Audience Advisory
There may be strong and imaginative language.
Eddie Izzard will bring her critically-acclaimed Wunderbar World Tour to Canada this Fall.
Wunderbar is a delicious insight into the surreal and fantastical world of Eddie Izzard touching on life, love, history and even her theory of the universe.
Wunderbar began life at La Nouvelle Seine, a floating theatre in Paris on the Seine where Izzard began to improvise her new show in French. She then flipped countries and continued developing the show improvising in Berlin in German. After more development in English, Izzard shared Wunderbar with the world, touring in 45 countries and performing the show in four languages… But made sure the language fit the country!
This is Izzard’s first tour of Canada since her 2013 Force Majeure tour. Force Majeure made comedy history having played in 45 countries including all 50 US States AND in four languages, making it the most extensive comedy show ever.
Izzard is arguably one of today's top comedians. With her brand of keenly intelligent humor that ranges from world history to historical politics, sexual politics, mad ancient kings, and chickens with guns, she has built an extraordinary fan base that transcends age, gender, and race.

What to expect during your visit to the theatre
ARE MASKS REQUIRED AT THE THEATRE?
Yes, all visitors and staff will be required to wear a mask that fully covers the nose, mouth and chin at all times during their visit to the theatre. Masks should fit snugly against the face without gaps; cloth masks should have at least two layers of fabric. Neck gaiters and bandanas are not permitted.
IS A FULL VACCINATION REQUIRED TO ENTER THE THEATRE?
Performances in our theatres are at full-capacity seating.
The requirement of our patrons to be fully vaccinated also means that all of our staff, artists and crew must be fully vaccinated to enter and work at the Mirvish theatres.
Proof of Vaccination - All patrons, 12 years of age or older, upon entry to the theatre, must provide the following documentation:
- Enhanced vaccine certificate (QR code) of full COVID-19 vaccination issued by the public health authority that administered the vaccine, meaning the full series of a World Health Organization (WHO) approved COVID-19 vaccine or combination of accepted vaccines, received at least 14 days prior to the performance date. Documentation can be displayed on a mobile device or printed. For patrons who received their vaccinations in Ontario, documents can be accessed at covid19.ontariohealth.ca.
- Government issued ID (i.e. driver’s license, health card or passport) that matches the proof of full vaccination documentation.
Children under the age of 12 are not required to provide receipt of vaccination.
Nine First Nations communities are excluded from providing an enhanced vaccination receipt. Members of these communities are still required to show a vaccine receipt and a form of ID.
Visitors from outside of Canada who do not have access to a QR code from their home jurisdiction or country that can be successfully scanned by the Verify Ontario app may show their own country’s or jurisdiction’s vaccine receipt(s) to prove they are fully vaccinated and must show their valid non-Canadian passport or NEXUS card as ID.
Medical / Clinical Trial Exemptions -Patrons unable to be fully vaccinated as they have an active medical exemption or are participating in a Health Canada approved COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial as specified in Ministry of Health guidance, need to provide the following documentation:
- Enhanced medical/clinical trial exemption vaccination certificate with official QR code.
- Government issued ID (i.e. driver’s license, health card or passport) that matches the proof of full vaccination documentation.
Patrons unable to provide this documentation will not be admitted. Vaccine receipts without a QR code are no longer accepted as valid proof of vaccination.
