Movie Reviews of Eddie Izzard - Glorious
Movie Review: Hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have Eddie Izzard's five shows that are on iTunes in audio form, and this one is my favourite. I decided to get it on DVD because he uses some visual humour to go with the verbal, and I did not regret getting this DVD. He is hilarious. That's all there is to it. He's the best stand-up comedian there is, and this is his best work. I can't say what his best routine is because they're all so awesome. I recommend to anyone who likes a good laugh to buy this awesome show of his.
Summary of Eddie Izzard - Glorious
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"Glorious" was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon during his sell-out tour in 1997 after Izzard debuted the show in New York.
