While leafing through newspapers accumulated during my recent trip, I came across an article in the Los Angeles Times reviewing an Eddie Izzard one-man show that was in LA for a week around mid-September. He was described as a transvestite (I'm waiting for a women in a men's suit to be described that way :x ). A B&W picture with the article showed Eddie wearing fingernail polish, a leather skirt, nylons, and pumps.
The review was quite favorable and the show's run was said to be sold out. Apparently his very appearance on stage provoked so much applause that he was reported to have said "But, I haven't said anything, yet." My favorite quip quoted was that many Europeans thought the twin towers disaster occurred on November 9th, because that is the way 9/11 is interpreted there. |
