It begins its mammoth journey around the globe during spring 2013. From Cardiff to Kathmandu, Moscow to Mumbai, Eddie will visit 25 countries throughout Europe, USA, Africa, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Nepal and the Far East.

Martin Williams, Marketing Director at the Eden Project, said, "We are immensely excited to be able to announce Eddie Izzard as our first Session of 2013.

"We are building a strong tradition of comedy at the Eden Sessions, with the likes of Bill Bailey and this year’s headliner Tim Minchin, and Eddie is no exception. The beautiful landscape of Eden is a wonderful setting in which to experience Eddie’s fantastical flights of comedy."

Eden Sessions have become more like a one-day festival, with three stages and acts playing from early afternoon on each day.

Tickets are priced at £35 and will go on sale at 5pm on Friday 4th May when eFestivals will have links for you to buy them. Every Sessions ticket includes entry to Eden on the day of the show or the day after.
