5 out of 5 stars 2nd best Eddie Izzard DVD, BEST stand-up comedy ever!.......2007-06-29

I must preface this rave review by saying that if you don't like British comedy, are uncomfortable with transvestites, or have no patience for intelligent humor, you DON'T want to buy this. That said, BUY THIS DVD! One of his best performances, this installment of Eddie Izzard reinforces what I and his thousands of loyal fans already knew: he is by far one of the most talented comedians of the past 2 decades, and not a shabby actor either! (See Shadow of the Vampire for more info.) His comedy spans every imaginable topic - the NRA, the creation of the world, Queen Elizabeth,

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely the funniest Eddie ever!!!.......2007-06-23

I've been a fan of Eddie Izzard's bizzarely off-the-wall humour since his appearences in BBC's Have I got News for You. Dress to Kill was the first time I'd seen him do stand-up though and it blew me away.

Of course, I then had to obtain his other works; Glorious, Circle and so on. Definite Article was the last DVD of his I purchased, and boy did I save the best until last!

Knowing this was shot in 1996 I was concerned about the performance, production values and content. I needn't have been - this is Eddie at his finest. The theatre was stunning and the set was very apt, with a massive book opening revealing the man himself on a huge chair atop a staircase. Of course, after the applause dies down what you get is pure Izzard, with non-sequiturs, mumbling, laughing at his own silliness, and topics and themes are juggled haphazardly with some trailing off, others returning later in the set to kick you where it hurts. And since Eddie isn't really a topical comedian it stays the test of time, with only his bit on pausing VCRs reminding you the video you're watching is not quite as contemporary as it appears.

Clearly having fun, Izzard let's his ad-lib skills run free. And every topic is a gem, every bit is wonderful. The bit on James Bond had me literally in tears and I had to pause the DVD and regain my composure. I still laugh about this DVD days after viewing it.

So if you haven't added this one to your collection yet do so! You won't regret it.

Eddie Izzard has to be just about the best comic around. My upper division English teacher in college showed us some of "Dress to Kill," and the class was cracking up. I watch everything of his I can get my hands on.

5 out of 5 stars Once Again... We Worship The "Mad Skills" of a Brilliant Comedian!.......2007-02-16

Izzard is the greatest comedian in the world! His performances are always employing his vast array of expressions, movements, and pitch. He has perfect comedic timing and I am shocked that he is not more famous than he already is! He's certainly better than any American comic I can think of.
He is so wonderfully talented and hilarious.
The best way to spend time.
I sometimes find myself going on Eddie withdrawal.
EPIC!
Eddie steals our hearts and laughter!
Go buy it now! ^.^

I don't think there's anything he could do I wouldn't like- Eddie is hilarious!!
