Cake or Death's Groovy News

From The Steffer (thanks!). More Work in Progress photos HERE:

“The wonderful @eddieizzard performed with the always brilliant Comedy Store Players and was fortunate enough for Eddie to use my camera and take an “at arms length” pic of us together…I was trying to get a pic of Eddie with the penguin you can only just”

You may have noticed that the Groovy News section looks a bit different. I moved the links on the left side of the page to the UPDATES page and changed the news section into more of a blog feature so you can comment on the different stories (if you want) and subscribe to the FEED for the latest updates.

Hopefully it’ll make it easier to find stories by using the new tag search feature! Let me know what you think 🙂

From Alan Davies: “Spent all afternoon being an extra in a film called HUGE. Other extras incuded: Ronnie Ancona, Sally Phillips, Hattie Hayridge, Eddie Izzard”

A strange bit of ‘citizen paparazzi’ video – someone took a short vid of Eddie transfixed by an electronic sign while walking through London (thanks Annette!):

Comedian Eddie Izzard introduced a film of the Hope not Hate bus’s 1,000mile, 15-day nationwide tour. He said: “Just 65 years ago, our grandfathers and grandmothers fought a world war against fascism. Well, this is our generation’s fight against fascists. Tell everyone you know to vote against the racists in the European elections on June 4.” Izzard also invoked the spirit of Stoke City football legend Sir Stanley Matthews – a man renowned for his leadership and modesty. “I know Sir Stanley Matthews wouldn’t want the people of Stoke voting for the BNP,” he told the crowd to cheers of support.

Between acts, compere Eddie Izzard took to the stage to deliver the anti-racism message of the festival. And the comedian told the sun-drenched crowd to “mobilise” themselves against the BNP at the polls on Thursday. He said: “We know there is a BNP element in this city and we have to fight it. On Thursday there is a danger the BNP is going to get seats on the European Parliament. “You have to start mobilising yourselves, your friends and anyone you have ever met to go and vote on Thursday so this doesn’t happen. “You will be sending a message out to the world that you love hope, and that they breed hate. “Sixty-five years ago our grandfathers fought against fascism in World War Two. We have another battle on our hands on Thursday to make sure there is no victory for fascists this time either. “You can do it. It’s up to you to battle fascism.”

Ella Communications are currently trying to find missing material for Eddie’s own archive and we trying to find any posters, flyers or photographs from the Circle tour shows at the Birmingham Hippodrome (UK) in 2000. We would be very grateful to anyone who has any of this material if they could send a scanned version or digital photo to archive@ellacomms.com. Any quality of image would be acceptable.
Thanks in advance, Ella Communications
