After selling out Madison Square Garden and also becoming the first stand-up comedian to play a solo show at the Hollywood Bowl, he has set off on the most extensive comedy tour ever, with Eddie globetrotting from Cardiff to Kathmandu, Moscow to Mumbai and now Halifax to Victoria on his Force Majeure World Tour! Just announced, as part of more than 25 countries throughout Europe, Africa, UK, Australia and New Zealand, India, Nepal, The Far East and The United States, Eddie will kick off the Canadian leg of his Force Majeure tour in Halifax on Nov. 10! Having spent time as a teenager in Canada, Eddie is excited to show his Canadian fans his Force Majeure! The pre-sale for tickets begins Aug. 12 with the public on-sale occurring Aug. 16.

“Inspired! Against a set that is part-Avengers, part-Austin Powers, Izzard proves that he’s still frivolous and fleet of foot – even in Cuban heels.” – Said London’s The Independent of Izzard’s Force Majeure.

Success around the world, both on stage and on screen, Eddie Izzard is never one to rest on his laurels. He keeps audiences on the edge of their seats with his bizarre tangential, absurd, and surreal comic narratives that find him espousing his views on Darth Vader, Greek Mythology, human sacrifice and chaos theory, and that’s just the start!
