British comedian Eddie Izzard wears makeup, platform heels, and a shimmering magenta suit in Glorious, a video of his standup act filmed in England. Izzard takes a little bit of Robin Williams, a little bit of Jerry Seinfeld, even a little bit of Bob Newhart, but the final mix is absolutely his own and dizzily funny. It's not so much the subjects of his humor--though not many comics make jokes about classical mythology or evil giraffes--as it is the way he fluidly skips from thing to thing in a madcap free-associative whirl. He lulls you by seeming casual and almost sloppy, but when he needs to be precise his gestures and mimicry are razor sharp. There have been a million tired jokes made about trying to get a shower to stay at the right temperature, but Izzard manages to make even that funny. He's even funnier when he's imitating Sean Connery as Noah, trying to convince God that a speedboat would make a much better photo opportunity than an ark, or playing a beekeeper flirting with someone passing on the street. Much of the giddiness comes from his astounding sense of spontaneity. Half the show seems to have been made up on the spot, and if it wasn't, you boggle wondering how he could have possibly written something so ridiculous and yet appropriate. Though he uses a number of four-letter words, his humor is surprisingly clean, and even the most frank vulgarities seems like a bit of impish innocence coming out his mouth. Glorious indeed. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Eddie Izzard - Glorious

Gotta love Eddie Izzard
Having seen "Definite Article," and his one-man NYC show "Dress to Kill" twice, I rather enjoyed "Glorious". Although DA is one of Izzard's best, and includes the classic moment of Mother Nature teaching sex to animals, Glorious has the beautiful "Covered in Bees" riff. Not to mention Izzard's take on the bible is one of the best I've heard so far. True, Glorious is not one of his best, but it is the only one of his videos available in American VHS format (other than bootlegs you can maybe convince your friend to get). And as to continuity of thought, I've never found Izzard big on that, it's jsut that he's so full of digressions and random leaps of logic and flights of fancy that he's delightful.

The one low point in the video is the end of the second set (About the airplane). But right after it is the fantastic bit about computers. END


A funny video
Though some moments may seem slow, not a whole lot of moments, there is some brilliant, charming, and innocent, hilarious moments in this video. What he says about toasters, showers, comptuers, and mythology is really funny. It's not his best; I enjoyed "Dress to Kill" more, but "Glorious" is definitely worth it. It's a mystery whether or not the show is spontaneously performed (ad-libbed) or if it's actually prepared, because it skips and jumps and rambles and moves around quickly and funnily. I recommend it to everybody. Though many people fear watching a British transvestite, you forget that he's a transvestite by the first five minutes into the act, because it's hilarious. Though some people may think it long and ever-going and somewhat boring, it is for those who liked other Eddie Izzard acts, Monty Python, and something completely different, and really brilliant. Ah, screw it, I recommend it to everyone! It's one of the best I've seen!


Dressed to Kill
It is amazing how talented this man is. He is a genius! The words flow in rythmic pattern of excellence from his lips in this historical journey through the age of Indian warfare to the physicallity of the royal family being a bit "frumpy" in the ages passed by.
