It's not every day you go to see a comedian dressed in heels. At least, not one who's a boy.
Last week I got to see British comedian Eddie Izzard perform at the NAC. Izzard's not only funny, but he's also a self proclaimed transvestite. Amazingly, he did the whole show in stilettos and a face full of makeup, along with bright red nails. His clothing was a little more subdued: jeans and tails. It was Ottawa after all.
The show itself started off with a few digs at the monarchy, and he made fun of Ottawans for having to pay for the upcoming royal visit to our city. What followed were two plus hours of very witty (and often obsurd) reflections on the history of the world. Sample jokes: "God must have been on crack cocaine when he invented dinosaurs" and "Scrabble was invented by Nazis to piss off kids with dyslexia." Very funny!
Here's a sample video of the schtick (warning: bad language!)
