No squirrels with guns, but lots of raptors at Eddie Izzard

So my abs were suitably worked last night at Eddie Izzard - the man is BRILLIANT! I can only hope that he returns to South Africa on a regular basis now.
The material was familiar in a sense that he touched on some classics & old favourites, but everything had a new approach & spin on it.
I attended the extra show that was slotted in at the last minute - all his Johannesburg shows were sold out.
Hopefully he'll realise that he has a wide audience in the country & return next year.

Eddie Izzard is coming to South Africa! - bring on the National Riffle Association

I have my ticket & I'm going dressed as a squirrel with a gun!
Ok, so I'm not going dressed as a raving mad, furry creature. But I am going to see him live & I can't wait.
Tickets are damn expensive (if you're earning Rands), so I'll be eating cans of baked beans and tinned tuna for the next 2 months. -cough cough-
But the money will be going to a good cause - Eddie's Eyeliner Fund.
Actually, it'll be going to Nelson Mandela's 46664 global HIV/AIDS awareness campaign.
Either way, I'm delighted at the prospect of seeing my favourite comedian live at the Johannesburg Civic Theatre. It's definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that you just can't miss.
