Eddie Izzard - Circle
Date undefinedEddie Izzard is easily my favorite comedian.
But circle, was dissappointing, but I'm going to give Izzard a break. "Unrepeatable" "Definite Article" and "Glorious" were performed in England. And in front of his type of crowd (an english crowd) He's a riot. Because he's an englishman, He talks english, so english people get him. "Dress To Kill" was in San Fransisco. And it was a freaking riot. So Eddie Izzard in New York doing "Circle" should be amazing shouldn't it?
Well, within the first 5 minutes of the show there is a heckler and that throws his rhythm off for the entire night. He start bumbling through his show and tripping over his thoughts but not in the charming way that he does in "Dress To Kill". The crowd is kind of silent and when the crowd is silent Eddie resorts to making fun of the fact that he isn't making them laugh and that just digs his hole deeper. The Death Star Canteen was funny, but it could've been so much better. The entirety of the show is a far cry from what he is capable of and he looked uncomfortable and intimidated throughout. If you adore Eddie Izzard you can't help but love the man, but if you want to laugh your kiester off, I'd try any other Izzard DVD.

I love this dvd. I was first introduced to Eddie Izzard's work when I saw his dvd of Dress to Kill and then I couldn't get enough of him. I took this dvd with me to my aunt's house for an extended visit last year and let her borrow it after I left. It took her awhile to tell me that it had been lost, so I've had to buy a second copy. Oh Well! It is my favorite of all his performances (and now I have them all.) If it turns up, they'll have a great dvd to keep. My 13 year old cousin can all but quote the whole show from memory. I can recommend this dvd to anyone who loves Eddie Izzard or to new viewers who just want to laugh really hard for about 2 hours straight.

Date undefinedWe are huge Eddie Izzard fans, have all his cd's and dvd's of concerts, have seen him live twice, love The Riches, but..... This dvd concert is not up to his usual genius. It is funny in parts but he seems disinterested, distracted and almost annoyed with the show. So was I.
