The current international king of stand-up, British comedian Eddie Izzard will be delivering his unique brand of comedy during his current world tour Force Majeure. In Cape Town he will perform at the GrandWest Grand Arena on Tuesday 18 June.

His style of comedy has been described as a rambling, whimsical monologue and self-referential pantomime. What this means is that he talks a lot, sends himself up a lot, and uses naughty words a lot. The result? He will make you laugh a lot!

Izzard is heavily influenced by Spike Milligan and Monty Python, especially when he jumps between topics. He doesn’t generally work from a script, preferring ‘anything goes’ but the result is always the same, hilarious.

Eddie takes his comedy all over the world. His performance at New York’s famous Madison Square Garden in 2011 was sold out, and he spent three month’s performing in French while in Paris, and he holds the distinction of being the first stand-up comedian to host a solo show at the Hollywood Bowl.

The Force Majeure tour will take in 25 countries across Europe and North America, South Africa, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Nepal and the Far East. Outside of stand-up he has made several appearances on television and film, undertakes a fair amount of charity work, is a social activist and has run many marathons.

The show starts at 8pm and tickets are available from Computicket from R312 to R693.
