Default Eddie Izzard in Atlanta

I'm not sure if any people out here are Eddie Izzard fans, but ever since I lived in the UK (to go to Uni) and my friends introduced me to Eddie I've been a huge fan. He's by far my favorite stand-up comedian ever!

So today my husband and I received a phone call from a friend informing us Eddie would be in Atlanta for signing and Q&A at Tower on Friday the 19th. My jaw nearly dropped! My husband and I almost planned our honeymoon to SanFran last year around his Sexie tour. He never came anywhere near Atlanta, which we were so dissapointed about. But now he's coming! Even if not for stand-up...but nontheless, I get to meet him in person, yay!

So for any people living in Atlanta that like Eddie...he'll be in town!

The guy is amazing. He was on Leno a couple days ago. Very funny.

Thanks for the info. My wife and I are fans and will probably go as we're only 3 hours away.

Cool.

Yes, I saw him on there. And he'll be on Conan on Tuesday, yippy! I'll have to stay up past my bedtime for that one.

Atlanta appears to be his last stop on the signing tour, but before Atlanta he'll also be in the following cities in case anyone is near them:

Monday Nov. 15 at 7:00pm
Virgin Megastore – Union Square, NEW YORK

Thursday Nov. 18 at 7:00pm
Borders – Downtown Square, BOSTON

Oh, and here is the rest of the Atlanta info:

Friday Nov. 19 at 8:00pm
Tower Records, ATLANTA

Eddie Izzard is a BLAST! He is such a good stand-up comic. His one man show (saw it on TV in Chicago) was so funny. I hope he comes to the East coast soon, around DC area would be so cool!

I'm a big Eddie fan (not seen him live sadly ) but what is he promoting on this side of the pond?

A DVD release?

He'd most welcome at the local drag bingo night I go too in Durham, NC!

Sorry, I've never even heard of "Eddie Izzard". It'll probably stay that way.

Thanks for the info. We made it to NY for a sight seeing tour that just happened to coincide with the Sexie tour so may have to see what we can arrange.

Also...have you guys seen that amazon are doing an Eddie Izzard package......you get Glorious, Definite Article and Unrepeatable, all for under $40 !!!

Yeah but that's because you're a twat...
You have to be the longest surviving troll on any forum mate, you've been here for as long as I have and that's been over two years.

Yeah, it's for 3 DVD releases actually: Unrepeatable, Definite Article, and Glorious...which is I guess why Amazon is doing a package deal for the three (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...s=dvd&n=507846).

This is what it says on the Tower website:

Q&A and signing with Eddie Izzard at Tower Records Atlanta! - 11/19/2004 08:00 PM

Tower Atlanta (3232 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA )

Emmy award winning comedian and actor Eddie Izzard is making a rare North American stop at Tower Records in Atlanta to celebrate the release of his three new DVDs. Glorious was recorded in 1997 during his sold-out appearance at the Hammersmith Odeon, and is joined by Unrepeatable and Definite Article, both available on November 9th for the first time in North America. A veteran of the stage (London's West End, Broadway), the small screen (BBC, HBO) and the big screen (Shadow of the Vampire, Velvet Goldmine and the upcoming Ocean's Twelve), Eddie has won numerous awards, including two Emmy's and two British Comedy Awards. Tower Records is very please to present Eddie Izzard to his fans for a very special Question and Answer session, followed by an autograph session for his new DVD releases.



I wonder when "Sexie" is coming out in the US? I saw online that they already started selling it in the UK a year ago!

Or it could be that I simply don't watch as much TV as others on this forum. The fact is that I'm not familar with this "Eddie Izzard" person. No offence meant, he may indeed be quite funny. But since I have little free time on my hands, I shall likely never find out.

Jabba1:

You say you don't have much time on your hands yet you write inflamatory posts on BE.

I guess you're one of those Americans who doesn't have an open mind and won't even consider investigating Eddie Izzard...

Your loss.

If you know nothing off him, then why comment on a thread that discusses his appearance in Atlanta? Sounds like you're wasting your time regardless.

My posts are not meant to be "inflamatory", rather they are meant to be humorous. I shall attempt to catch up with one Eddie Izzard if at all possible.
