The British funnyman’s show is headed to Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire for the first time. The last state left after July will be Hawaii.

The routing has him moving around the East Coast, with no shows in the western half of the nation. The last gig scheduled is in Concord, N.H. on July 31.

The Force Majeure tour has been running since 2013 and has taken Izzard across 5 continents.

Prior to the North American trip, the comedian will be touring the UK for his Stand Up for Europe tour, his effort to encourage countrymen to vote to remain in the European Union.
