@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

I think Eddie Izzard is one of the funniest comedians ever. He can reference history and talk about interesting things, instead of the typical routine and subject matter that a lot of comedians rely on. Eddie is brilliant at setting up these scenarios, complete with banter between multiple characters, combined with the facial expressions, and the body language..and the drag is so ridiculous - but it all works in concert to create a fantastic comic experience. Love him!~

Anyone else feel a great deal of affection for, and comfort in the comedy of Eddie Izzard? For me, there's a few factors that I delight in - his brilliant use and abuse of language and words, the richly imaginative almost dream-like comedic imagery and the intelligence (and respect for intelligence).

Eddie has brought back the rapid-fire whimsy and surrealism of her earlier work, and it's great that she's rediscovered that. 👏

He is right on the money about the Hallelujah bit. I go to Christian mass every Sunday and sometimes I have to stop myself from laughing at how "joyous" we sound lol

I appreciate how many Eddie Izzard jokes mention Jam. I don't know why, but the Jam mentions always give me a good chuckle.

Thank you for posting all the Dressed to Kill excerpts. This is one of my favorite stand up routines of all time. It made me a total Izzard fan. It's almost a shame that the act was so full of call backs that one looses a lot by not seeing it from beginning to end.

As a ex Catholic the observation about church of England sermons is spot on 😆 the first church of England service I ever attended (for a christening) felt more like a women's institute meeting rather than church . The complete lack of verses about fire and brimstone and turning wine into blood was most disappointing 😂

It extenuates facial expression and only works in his favor as he makes some of his jokes work thru expression alone! Truly one of the greats!

Omg, it's so true!!! Seriously, he described exactly how we sing hymns in my church. He's brilliant, lol!
