sanechaos witty. funny. intelligent. awesome. i was flipping channels late one night years ago. came across this and a wildfire started. i was staying up late every night and taping it for everyone i know. a few. like 3 people out of the almost 100 people i made watch this didn't think it was as awesome as i did. the others were laughing out loud so hard they were crying and thanking me at the same time. please do yourself a favor. run don't walk. watch this and enjoy. intelligence and humor. it's a win-win situation. i wish i could have afternoon tea with him and meet the truly rare comedian that we as a society need more of....sanechaos.

seawellk One of the best comedians ever. I've seen this show about 10 times and will probably watch it at least 100 more. My friends and family quote from this DVD so often, you'd think we did nothing other than watch it. The beginning part about Alcatraz is a little bit slow, but either wade through it or zip on through to the part where Eddie is on stage. Watch for the "Cake or Death" part (Joking about the Church of England) and the "Hitler/Pol Pot" part (Hard to explain, just watch it). The best part of the show may be Eddie's facial expressions. He can really say a lot with his eyes. (Mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow probably help, huh?) Fair warning: Eddie does have a tendency to throw a lot of four-letter words in.

iwhitewood There are only two all time greats of stand up comedy as far as I can see, and they shall be remembered for all eternity. Woody Allen is one, and Eddie Izzard is the other. The rest can only scramble for the crumbs these two throw away. If you need proof then I suggest you get hold of a copy of 'Dress to Kill' and prepare to be amazed. Although his act is awash with English slang, and tall tales are delivered in fluent French, Eddie has the audience in the palm of his hand from the start. What's so fascinating is the mixture of bewilderment and joy they experience. It's as though they have no choice in the matter. They're even happy to be reprimanded for not knowing their own American history. This from an Englishman! What I find so remarkable is the fact that, like Woody Allen, I don't find myself howling with laughter. It seems beyond that somehow. I watched a box set DVD recently of David Bowie. The word 'sublime' came to mind, and then 'Eddie Izzard' Enjoy.

grem458 This show, originally shown on HBO, showcases the masterful, brilliant, wandering mind of actor/comedian Eddie Izzard. Not so much standup as a hilarious one man performance piece, Izzard roams through history (European and American), transvestitism (his own), film, and even the literary value of Scooby Doo. Classic pieces include the "cake or death" version of the creation of the Church of England and Gunther Heimlich's invention of his very own maneuver! All Izzard's videos beg for repeated viewings, but Dress to Kill is the cream of the crop. Don't miss it!
