Eddie Izzard
The O2, Jun 8-9
National treasure Eddie Izzard has returned to the UK for his first major tour since Stripped in 2009. Mayoral ambitions and marathon-running aside, he's back to focusing on what he does best; silly, yet intelligent humour that pokes fun at the often overlooked eccentricities of modern life. Expect surreal digressions and fabulous nails. Read our critic's review of Eddie Izzard at Wembley Arena here.
