Eddie to play Anchorage, Alaska
[from adn.com | thanks Ramona!]
Popular comedian and actor Eddie Izzard will perform at UAA’s Wendy Williamson Auditorium next month, returning to his roots in stand-up comedy after an extensive career as both a film and Broadway actor. A prominent figure in comedy since the early 90’s, Izzard has gone on to star in movies such as “Ocean’s 12,” “Ocean’s 13” and “Romance and Cigarettes” opposite such actors and actresses as Kate Winslet, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
The British comedian is primarily know for mixing things up, drawing bizarre connections between seemingly unrelated ideas, as well as his tendency to cross-dress both on and off the stage.
In addition to winning two Emmys and having been twice named Top Stand-Up Comedian of the year by the British Comedy Awards, Izzard went on to break box office records by selling out a five-week tour of the U.K. in less than 48 hours.
