Comments on Today The Stranger Suggests...

Saw the show last night (thanks Brendan for the advance tip - tickets went fast. I laughed for 2 hours straight, tears streaming down my face. Eddie Izzard's standup is fucking brilliant. One of the funniest parts was a 20 minute spontaneous tangent after a fly that dive bombed him on stage. Worth every penny.

To those who attended the Sunday show:

What was the deal with the crazy woman in the middle? Tourettes?

A rather common Seattle comedy audience phenomenon, Carlos--an audience member seemed to want to announce the veracity of something a performer has said to everyone.

From where I was sitting (a few rows behind the person you're talking about)--it seemed like she couldn't help herself from saying "Yes" throughout the show.

I suppose, it could have been a hiccup...or a snort...but it seemed semi-intentional.

Frankly, I was somewhat surprised he managed to control the crowd as well as he did.

And it WAS an awesome show...that I can't wait to buy in its finished form on DVD in two years...

PS--Believe it or not, Sean...a fly landed on Eddie's suit jacket in the encore on Sunday night's show, too...
