Eddie Izzard: Circle (2002 Video)
The only problem was the audience, they were like ice!

I thought he was hilarious! As soon as he walked on stage I started laughing. But the audience was in no mood for it and that threw him off, I think. Like when he was telling the one about the god of chaos out there in the middle of nowhere just trying to light his oven, (to make a flan), and he's poking a match in there and going "I'm just trying to light the oven... can't seem to get it lit.. Just trying' to.... BANG!!!" LOL!! But nobody laughed until he told them "And that was the big bang, thats how it all started." And they all kinda nodded and clapped in a "oh...I get it" way.

And then there were a few people who were laughing at everything, just in case it was funny. Every once in a while he'll just toss some nonsense out there and see what happens. But I could tell he wasn't connecting with them. He is at his best with an audience that already knows him, like in S.F. or London.
