DEFINITELY ARTICULATE. Comedy Central has Eddie Izzard and the comedic genius' best stand-up every Thursday in June at 20:55.


The guy 3rd on the list of the 100 Greatest British National Comedians - Eddie Izzard - is not only in South Africa next month to do some of his brilliant stand-up live on stage, he will also be on you're television thanks to Comedy Central (DStv 122).

Calm down, everyone. No need to blow up Death Stars and things like that. All you need to do, is to tune in to Comedy Central every Thursday night from 6 June at 20:55 every Thursday in June right through early July for epic humour from this comedic genius. 

Keep in mind that Eddie Izzard's stand-up routines are not often shown on television (apparently by Overload Izzard's decree from long ago) and you will realize how truly special this Eddie Izzard month of June on Comedy Central is going to be. 

Eddie Izzard's highly acclaimed comedy masterpieces - a treasured anthology of his best stand-up stuff - is coming to viewers on Comedy Central from 6 June at 20:55 with Eddie Izzard: Circle, followed by Eddie Izzard: Definite Article (13 June, 20:55), Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill (20 June, 20:55), Eddie Izzard: Glorious (27 June, 20:55) and onwards into July.

Eddie Izzard who did 43 marathons in 51 days in 2009 for charity although he describes himself as "a sack of potatoes on a mission", of course recently attempted to do 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa to honour Nelson Mandela's legacy by running past places of significance in Madiba's life. 

That new documentary series will be shown on DStv in July I can reveal. But back to the Comedy Central stuff.

The guy who've famously described himself as "a lesbian in a man's body" is friends with Robin Williams, and Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill on 20 June on Comedy Central won him two Emmy Awards when it was shown on HBO in the United States in 2000.

He's also won British Comedy Awards and yes, there will be Star Wars, there will be Harry Potter, there will be stream-of-consciousness whimsical monologues and a multitude of pop culture references and mumblings and ramblings. It's the Eddie way.
