Unleash Laughter: Eddie Izzard's Remix Tour Hits Virginia Beach!

Prepare for an unforgettable night of comedy as comedian and actor Eddie Izzard brings her highly anticipated Remix Tour to the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach this October! This isn’t just another stand-up show; it’s a celebration of Izzard’s illustrious 35-year career, where she revitalizes classic routines in a way that keeps audiences on their toes.

What to Expect from the Remix Tour

The concept behind Izzard's tour is refreshingly simple: if your favorite band can hit the road with their greatest hits, why can’t a comedian do the same? Izzard has taken her beloved jokes and stories, giving them a modern twist while ensuring the essence remains intact. “I can’t go out with my stand-up and just repeat the old jokes,” Izzard explained. “What I can do is refine it. You’ll be going along and think, ‘Oh, I know this one,’ but then find something new woven in.”

Details of the Show

• Date: Friday, October 18
• Location: Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, Virginia Beach
• Tickets: Available online at the official website

Keeping Comedy Fresh

To keep her performances lively, Izzard embraces a technique that many comedians employ: entertaining herself as much as the audience. “If you lock your set in concrete, it starts to die,” she said. “My stuff is molten. It evolves.” This fluidity is a hallmark of her comedic style, ensuring that no two shows are ever quite the same.

Breaking Barriers and Embracing Change

In recent years, Izzard has also become an icon of resilience and authenticity. Coming out as a transgender woman in 2020, she now prefers the name Suzy Eddie Izzard, but continues to be billed professionally as Eddie Izzard. “I’ve made it easy for people who might find change difficult,” she remarked, underscoring her desire to create a more inclusive environment.

Stepping into New Roles

Izzard's career has spanned various stages and screens, and she is busier than ever. Aside from her stand-up tour, she has taken on roles in classic plays like Great Expectations and Hamlet, appeared in Netflix’s Kaos, and starred in the recent adaptation of Doctor Jekyll. “Sketch comedy was what I was supposed to do,” she shared, reflecting on her journey from childhood to stardom.
