Musicians have it easy. Did you write a song that audiences love? Well, guess what? Now you can play that every show for the rest of your life. For comedians, it’s a much trickier proposition. Did you write a joke that kills? Well, guess what? As soon as your stand-up special with said joke comes out, you’ll probably never get to tell that artfully crafted witticism ever again. Thankfully, Eddie Izzard has never been one to conform. Izzard has been a star in the British comedy scene and a queer comedy trailblazer since well before self-identifying as trans, and is now pushing comedic norms with her The Remix Tour. The show will feature Izzard performing some of the best jokes from her 35-year career, but since her material has always been rooted in hilarious monologues that can veer into tangents, even the old material gets playfully injected with new life each night. Play the hits, Izzard!
