Eddie Izzard

Tracey and I went to see Eddie Izzard on Friday night with a couple of friends who had never heard of him. It was, as you would expect, hilarious and he spent the 2 hours talking about his take on the history of the world, at the beginning of which, he announces he is an atheist. His disbelief in God is the backbone of the night as he explains the logical and scientific history of our planet as an evolutionist rather than a creationist.

He slags off latin as a pointless language that is way too complicated and describes how language was developed as a means of passing down skills from one generation to another. He suggests that everyone was good at Scrabble before words were invented.

if you get the chance to see him live, take it...regardless of the cost.
