Monday’s Guilty Pleasure: Eddie Izzard’s Dressed To Kill

September 27th, 2004

Filed under: General

Dressed To KillEddie Izzard is the funniest stand-up comedian working today. Dressed to Kill is the best of his “concert” DVDs, though Circle is quite funny as well. If you didn’t get a chance to catch his show when it ran on HBO, make sure you catch it on DVD.

Highlights of the act include the bits on imperialism (“Do You Have a Flag?”), Scooby-Doo, and Stonehenge. My absolutely favorite part is his take on the Heimlich Maneuver (“It’s not really a maneuver, more of a gesture really.”).

For comic book fans, he played one of the villains (Tony P – the Disco guy) in Mystery Men.

    Seconded.

    “Glorious” and “Circle” are also fantastic. He has two other albums, the names of which escape me as I do not as yet own them.

    I saw Glorious on TV years ago, but it hasn’t come out on DVD yet… Circle is on DVD and very funny, but Dressed to Kill is still the best (IMHO).

    Thanks to HBO runing it incessantly over the last couple of years, I’m very tired of Dressed To Kill and am ready for something new. But I will say that the first fifty-seven or so times I saw it, DTK was absoulutely hilarious!
