EDDIE IZZARD has been hailed as one of the foremost stand-ups of his generation.

He takes ideas and situations and extrapolates them into bizarre, tangential, absurd and surreal comic narratives.

Since his first stage appearance on London's West End in 1993 there have been a succession of sell-outs and critically acclaimed international tours. Eddie's musings have earned him countless awards including two Emmy's.

Whilst initially renowned as a comic, Eddie is also now equally respected as a film, theatre and TV actor.

With shows on November 19 and 20 now sold out, and limited tickets available for November 6, your Argus have teamed up with the Cardiff International Arena to offer one lucky reader a pair of tickets.
