Eddie Izzard - Stripped at Lyric from 17 Nov 2008

Eddie Izzard - Stripped, will open at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Ave on 20 Nov 2008, following previews from 17 Nov 2008, initially booking to 12 Dec 2008.

The show has recently had a US tour across 34 cities.

As for the name of the tour, Izzard told Newsweek that he called it Stripped because 'The heels got too high on the last two tours. Now I've just gone back to blokey mode, so I've got all this movement back which I couldn't do before. The set is leaner, what I'm wearing is leaner and just focusing on what I'm talking about. I keep talking about God and I come to all these different conclusions. I'm talking about the whole civilization, trying to strip that back, as well. The last 5,000 years we did everything. I put out my idea what we're doing here. I think it's all random. If there is a God, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan.'
