Sox Shuffle Continues
Oh, Eddie Izzard, you lovable scamp. Long before he took over the small screen as a gypsy gone darkly mainstream on The Riches, he was cracking us up with his hilarious stand-up. Perhaps best known for wearing a dress on-stage (and off), Izzard's stream-of-consciousness comedy has kept us in stitches through specials like Glorious and Dress To Kill. Now he's bringing his new show, Stripped, to the Chicago Theatre for a three night run. And if you want to go, you'd better get a move on. Last time we checked, Friday and Saturday's show were sold out, but there were still tickets available for Thursday's show.
Eddie Izzard: Stripped, May 15 - May 17, 8 p.m., $50 - $72, The Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St., Tickets available via Ticketmaster

Going to Thursday's show.
My wife and I saw him last time he was in Chicago for the Sexie tour, and I have to say, we were both mildly disappointed. I love his old stuff (Dressed to Kill is great), but the material I saw didn't have the luster that his old stuff had.
Nevertheless, my wife is going to see him this time around with a friend of hers instead of with me. Hopefully he'll be funnier for her!
Saw him last Saturday in Indy. 2nd row. It's not a huge departure from his earlier stuff -- except he's not in drag (blue jeans, chartreuse striped shirt, and gray jacket with tails). Still, very funny.
