Eddie Izzard: Glorious

Eddie Izzards talents have taken him far beyond any one else in the comedy industry. This movie will not make you stop laughing and its the kind of thing that you can watch over and over again and can make you smile when you thought you could not!His quick wit and his genius ability to ties lose ends up and to make everything fit together gives you a sense that this guy is not just up there for money or for fame, he is up there because he has a talent to make people laugh, and genually that's a rare thing to be able to come back and to continuously get such a positive response about it Thanks Eddie Chiao...

Not quite as polished as Dress to Kill, Glorious is still a good example of the quick wit and intelligent observations that Izzard is known for. The quality of the video interferes with the viewer's enjoyment but his commentary still shines through. Moving from the Bible to the Trojan War with side trips through giraffe impressions, you have to see this to truly appreciate Izzard's creativity. Any fan of thought-provoking comedy is in for a good time with this video.

Eddie Izzard's finest hour (or two)... If you've never seen Eddie before, this is where to start. Eddie starts at the beginning of time (Biblically) and ends with Armageddon (out of here). On his way he covers the loophole in the great flood story, death and Death, the Trojan War, Bin Hood (he steals from the comfortable and gives to the moderately impoverished), machines and the end of the world.

Izzard is an example of British humor at it's finest (and sometimes most surreal) taking his influences from the Goons, Tommy Cooper and Monty Python. He is, however, also very unique. No one else I know of rambles in the most entertaining way Eddie does, sometimes losing the plot himself. I've never had the opportunity to see Eddie live, but am sure I will. I bought Glorious, now I've been out and bought the rest of his videos. Every one is a classic, but this will remain my favorite.

Once again Eddie Izzard tackles subjects that the average comedian would not be able to handle. However, Izzard, who could never be called normal, manages to keep the audience in fits of laughter. This is one video which you will be able to watch over and over again.

Eddie Izzard is the smartest stand up I have seen since the early George Carlin material. He leaves no sacred topic untouched (particularly religion). I saw his HBO special, Dress to Kill, and ordered Glorious as soon as I knew about it. It is well worth it.
