades. Seen Eddie live twice. Eddie was always best at stand up when feeding off the crowd. I got a reply out of Eddie at a show in Washington DC. I was the only one in DC to get a reply out Eddie's opening joke "Well done, America.... Thank you" Unfortunately, like DC, this London crowd was also a bit stiff. Eddie can get trapped in a self referential rabbit hole. The crowd interaction helps Eddie focus on both the rehearsed bit and where the crowd reaction takes the act and still bring it back to the rehearsed but with a Geoff and a smirk. Still love Eddie. Look forward to seeing Eddie live again ASAP.
