Is Austin still weird? The jury may be out these days. But to one visiting superstar, Austin’s groovy — and that may be even better. Suzy Eddie Izzard extended her run at The Paramount Theater after five sold-out shows, and is performing all 23 characters in “The Tragedy of Hamlet” for local audiences through this weekend. But why did Austin make the cut on the activist and marathon runner’s world tour? Izzard joins host Nikki DaVaughn to explain.
