Yay! I went to see Eddie Izzard last night and it was great! He's definitley back on form again.

No rants about Hitler or the Queen - and impressions were kept to a minimum. There was some stuff about the Bible, lots about animals, loads about people called Jeff and Steve but surprisingly little about jam.

"Mammoths are elephants in jackets..."

"All Greek myths were written by some guy with loads of time and a big bag of weed..."

"Sharks used to have ears, but evolution slid them right down their bodies and eventually off the end - onto the fish swimming behind."

"Horses: 'Let us up the pole pleeeease... We want to play canasta.'
Firemen: 'Nooo. You cannot play canasta. You do not have opposable thumbs.'
Horses: 'But koalas have two opposable thumbs and they're crap at cards. We've fashioned our own fingers from lollipop sticks. And we've stuck chewing gum on the ends so we can pick stuff up.'
Firemen: 'Oh Okaaay. Come on up then.'"


Hooray for Eddie Izzard! WTF for Eddie Izzard's breasts (just wrong) - And Boo to Claire and Matt and Big Neil, who all got paid to be there because they were selling programmes.

I adore Eddie Izzard. I love that skit he does about cats drilling behind the sofa and then hiding the dirt (to the tune from 'The Great Escape'). :)

He also seems to have a thing about opposable thumbs... :)

Me and Claire went too. I spotted so many people I knew there. Ex-work mates, uni guys, etc etc.

Eddie was cool. Don't get the breast thing but his choice. Kill the flies!!!
