Fox Concerts and WestBeth Entertainment present thehilarious comedian Eddie Izzard live at the Fox Theatre January 9 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are on sale now and prices are $58, $48, and $38 with a limited number of Gold Circle seats also available. All prices are subject to change. Comedian and actor Eddie Izzard, adored by fans and critics alike for his lightening quick wit and surreal humor, returns to the US after a sold-out European tour.

Izzard's updated one man show fittingly titled STRIPPED TOO, The Big Intimacy Tour, will hit the road beginning January 2010. Critics have described Izzard as everything from the "funniest man in pretty much all of the known universe," to "a human search engine," to "a surrealist maestro of historical and scientific trivia, and "a one-man Monty Python crew." Izzard won acclaim in the U.S. with his first one man show, DRESS TO KILL which debuted on HBO and won two Emmy Awards.

His last tour, STRIPPED, sold-out in 35 cities, including a three night engagement at New York's Radio City Music Hall and five nights at The Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. In between tours, Izzard earned rave reviews for his acting talent seen on television in the hit FX series, THE RICHES; on the big screen in Steven Soderbergh's OCEANS 13; and on Broadway, where he starred in the acclaimed revival of A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG.

Izzard received a Tony nomination for "Best Leading Actor in a Play" for his performance. Tickets for Eddie Izzard are on sale now at the Fox Theatre box office and all MetroTix locations. To charge by phone call MetroTix at 314/534-1111 or online at www.metrotix.com.
