When Izzard’s “Force Majeure” concludes it will have taken the comedian to 25 countries on five continents.  Crossing language barriers, he recently played shows in France where he spoke French to deliver the funny.  Likewise in Berlin where Izzard spoke German while performing in the country’s capital city.
