Reporting from New York - Fans of Eddie Izzard and his over-the-top-fabulousness beware: His attire on stage at the Nokia Theatre this weekend will be a decided departure from his earlier flamboyance.

Wrapping up lunch at a Lower East Side bistro, Izzard warns that on this current tour he's in "boy mode" and will be wearing just "a certain amount of makeup -- but no more than Keith Richards." Sure enough, for his debut at Madison Square Garden, Izzard is au naturel: jeans, boots and a jacket with tails, but the only hint of the fabulous is his jacket's red lining.
