Trivia

Eddie's stage prop is a very large open book with selections of text from various examples of classical fiction projected onto the pages. Selections include "The Proposal" by Anton Chekhov, William Shakespeare's "Macbeth", Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" and "The Mayor of Casterbridge" by Thomas Hardy. In all selections of text every word "the" is replaced by "definite article." Hence the title of the video production. For instance: "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:" is replaced by, "'Twas brillig, and definite article slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in definite article wabe:" See more »

Brilliance before fame dimmed his stand up star.
4 March 2008 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

This to me is the definitive Eddie Izzard show, it is one that showcases his ability to just run with a topic and spin off into all sorts of directions, it is here that he had an edge that I personally don't think he has ever quite reached since.

Izzard has this cute way of being able to tap into subjects that we can all associate with. Remember those daft sayings,? the school trips,? standing in a petrol station queue at night time,? or the madness of supermarket shopping? He is also one of those comics that can visually get you laughing out loud with his mimes bringing to life the most ridiculous of stories.

This remains one of my favourite stand up shows of all time because it still works on repeat viewings, and my joy is only shortened by the knowledge that to me personally, Izzard let his standards slip the bigger he got.

Definite Article is Definitive Izzard. 9/10 "so yeah"
