Force Majeure is the most extensive comedy tour ever; launched in March of 2013, the tour will take Izzard to 28 countries on five continents and all 50 of the United States of America.  From Cardiff to Kathmandu and Moscow to Mumbai, Force Majeure will play throughout Europe, Africa, Russia, the U.K., Canada, the U.S., India, Nepal, The Far East and Australia.  Izzard has performed the show in France performing entirely in French, Berlin performing entirely in German and plans to learn and perform the show in Spanish, Russian and Arabic.
