Laugh Out Loud Comedy,
By
This review is from: Eddie Izzard - Glorious [DVD] (DVD)
Eddie is a comic genius. In this dvd he takes you through from the beginning of time, through the Book of Revelations, right back to present day. Highlights have to include the Evil Giraffe, The Grim Reaper trying to get more up-to-date, James Mason as God, Sean Connery as Noah, and my personal favourite with the beekeeper, "And he said, Aaaagh I'm covered in bees!"
This dvd can be watched many times over, and really it just gets better with each viewing. It is Eddie's over the top observational routine that set him apart from the rest...well, that and watching him tottering around in high heels and a shiny Jean Paul Gaultier suit! Simple stuff, yet highly effective and universally accessible. However, there is an extra bonus with the dvd. 'Lust For Glorious', a spoof promotional piece supposed to be helping him 'break' the American market. This is where Eddie is told he has been born in France, or that is what his audience in America must believe. Following this announcement, the viewer gets taken on a tour of a small French village with Eddie making up stories of his childhood, which seem to include an awful lot of getting his head stuck in things! And then there is the sex, and rock and roll behaviour to follow.... Overall, this dvd is extremely watchable, on your own, or with friends. It will make you laugh a lot, so prepare for a good belly workout from this one.

Very very very very very very funny,
By
This review is from: Eddie Izzard - Glorious [DVD] (DVD)
This was the first Eddie Izzard stand-up routine that I had the fortune to see live, and from start to finish for 2 hours I did not stop laughing (at one point it actually became painful). Like most of his DVD's the comedy is very surreal, but it is this daft-surrealism that makes him so unique and of course the funniest comic out there.Highlights for me include Achilles and his Achilles heel (the irony!), the tyranny of ducks (what exactly is an evil duck?) and of course "I'm covered in bees". It should also be pointed out that this performance does also contain the worlds greatest chat-up line..."You fancy a coffee? Because I like my coffee like I like my women...in a plastic cup"

Eddie Izzard - Glorius,
This review is from: Eddie Izzard - Glorious [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The first thing you have to say about Eddie Izzard is he is the one of the funniest stand-ups around. This example of his work is one of the best and i would rate the writing and delivery of his performance as 'superb'. In this show the plot is very simple...The Old Testement, The New Testement and the Book of Revelations. Eddie's version of the Bible is very comical and historical events are included in the show as well.He is a comical genius and if you are a stand-up fan this is a must have video. I can't wait until he is touring again because I am there! BUY IT!
