About the Artist

What do Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, Bob Newhart, Barbara Sinatra, Elvis Costello, Harry Dean Stanton, Dick Martin, Rebecca DeMornay, Larry Gelbart and Angie Dickinson all have in common? They were all backstage on the same night after seeing British comedian, actor and executive transvestite EDDIE IZZARD perform in Los Angeles on his last tour. They are all a part of Eddie's eclectic fan base.

Product Description

In his native England, Eddie Izzard has been called, "the greatest British stand-up comedian...of his generation," The LA Times Says: "He walks onstage to the roaring tumult usually reserved for rock stars and soon has the audience busting a gut about the Spanish Inquisition and chaos theory. Such is the phenomenon of Eddie Izzard, funniest man, in, well, pretty much all of the known universe." Now you can catch Eddie Izzard on DVD with Circle a comedy concert film you'll never forget!

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius with a monkey and a gun!, April 3, 2004

This review is from: Circle (Audio CD)

With the entire Eddie Izzard catalog inherently being compared to "Dress to Kill" by fans everywhere, the performance made by our favorite Executive Transvestite in "Circle" definitely gives D2K a run for it's Oscar money.

At the very beginning, a catchy bit of theme music sets the attitude for the beginning of the show. Eddie's irreverence shines brightly in the very first seconds of his dialogue ("Hi, welcome to New York... you probably live here...?") What follows is a cataclysmic roller coaster that takes you from Pope Man (and his sidekick Alter Boy, armed with Holy Water and Jesus Disks) to a universe that is awesome like a hot dog!

Eddie's delivery isn't close to perfect, which is what makes his performance perfect. His free-flowing thought keeps you captivated for the entire show. To go from organ players at Baseball games to the meek deciding that they don't need to inherit the Earth? You'll wonder how you ever got there, but you'll laugh the entire time.

My only recommendation would be to see the DVD of this show first. It's not a big deal (the show is incredible either way) but to understand all the physical segments beyond audio comprehension, the DVD is a must. Either way, "Circle" is a seamless performance that is, simply put, "awesome" (like a hot dog.)
