HBO Eddie Izzard comedy special

[thingsgoinon]

Did anyone get the chance to see this when it was on a few months back? This guy is HILLARIOUS!!!!!!!! He is hands down the funniest comedian I've seen in YEARS...the next Pryor/Carlin in my book.

And don't forget they also had some guns...lent to them by the NRA http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Oh I gotta find a tape of this...they re-run it sometimes, but this show can bring me up from the deepest down, I need to have it on hand ..hehe

"If a film did any bit of business in America, Hollywood would take it, remake it, up the budget by fifty million and it would be called...'A Room with a View of HELL'!"

I taped this when HBO first showed it in 1999, and I watch it at least twice every year. It's funny as all hell, only further proof that Eddie Izzard is one of the funniest men alive. Him and Denis Leary should do a benefit performance together. It'd make a mint.

You know he's an excellent comedian when he can do 15 minutes of material in French and it's funny, even though you can't understand a word. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

He's great and truly funny. My favorite thing about him is how he'll say a joke and then have another joke along time after that relates to the 1st one.

Then congratulates the audience on getting the second joke.

Dress To Kill is his finest hour but his other concert films "Unrepeatable", "Definite Article" and "Glorious" are nearly as funny

Eddie Izzard is an extremely funny bloke...got to admit!

Original, Absurd, Highly talented..and a genuine Gent to boot!

But I certainly don't favour him being associated with Denis friggin' Leary!

Leary has merely plagurised the vast majority of his "act" from Bill Hicks...

Hicks was a genius...It fucks me off that a second-rate "comedian" has managed to make a living from someone elses jokes!

I probably wouldn't mind if his performance was in the same bloody league...sadly it is nowhere near!
