Pros: Funny, Endures Well Over Multiple Viewings, Performance
Cons: Opening Sequence, Anticipation of the Future

I was introduced to the comedy of Eddie Izzard by a good friend who was in love with his "Dress To Kill" routine. She had made an audio disc of the performance and played it for me and I was amused. I was informed right then that the actual special ...

Pros: Funniest stand up feature since "Robin Williams at the Met"
Cons: A little long...but not if you have a good sense of humor

After growing up watching stand-up acts from the small time "Live at the Improv" shows to "Paramount Comedy Theater" to the incredible "Bill Cosby: Himself" and "Robin Williams, Live at the Met" I have a more than ample background in comedy. Let me tell...

Pros: Intelligent, spontaneous, laugh-out-loud funny.
Cons: A bit slow in spots. Definitely not for the puritanical. (Rated R for language)

I first saw Eddie Izzard's "Dress to Kill" while the wife and I were channel surfing on New Year's Eve. I had no idea who the guy was, and, to be honest, wasn't initially attracted to a guy in makeup and a dress. It took a couple minutes for me to just ...

Pros: Beyond hilarious, comedy for smart people
Cons: There are none

I adore Eddie Izzard, so this review may be a tad on the biased side. If you ask me, Mr. Izzard can do no wrong. I think he's intelligent, hilarious, and drop dead gorgeous. Dress to Kill is his finest stand-up work, if you ask me. It's an Emmy winner ...

Pros: Witty, very very funny, well-thought-out political/social commentary, engaging
Cons: A bit of swearing. Okay, more than a bit.

Izzard pokes fun at many political and social topics. This performance is part "scripted," part improvisational. I think the best thing about Izzard are the wild tangents that he goes off on. Being a very linear-thinking person, at first I found him ...

Pros: Brilliant, histerical, thought provoking, and in heels!
Cons: very long act, but not nearly long enough

When I first saw this act, My first reaction is who is this guy in a kimono? "In heels as well, yes,.." I have never in my life laughed so hard. Not since Goerge Carlin has anyone struck me so funny.

Eddie Izzard is an extremely brilliant man, who seems to be able to teach history and put on a show all at once. I wish my history teacher was this funny. His expressions were priceless, as were quite a large number of his sets.

I have seen every performance since Dressed To Kill, and have loved every minute of it.
