“Good morning, afternoon, evening to everyone. I am coming to tour New Zealand and Australia in November. Sorry I have been slow getting back.”

So typed hilarious cross-dressing comedian Eddie Izzard on Twitter just hours ago – and it’s great news for his local fans who haven’t seen him since he toured here for his Sexie show in 2003.

The straight funnyman is well-known for wearing women’s clothes and make-up on stage, but recent appearances have seen him choose more traditionally male attire.

A documentary film about Izzard’s life and career, called Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story, was released last year, featuring celeb interviews including Robin Williams and George Clooney.

Craig Ferguson loves to have a loosey-goosey attitude on the set of his late-night talk show for CBS, but this week takes things to another level. Or should I say, another country entirely. This week’s episodes come to us from Paris, where Ferguson recently went on a working vacation.

On last night’s episode of Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, comedian Eddie Izzard and actress Kristen Bell joined Ferguson for a shopping stroll through the streets of Paris. You’ll get to see Ferguson question Izzard about performing his stand-up material in French, as well as whether the French or other cultures have a different sense of humor from the Americans or British. Interesting stuff.

Note: You can skip past the first minute of French Aquaman skittery.

Roll it!
