Stripped (Eddie Izzard)

"Stripped" is the title of a stand-up comedy tour by Eddie Izzard, and is a continuation of the British comedian's typical style of comedy, full of "stream-of-conscious banter and predilection for nonsensical detours and frequent tangents."cite news |first=Todd |last=Camp |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=REVIEW: Ducks, lasers, Izzard, toasters, badgers, Majestic, sheep ... |url=http://www.star-telegram.com/live/story/560358.html |work=Star-Telegram |publisher= |date=2008-04-02 |accessdate=2008-04-18 ] The tour was performed from April 28 ndash August 9, 2008, with three "warm-up" dates.cite web |url=http://www.auntiemomo.com/cakeordeath/stripped.html |title=cake or death: an eddie izzard site: 2008 STRIPPED TOUR |accessdate=2008-04-18 |last= |first= |coauthors= |date=2008-04-18 |work= |publisher=] It has been called "not only hilarious but quite remarkable."cite news |first=Laura |last=Seewoester |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Comedy Review: Eddie Izzard |url=http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2008/mar/31/comedy-review-eddie-izzard/ |work=Pegasus News |publisher= |date=2008-03-31 |accessdate=2008-04-18 ] As for the name of the tour, Izzard says he called it "Stripped" because

"The heels got too high on the last two tours. Now I've just gone back to blokey mode, so I've got all this movement back which I couldn't do before. The set is leaner, what I'm wearing is leaner and just focusing on what I'm talking about. I keep talking about God and I come to all these different conclusions. I'm talking about the whole civilization, trying to strip that back, as well. The last 5,000 years we did everything. I put out my idea what we're doing here. I think it's all random. If there is a God, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan."
