Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bloody Brilliant
Review: What else can I say about it! This man is comedy. My favourite is the airplane sketch at the end ( the end being my least favourite bit

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not so Glorious to live in the USA
Review: Another Glorious look into the surreal mind of Eddie Izzard. The 3rd in fact but the only video available on NTSC (what about "Dress to Kill" Eddie?)A must buy that continues to make me laugh after seeing it a dozen times. And how many stand up comics can pull that off? For real fans try and get hold of the rest of his shows on Audio cassettes

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bloody Brilliant - couldn't stop laughing
Review: This video is amazingly funny especially the computer part at the end where Eddie can't get it to print.

A MUST SEE VIDEO - One of the Best!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: wonderful, surprising, glorious
Review: A comic mind like this hasn't come along in about 20 years or so. Whatever you do, don't miss out on him

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Glorious Comedy
Review: The 4th of Eddie's shows, Glorious cannot be described as the worst of the shows because they all do exactly the same thing..make you laugh, a lot. Hidden away in this surreal outlook is a incredible genius who doesn't bore on about Theory of Time, and even if he did, he'd probably pull it off

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A tour de force of satire and sparkle.
Review: Izzard's take on everything from the bible to the six million dollar man is a perfect blend of wackyness and education. Watch Glorious and you will instanly become an Izzardite

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bunch of flowers!
Review: To someone who's never heard of the man: he can probably best be described as a stand-up Gary Larson. His humour seems at right angles to everyone else in comedy (who else could do a bionic Queen mother?). His videos definitely amuse even after many watchings, although for uncontrollable laughter its better to see him live. To best appreciate his genius, try repeating one of his sketches to some friends who've never heard of him, and watch the blank faces.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gotta love Eddie Izzard
Review: Having seen "Definite Article," and his one-man NYC show "Dress to Kill" twice, I rather enjoyed "Glorious". Although DA is one of Izzard's best, and includes the classic moment of Mother Nature teaching sex to animals, Glorious has the beautiful "Covered in Bees" riff. Not to mention Izzard's take on the bible is one of the best I've heard so far. True, Glorious is not one of his best, but it is the only one of his videos available in American VHS format (other than bootlegs you can maybe convince your friend to get). And as to continuity of thought, I've never found Izzard big on that, it's jsut that he's so full of digressions and random leaps of logic and flights of fancy that he's delightful.

The one low point in the video is the end of the second set (About the airplane). But right after it is the fantastic bit about computers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wet your pants funny
Review: In Glorious he is one moment a balmy Prince Philip, slandering a billion Chinese on an official visit; the next he is the Grim Reaper, discarding, in the name of progress, his scythe in favor of a power mower. Mr Izzard is ticklingly entertaining hybrid of mainstream cultural influences and offbeat personal tendencies. He is without a doubt the funniest person either side of the Atlantic.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The worst of his videos so far.
Review: Eddie Izzard relies on old jokes from his Definite Article video and lacks the continuity of thought he is famed for. Try either of his previous videos to see Him at his most glorious.
