Eden Sessions - Eddie Izzard

Highlight of our Cornish weekend was Monday night's Eden Session evening - watching comedy legend Eddie Izzard surrounded by the biomes of the Eden Project.

 

After seeing Tim Minchin's monsoon-like Eden gig last year (which was still spectacular, of course), it was wonderful to be at an evening event where it was actually dry! And also warm!

 

 

 

We arrived about 7pm and made the long 1 mile trek from the car park to the Eden Project entrance where we got our wristbands and then headed on down to the main stage, biomes and food court.

 

 

 

Eden reckoned there were 6000 people attending the gig - if there were, then the setting certainly made for an intimate atmosphere as you would have never have known there was that many people.

 

 

 

Before the man himself started on stage his backdrop showed tweets being sent to Eddie in real time and a camera which panned across the crowd and flashed individuals up on the screen.

My friend M and her partner both made an appearance on the big screen!

 

 

Eddie Izzard was, as always, fabulous; even handling heckles to "do the gig in Cornish" with ease and laughter.

 

 

 

 

Our half time dinner consisted of an extremely tasty Cornish beef burger and sweet potato fries with all the ingredients sourced locally and cooked on site.

 

 

 

Then Eddie was back on stage for the second act, equally as good as the first.

His routine about making any topic a musical song and dance is eye-wateringly funny!

 

 

 

 

All in all, a brilliant evening spent with excellent company, delicious food and a fantastic show in a magical setting!
