SQUEE! Eddie Izzard!!!
Dec. 7th, 2009 01:58 amSo, today was an all around fantastic day. Spent the surprisingly sunny afternoon going around Kennington with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cienna, exploring these little art and craft studios converted from old warehouses. Wandered among them, viewing the artworks and munching on the snacks and cakes (and mulled wine, at that one place) they all had laid out. Very pleasant.
Following that, we meandered our way back to her place, and watched a few more eps of B5 (bahahaha, found anothervictim fangirl to subject to my crazy love for it share it with! ^_____^) then it was off to Wembley Arena to see Eddie Izzard's latest show, Stripped!
I've been a fan of his work for years (have large chunks of his routines memorized! ^_-) and thus was ecstatic to get the chance to see him live! I had known he was coming to London, but hadn't realized it was this weekend only, until just yesterday. And, while most of the regular ticket sellers listed the show as sold out, trusty old ebay not only came through with tickets, but for less than half the regular price! W00t! And the seats were quite good, at that!
Loved the show! Not quite up there with my two favorites, 'Glorious' and 'Dressed to Kill', but utterly and thoroughly fantastic none the less, had several laugh-so-hard-it's-painful moments, and nothing beats the energy of a live performance and an enthusiastic audience! If I get the chance someday, I'll totally go see him again. He just brings the energy and the laughs (not to mention the crazy! ^_-)
