British comedian Eddie Izzard has announced a run of New Zealand dates as part of his Force Majeur world tour.

Starting in March 2013, Force Majeur is the most extensive comedy tour ever and once completed, Eddie Izzard will have performed in 25 countries across 5 continents. He recently completed two three-month residencies in Paris, where he performed entirely in French and one in Berline, where he performed entirely in German.
