    Lyrics:

    Eddie: a good brit

    By Jake W  Jul 19, 2005

    Pros: Comedy thinking that is outside of the box

    Cons: none

    I am delighted by anything Eddie Izzard has put out... he picks on everyone, but in a way that makes you laugh at yourself. Amusing anecdotes, funny stories, and a cunning grip on history and languages.. with a vaguely pythonesque tint to his humor. ... If you have heard Eddie, and haven't bought his CD, you are in error.... Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Circle [DVD]

  • All Music Guide

    British comic Eddie Izzard is many things, not the least of which is wickedly funny. The fact that he dresses in drag has always been a bit of an anomaly in regard to his comedic material in that it has so little to do with his act. Mostly, it serves as a kind of comedic "shock and awe" strategy to force his audiences to lighten up. Which is why the CD version of Circle is both an effective and inadequate document of his live show. On one hand, it allows you to fully focus on his dry wit, deep historical references, and train-of-thought jokes without the distraction of a slightly barrel-chested man in pumps. On the other hand, a slightly barrel-chested man in pumps is quite funny. That said, anyone familiar with Izzard's irreverent, intelligent brand of absurdist humor will find Circle highly enjoyable. Included on this performance from June 26, 2000, in New York City are Izzard's brilliant riffs on how the Pope is akin to Batman; how guns don't kill people, people kill people, and so ...will monkeys if they have guns; and how Jesus might have been a prophet to the dinosaurs. Much in the tradition of Monty Python, many Americans won't "get it," but that fact only heightens the pleasure for those who do. - Matt Collar, All Music Guide Read more Less

Eddie Izzard

The London Sunday Times has called him "the greatest British stand-up comedian of his generation" and the entity of Eddie Izzard is worthy of such praise. This comedian, actor and transvestite has bewitched the world of comedy into a kitschy, campy and cunning mix while adding a bit of British flair to American humor and it's brilliant.Born in 1962 to an accountant fath... Read more
