Storyline

Edit

Town Hall, New York City, 26 June 2000. An evening with Eddie Izzard in which he moves back and forth in time, with religion as the loose but constant theme. He begins with Pope John Paul II, and then criss-crosses to Pius XII, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades and Jerusalem, the world's five major religions, the Dark Ages, Jesus, and the future. Along the way, Izzard makes observations about guns and monkeys, the World Series, the NRA and the IRA, mad cows, Socrates, the Stoned Olympics, the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, and the Mona Lisa. Izzard wears black nylons, black leather pants, a black jacket and a diamond necklace. —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

Quotes
Eddie: [as Jesus, talking about the last supper] Well, what would you have done?
Eddie: [as God] I would have done cheese and wine, cheese and wine goes together much better than bread and wine. "Eat this cheese for it is my body."
Eddie: [as Jesus] But it's Judea, Dad. Cheese melts.
Eddie: [as God] Alright then, "Eat this cheese for it is my central nervous system." Hmmmm. Alright, alright, "Now eat these chicken drumsticks, for they are my legs, eat these carrots, they are my arms, eat this tomato, it is my head, and eat these oysters, they are my kneecaps."
Eddie: [as Jesus] If you do that Dad, your holy community is going to have priests with big trays yelling, "Who ordered the Body of Christ?"

one of his best

Don't remember exactly in which order I saw his stand-up routines (none of them live though), but I am sure it was not in chronological order. I think it started with glorious. So maybe the order you see them influences your opinion cause I am (now) a die-hard fan of Eddie's stand-up but I seem to disagree with most other fan's that this is actually almost his best piece. My order would be: 1) Definite article 2) Circle 3) Glorious 4) Dress to kill 5) Unrepeatable 6) Sexie (which was not great actually, to say the least). Haven't seen live at the ambassadeur yet though but I suspect it will knock Sexie of that list. One other thing of course might be that this was actually recorded in the US as opposed to most of the others.
