5.0 out of 5 stars The most original and funny comedy seen since Monty Python., 2 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As boxed sets go, they're often a sprat to catch a mackerel. A clever corporate concept of squeezing that little bit of extra cash out of the public. However, Ella communications has more than pulled out the stops, thrown out the baby with the bath water and even thrown in the kitchen sink too.

This collection shows precisely why ol' Eddie is one of the most funny, original and downright quirky comics since the Python posse had the country in stiches when the dead parrot sketch hit the screen.

Where Izzard excels is in the way he tells the truth and educates through comedy without the bile of being over political or simply unfunny. Somehow, the transvetite (or 'male tomboy' as he likes to be known) talks about the Noah's Ark with Sean Connery as Noah, subverts Pavlov and bizzarely enough makes you cry with laughter about toasters.

The never before seen 'Lust For Glorious' is also thrown in. A spoof documentary about Eddie Izzarrd and the meeting with his American P.R. team is so downright funny it makes Roy Mallards' docu-parodies seem as stiff as 2 week old corpse. And, not only is his previous stand up shows all here, but a special one off live performance in France....in french, where the surrealist comic does more for anglo-french relations than a certain french speaking UK prime minister.

With a wit as sharp as a freshly sharpened knife, and an intellect that is broad, caring and hilariously funny you wish that not just all comedians were like messrs Izzard, but politicians as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Izzard, Mason and Connery, 2 Jul 2002
Eddie Izzard, the most brilliant comic mind in the world. A mass of the most brilliant observational humor, with a sour twist of absurdity. If you have a cat, a dog, a mouse, a spare second, or simply a good sense of humor, this will be the best investment in the world, my only regret is that a video-cassette wears out.
I leave you with a reference to Mr. Izzards best show, Unrepeatable:

If you don't think this show is the best in the world, then you should!

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, but worth it..., 14 Mar 2000
By A Customer
I'll agree with the previous reviewer on the briefcase and T-shirt, but after that our opinions run to opposites. I already owned Glorious and Unrepeatable (and had paid extra for NTSC conversion), but this set is worth the expense (even with conversion costs) largely due to the inclusion of Je Suis A Standup. It is a well done documentary that definitely bears repeated viewing and gives you some insight into Eddie's creative process. Plus, Definite Article is one of my favorite videos, along with Glorious and Dress to Kill (unfortunately not part of this set). If you like Eddie, you'll be very happy with this collection.

Basically, Eddie Izzard, the comic genius, at his best. The previous reviews show definitively that americans seem to have no sense of humour, so any non-americans will enjoy... Read more
