Went to see Eddie Izzard's 'SEXIE' last night with Raja, and I must say it was FANTABULOUS. Of all the comedians I have seen, he would seem to me to be the most 'off-the-cuff'. For all I know his presentation could be tightly scripted and practiced, but watching him, you would never know it. Though at one point a large dust ball fell through his stoplight. He stopped, pointed, and said something along the lines of "FALL, YOU DUST!!!"
Eddie attacked us with his characteristic arsenal of historical humor and quick wit, all in drag. The show began with the typical smoke, lights, and dramatics -- and a bloke in make-up. He had fantastic make-up and emerged from behind the curtain in a big old colonial-like jacket (w/ tails), a red corset, black mini-skirt, fishnets, and big leather boots with I'm guessing 3 inch heals. We were treated to a bit more skin in the second act -- a black corset, (no jacket), and a sparkly skirt with a dangerously high slit.
I was lucky enough to get 2nd row seats in the pit, but my pictures still came out like crap. It's hard to photograph someone who is being spotlighted because they tend to be washed out. Though you might want to take a look at the pictures in my mobile phone photo album. To sum up I had a great time, and snagged a sweet 'SEXIE' poster for $5. Now I'm going to go drain my bank account buying Eddie Izzard DVD's from Amazon... I think you should TOO!
