The shark continues to swim.
The crowd (of which my wife and I am a part) is in love with Eddie. He is a total star with the radiation of a ten thousand other lesser comics. He talks of things that matter- life, the universe & everything. Although his hip Euro aesthetic might appear controversial stateside, Eddie won't censor his opinions. Eddie is always charming, lovable, achieving all this with a soft, sweet bite. He is the transvestite atheist who you could take home to meet your (non-cross dressing, theist) family. He mocks absurdity, takes shots at apathy and makes us all question our preposterous beliefs. He makes his points with undeniable brilliance, and perhaps he can change the world a little. For the better.
He's also a billionaire, apparently. I mean, what are his overheads?

You've very nicely captured Mr Izzard's appeal so well done to you. And yes, the star wattage is like nothing else I've ever seen, which makes all the difference.
beautiful review of a show that everyone wanted more of! my only compaint is that he doesn't come around very often. but then again, what better way to stay on top.......keep people wanting more.
I was lucky enough to have seen Stripped recently and he certainly did glow, didn't he? Everyone in the room was just in love with him.
