Review of this CD-

Wonderful. The entire show from the DVD is on here, unlike Dress to Kill where some of the best parts are missing from the CD. I think the performance on here is a little better than the DVD, the audience is definetly better. You don't miss any visual jokes and getting it on CD means you can put it on your I pod and play it for your friends and convert them.The only thing this is missing from the DVD is the glorious pantsuit he wears and the little trailer dealio from "lust for glorious".

Review of Eddie Izzard-

The best comic in the world. If you're sick of Chris Rock screaming obscenities, if your sick of everything being about nothing but sex. If you are sick of things not being funny, find Eddie Izzard and restore your faith in stand up. His humor is smart, clean (other than some swearing) and absolutely hysterical.

Review of Glorious as compared to other shows-

Whereas Unrepeatable was "about" life and Dress to Kill was "about" history, Glorious is "about" religion. If the scale of funny is 1-5, 5 being highest then Dress to Kill is 5, Glorious is 4.7 and Unrepeatable is 4.3.

I first saw Eddie Izzard while watching HBO one Saturday night. The concert was entitled "Dressed to Kill". I had never heard of Eddie before, and by the time it was over, I was wondering what rock I had been dwelling under to have never seen this brilliant comic.

"Glorious", while not quite as even as "Dressed", still left me in tears. The show begins with a Eddie's take on the book of Genesis, then travels on towards the Trojan horse ("Bye! Well done! Here's a horse for you..per usual..Bye!"), takes a hard left into the British Monarchy, shower water temperature and baboons in mime, before ending up in the book of Revelations. And, the encore is probably the funniest 8 minutes of comedy I have seen in a long while.

Intelligent, quick, witty and hip, Eddie Izzard shines thoughout this DVD. Be sure to check out the DVD extras, including the hilarious blow by blow, joke by joke running commentary by Mr. Izzard himself.

I recommend this without hesitation as I know that any fan of comedy will enjoy it! And, at the very least, I'm certain that you'll be quoting it for weeks :).

I am going to keep this short. I am a huge Izzard fan and this is his best work. Glorious on CD is BETTER Than the DVD, better than all of his other (hilarious) material, it is just amazing. Take an amazing romp through the history of the world with Eddie, it is unforgettable, hilarious and intelligent. BUY IT!

Usually Eddie Izzard takes a little while to get into his act, but in Glorious he gets right into it. Starting with the Old Testament, he works his way up through history, including the Trojan War, and Finishing with the New Testament. It definitely is one of his best shows ever.
