Beg, borrow or steal a ticket for Eddie Izzard’s Stripped tour. He’s just announced extra dates. I was lucky enough to be in the audience at the Metro Arena, Newcastle last Friday.

Instead of a warm up act, tweets to @eddieizzard are displayed on two huge screens on either side of the stage, overlaid on top of images from a video camera that picked out members of the audience. As a means of engaging the audience it worked incredibly well.

During the gig Izzard stitched together his views of creationism, evolution and the development of human civilisation, to create a knockout two hour show with moments of absolute genius.
