Eddie Izzard, the self-proclaimed "executive transvestite" and comedian, takes his magnificent stand-up act to the Apollo Theatre in Labatt for this performance.

Izzard, in the midst of a world comedy tour, pulls out all the stops, sharing many of his most popular sketches. He portrays James Mason as God, hurrying about with soot and jam trying to complete the world on deadline. He presents Sean Connery as Noah, constructing the Ark as a speedboat. And he updates the Grim Reaper by putting a lawnmower in his skeletal clutches.
