Eddie Izzard – Force Majeure.  Eddie Izzard is the man who turned talking ‘bollocks’ into an art form. He sold out Madison Square Garden and became the first stand-up comedian to play a solo show at the Hollywood Bowl – twice! Eddie Izzard takes ideas and situations and extrapolates them into bizarre tangential, absurd, and surreal comic narratives – topics that skip from Darth Vader and Greek mythology to human sacrifice and chaos theory.  Maui Arts & Cultural Center, Castle Theater, 1 Cameron Way, Kahului.  7:30 p.m.  For tickets and information call (808) 242-7469 or visit http://www.mauiarts.org/
