			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s one thing you can guarantee about an Eddie Izzard gig&#8230; that there will be a wide selection of animals exclaiming about some issue affecting their lives, oh and a healthy dose of history. Guess what &#8211; he still delivers all that, and much more, but what&#8217;s missing is his usual choice of sparkly clothing. For some reason, Mr Izzard is now cutting a suave figure in jeans, white shirt and a long backed jacket for his Stripped tour in London. This shouldn&#8217;t come as such a surprise, since last time we saw him in Montreal he was wearing much the same, but tonight was a much, much better show. Tighter, more laughs, and more cute animals complaining about over-crowding on the ark.</p>
<p>Stripped is standard Eddie fare, ramblingly hilarious discursions on how the world can be put to rights, how cool iPhones are and how giraffes hide. What&#8217;s good to see is that after so long punting the LA stand-up scene, he seems very happy to be back on home ground. The jokes seem more relevant to a UK audience, although at times the American references passed most of the audience by. That said, the audience didn&#8217;t seem to mind &#8211; and that audience included random celebrity attendees Lenny Henry &amp; Dawn French.</p>
<p>So <i>another</i> big thanks to Mr Izzard for another splendid night, and to those of you who don&#8217;t have tickets &#8211; get your arses down to the returns queue like we did and keep your fingers crossed! It&#8217;s worth the wait.</p>
