Comedians do not tend to do Greatest Hits tours like ageing pop stars. But Eddie Izzard has a formidable back catalogue and has dusted it off for Remix, which could become a farewell tour. She says if selected as Labour's prospective MP for Brighton Pavilion and she wins the seat in the next election she will quit stand-up.
The show is not just revisiting past glories though. Izzard – preferring she/her pronouns and also using Suzy but still billed as Eddie – adds new touches to old favourites. It is a process that bears fruit in some places and feels superfluous in others.
