This Eddie Izzard video is truly fantastic. Although it does not even challenge Definite Article it still will have you in tears of laughter. It does make a some what slow start by Izzards standards but sketches such as Cake or Death make the show the outstanding piece of conmedy that it is. Other sketches such as the american way of filming and the way that Vader speals also help make this video and excellent choice for purchase. Izzard is god!, who just happens to be James Mason.

Well, as a pro-European, Eddie certainly hits the nail on the head with this gig. Filmed in San Fran (tee-hee!) the main bulk of the comedy comes from the differences between the US and Europe. The wide ranging subjects are all given the Izzard treatment, and what a treat it is to watch. I think his ideas and 'self-help' parts are what makes this gig worth watching, as it makes one appreciate just how intelligent Eddie is! The real gem comes with his verbiage on language (you say 'erbs, and we say Herbs...because there's a...), although it seems that the speil of French language (the funniest bit of Izzard in all his releases) loses the American audience somewhat! What a pity, they don't seem to have a clue! Let's look forward to his next video outing! The live show of 'Circle' was phenomenal!

Amazing! Not the first time I've seen Eddie, (I have "Unreapeatable" in VHS, also reccomened) and yet again I was impressed. His work is totally unique, the way you see his mind work, linking things together, moving from the opening scene in Alcatraz to how Steve Martin played the american role in "The Great Escape" every second will have you rolling in fits of laughter.

Eddie Izzard - Dress To Kill [DVD] [1998] (Purchased on 11/15/2009)
It was good... To be honest I bought the CD based on the act he does all in French, its so funny, the rest of his act was amusing but not so much laugh out loud. Read more

Izzard is unrelentingly funny in this late 90's concert from San Francisco. There are laugh out loud moments nearly all the time and even having watched it more than a dozen times... Read more
