Eddie Izzard as Pavlov
My husband and I will travel next Saturday to Austin, Texas, to see one of our favorite comedians, Eddie Izzard, perform live at the Paramount Theatre. I will review and recap the show for you, loyal readers, here on BAM’s Blog.
Izzard, star of the FX series “The Riches,” is a hilarious comic who excels at wild imitations (particularly of James Mason, Sean Connery and his old clarinet teacher, Mrs. Badcrumble), mining history for laughs and bizarre observational humor.
