Rating: Summary: And he even does it in Heels... Review: Just buy it man, You will not be let down I promise. First you might want to get your hands on "Dressed To Kill" which is even more excelent but don't watch them one after another because this one won't seem as funny. The humor in this video is witty, Izzard is kind of the thinking persons comedian. Instead of talking about farting (don't get me wrong. I find it hilarous as well) he talks about the old testament and vaccum cleaners and evil herbivores. His girraffe impression is not to be missed. Honestly, whip out the visa dude, it will be worth it.
Rating: Summary: Funniest man alive Review: There are no limits on how funny this man can be. Just when you think he's said the funniest thing you've ever heard, he goes and tops it.Although it's not as non-stop funny as "Dressed to kill", it is still worthy of 5 stars. As with D2K he starts slowly, but gradually gets into his rythem. His topics include the Royal family, playground activities, toasters, showers, computers, small planes and toasters. Only he can jump between completely different topics in such a seamless way. If you've not been exposed to any of his material, Glorious is a good warm up to the main event, D2K!
Rating: Summary: Loved "Dress to Kill"? You'll like this! Review: Actually, I'd have to disagree with "ashreal". I saw "Dress to Kill" as a return to the magic conjured up by Izzard in "Unrepeatable" and "Definite Article". "Glorious" was his weakest show since "Ambassador's", which was his first released on video. Still, Izzard at his weakest is miles better than almost any other contemporary comic at his best.
Rating: Summary: It's Glorious, Lads! Review: If you don't know who Eddie Izzard is yet then you need to buy this tape! He is without a doubt the most brilliant comic around. It's truly a sight to see how he covers everything from the Royal Family to The X-Files. Izzard is a one-in-a-million genius!!! Once you view this tape you will never look at toasters and lawnmowers the same way again.
Rating: Summary: Izzard is fantastically funny. Review: Eddie Izzard is a nice man. The kind of man you could take home to your mother. He's unlikely to talk politics, or do satire, or... do anything that makes an awful lot of sense. He's happier inventing his own little surreal world, seemingly as he goes along. Eddie Izzard is a funny man. The first Eddie Izzard video I saw was one called Live at the Ambassadors. It was, in his own words, 'clunky... but I always am clunky to begin with... I do it on purpose actually, so, er, yeeeeeaaaaaaahh.' Izzard's 'So, er, yeaaaaaaaaah'ing immediately became something I did, by accident, when thinking up what to say next. He's infectious that way. Over the years he's grown in confidence, as his goal of proving that comedy is universal has come to fruition. He's liked the globe over now, for his Pythonesque absurdity and his unique, guy at the bar delivery. There's nothing pretentious about Eddie Izzard. He's surreal, but he is also very observant. Everything comes into his comedy; toasters, showers, animals, everything. He's a genius, and he's lovely. Aw. Er, yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhh.
Rating: Summary: I love this man Review: the first time that I saw Eddie, I was on a road trip in New Orleans, rolling about hysterically in my hotel room while his program played on HBO. This was, of course, his first American hit, "Dress to Kill." "Glorious" lives up to its name in every way possible - Izzard's mixture of physical and smart comedy makes for a rip-roaring show, as always. Mr. Izzard is truly one of the best entertainers that I have ever seen in my entire life, and I can wholeheartedly and without hesitation reccommend a dose of him every single day. Cheers to a talented and fabulous comedian.
Rating: Summary: simply eddie, he's from northern ireland you know?so...yeah. Review: i seen glorious on telly over here on this side of the atlantic and i was hooked instantly (went out and bought the video next weekend), the combination of connery rescuing pathetic whistle blowing floaters and the much enjoyed return of Mrs. Badcrumble as God's mum made this video one of Izzard's best. his ability to mime is so incredible he'll have you wandering round your house playing his gags over and over in your head but never quite being able to master his gags when trying to convince your mates to subject themselves to his side-splitting hilarity.
Rating: Summary: Comic GENIUS! Review: Anyone who thinks they are humorly challenged, here is the cure! I have had this tape for nearly a year and a half and it gets watched a minnimum of once a week. Our friends borrow it all the time, and we have to fight to get it back.... He is definately one of the BEST comedians out there. Get this for yourself and for anyone you consider a friend!
Rating: Summary: I'm Covered In Bees ! Review: It has to be said (probably for the millionth time) that this man is a complete genius. This video is prime Izzard. Many classic moments, like the beekeeper, the toatsers that lie to us, and the six-seater plane trip. But still. for me its not quite on a par with "Definate Article" and "Unrepeatable", which, I reckon are his best videos. All I can say is about those two is 'Mr Dog' and 'Bunch Of Flowers!'. Watch and you shall understand... Hopefully, for the U.S.'s sake, they will be released there soon
Rating: Summary: The Brilliance of Eddie Review: "Glorious" is not Eddie's best work, but it is still hilarious. The best thing about it is how he'll sart out talking about one thing, like Princess Diana, then go off on a tangent and talk about the X-files, then get right back into talking about Princess Diana. He does this repeatedly throughout the show, and it amazes me how he can remember what he's talking about! Eddie is a comic genius that has yet to recieve the recognition he deserves. (I mean, he won 2 Emmys and everything, but I think they should make him President of the World.)
