Okay, so Ive been distracted up until this point so Im late on writing the blog. Should've started about an hour ago. I had to upload pictures from last nite and then chat with the asst. about stuff. yay.
OKAY OKAY! SO EDDIE!! It was fantabulous. The second we walked into the gorgeous little venue we could feel the excitement and anticipation of the crowd. Our seats were no less than amazing as we sat 10 rows from the low stage. I felt I could have touched him with a....39 and half foot pooooole! I was so thrilled that I eventually took to just staring straight ahead at the opening look...as seen here: (note, most pictures you will see here today had a problem with focusing due to the heads in my way. Camera chose to focus on them instead of the stage)
So at about 759 the row in front of us started to fill in and we found out who we would be spending the evening surrounded by. Two of them were british models who at first I gave a kind of uuugh glance to but as the performance went on, I kind of enjoyed their heads. They seemed to be having a fantastic time...but I digress...
At about 8:10 the opening started. Extremely loud and sexie music pounded in our ears, the audience screamed and applauded as if a rockstar was about to hit the stage, the lights swung everywhere (I think I counted 15 moving lights! YOWZERS!{im a dork}) and then there he was. Eddie Izzard. Nothing could prepare me for the surge of excitement (that probably started in the nether regions, muuah) that ran through me when I saw him....
He started off the evening discussing his brand new boobs. He strutted around in a red corset, navy blue pleated mini skirt, knee high boots and a fabulous light blue jacket. He also sported diamonds in his ears and of course, fabulous make-up. Did you know he's starting his own make-up line? My brother informed me of this on the train ride there...(as we discoverd on the train.....)
So he started off the show at a semi slow pace which I decided was brilliant because I was in awe of him being right there in front of me so how could I possibly listen to what the pretty face was saying? And of course I assumed the entire audience was feeling the same way.
So the boy, and the guy who sat next to him. I definitely have to mention that. Out of every comic audience there has to be on "laugher" but how is it that WE ALWAYS end up next to said person? I mean, he wasn't just near us, he was directly to the boys left. And im not saying a laugher like oh they wont shut up. Im saying, TAKE A FUCKING BREATH MAN!!!! One of those eeeeeeeee laughs where they're obviously not breathing and then when they finally do, it's like a freaking hyena. I mean it was to the point where I almost turned to his friends and said "Would you please switch seats with this man! You know him and must be used to it, we don't and are about to kill him." Thankfully he didn't laugh all that much. I assume he must be slightly aware of his disability.
Right, so the show. I'm not going to sit here and tell you every joke cause that's just lame and you can wait for the cd. Instead, I'll move on.
Intermission...lasted approximately 20 minutes and the lobby was hustling and bustling with Eddie excitement. The brother and I stepped out for some fresh air and watched some weirdos drink their beers on the steps. We discussed the 1st act starting a little slow and then ending with a huge bang (something about seeing eye dogs and the ones that fail their test) and how we thought that was great cause we were too busy staring at him in the begining, or was that just me. But anyhow, when we returned to our seats and waited, I glanced around the room. Still filled with the same energry but now we were all sort of Eddie pros so it was kinda blase. You know.."oh yeah, im at Eddie, no biggy. We're close friends and Ive been hanging out with him for like an hour."
So enter Eddie for Act 2:
Isnt he beautiful? I must say that I loved the fact that he put on a new costume for the next half of the show. So he picked right up at the stripper library and off we went for another hour and a half of Eddie.
I'm not sure what else to tell you and this has already gotten ridiculously long. I had the most excellent time and my love for him has only grown. I shall leave you with a couple more pictures.
