My favourite comedian Eddie Izzard is on a new world tour which started in March 2013 called Force Majeure.

And I am especially happy that part of this tour will see him performing in Croatia on the following dates:

Dubrovnik – 22nd March
Zagreb – 24th March
Osijek – 26th March

The dates have been arranged by the London Calling comedy team who have been organising stand-up comedy shows by English speaking comedians from around the worlds for the last couple of years in Croatia and neighbouring countries. Well done guys!

Meeting Eddie after the Zagreb show 24.3.13

After the Zagreb show a few fans met him backstage. I asked him about his early days and he remembered the early shows in Brighton at the Zap Club in the early 1990s.

I first saw Eddie Izzard do stand-up comedy back in 1991 at the Crocodile Comedy Club which used to be held at the Concorde Bar in Brighton, my home town, and just a few miles away from Eastbourne where Eddie went to school.

Since then of course he has become a very famous known comedian, playing to packed houses all over the world.

We are looking forward to Eddie’s visit to Croatia – particularly because here we will see the show before the tour reaches the UK and Brighton later in May and July 🙂

In 2003 the Discovery Channel broadcast a 3 part documentary ‘Mongrel Nation’ about England and the English language hosted by Eddie Izzard.
