     @alexglow she’s just the best and personally the first comedian that made jokes that were 100% attuned to my brain. What a revelation in the 90s!

     I’ve since seen her a couple of times, including the training sessions for the German show in front of 50 people.

     And even met her once at a hotel breakfast after her show in Cardiff. Just the loveliest human.

     I’m so glad you finally got to see her <3

     Izzard is one of the capital-H Helpers – a comedian and progressive politician whose humor crosses borders and languages, steeped in history and politics, topped off with lots of absurdism and silly sound effects.

     She's been making me laugh for decades, and seeing her live for the first time really was better than therapy.

     The day after the election, I made up my mind to go see Eddie Izzard at the Paramount – an Art Deco jewel set in the Bay, lighting up Oakland since 1931. That show was last night.
