Summary: BUY IT YOULL LAUGH YOURSELF SILLY
Review: Watch this, then watch his best work Dress to Kill! You'll thank yourself! Glorious is a riot of pure comedy! No one hops into silly dialogues with himself the way Eddie Does. Being in Britain, we have the opportunity to view all his stuff live and on VHS (go to Amazon.co.uk for all his stuff). He is well worth it. His monologues ring true to life and will leave you wanting more!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent, And Extremely Funny!
Review: Eddie Izzard is so funny, I just cant believe it. He has thisthing about going into side coversations, and then comming back to themain topic later on. He also has this thing about history. In everyshow I've seen of him, he talks about history in some halarious way. In "Glorius" He talks about the Old & New Testament and some other Mythalogical Characters. I am a 14 year old though, and some of the stuff he talks about I have no idea about. So that was the only downside. BUY THIS VIDEO!

Summary: falling off my seat
Review: Eddie Izzard is one of the most, if not the most funniest comics alive. Glorious kept me in stitches I litterally fell off my couch watching it he is so off the wall funny you never know what he will say or do in this performance eddie gives you a brief overveiw of world history while at the same time discussing mordern technologies this is a burst out laughing comedy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Gem
Review: I first saw Eddie Izzard while watching HBO one Saturday night. The concert was entitled "Dressed to Kill". I had never heard of Eddie before, and by the time it was over, I was wondering what rock I had been dwelling under to have never seen this brilliant comic.

"Glorious", while not quite as even as "Dressed", still left me in tears. The show begins with a Eddie's take on the book of Genesis, then travels on towards the Trojan horse ("Bye! Well done! Here's a horse for you..per usual..Bye!"), takes a hard left into the British Monarchy, shower water temperature and baboons in mime, before ending up in the book of Revelations. And, as a previous reviewer noted, the encore is probably the funniest 8 minutes of comedy I have seen in a long while.

I ordered this video last weekend, received it Friday and have watched it twice so far. It is well worth the money for the newer fan (like myself), and I'm sure that seasoned Izzard fans will love it even more.

Summary: Today's Funniest Comedian
Review: The title says it all. A mixture of many different styles of comedy, Eddie's performance is 100% hilarious. I could barely see for all the tears of laughter in my eyes. Watching his face as he thinks through his next bit, and goes back over bits he's already covered is entertainment enough. The material itself, which is some of the best material being done today, only adds to the joy. Seinfeld, get out of your throne....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A comic genius!
Review: This will be one of the funniest hour and a halfs spent in your life!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well worth the money!
Review: Why does a comedian have to be always at their best? Sure Eddie has had better shows,but this one is still better than 95% or other comedians performing today. There are some moments in this that will have you laughing for weeks after you see this video. I still love the encore as I'm sure will anyone who uses computers (which I would assume is everyone reading this). Buy all of Eddies stuff and make him more famous. He deserves it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: British Humor Crosses the Atlantic
Review: Brilliant - laughed so hard I had a sore throat for 2 days. Matchless

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Eddie's best, but still hilarious
Review: I would have to agree with previous reviewers that this video is not as good as either "Dress to Kill" or "Definite Article." However Eddie, even in second gear, is still funnier than any other comedian around at the moment and that alone makes this tape an essential purchase.

It's a pity though that they couldn't have included the whole of the absolutely brilliant "Lust for Glorious" mini-movie rather than just a 3-minute trailer. Perhaps on the DVD? Eh, Eddie?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Eminently rewatchable
Review: I had never heard of Eddie Izzard until Dress to Kill, which I found remarkable for three reasons: he was funny for an hour and forty minutes, way longer than most comics can manage; he is intelligent, and assumes his audience is; and I can watch the show over and over. I generally watch things once and move on, but I saw this four times in less than a month--and loved it each time.

As most of the people here say, Glorious is not as good--it might only have an hour's worth of good material. That's an acceptable amount, easily, when you consider how funny he is when he's on. This can also be watched multiple times, even with its slow spots.
