Eddie’s Dressed To Kill and Glorious are two of the finest comedy specials I’ve ever seen in a long life filled with lots and lots of stand-up. Just a personal opinion.
I have both albums. Wonderful comedy
Totally, dude!
I concur with your sentiment 100%♡
Australia.
Cake or death?
Also my personal opinion - "cake or deeeath??"
8 minutes is not enough, such a talented and compassionate person
I could listen to her talk about anything all day long.
I agree. 8 mins is too short. I can listen to Eddie for hours!
Yes!! More Izzard, please Late Night
@MsMissy hey TERF 👋 hope you enjoy being a shill for the christofascist industrial complex
@@dolores2716 it is a HIM
I was in hospital for four days, following surgery, and the entire time I was too sick and exhausted to read the books I had brought with me. However, I had discovered Eddie Izzard a year or so before, and had watched and re-watched so many clips on TH-cam, that I lay quietly in my bed, smiling, running those clips through my brain. Whenever I remember those days, I chiefly remember Cake or Death and Star Wars Cafeteria and James Bond Chuckling Like a Dog and Italians Riding Scooters. Eddie Izzard made those painful days bearable, and, in retrospect, funny.
I just have to say, "Ciao."
A hoocha hoocha hoocha .... lobster 🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞 🤣😜
And ''all covered in BEES!!' And ''if bees make honey do spiders make gravy?''! Love Eddie ❤️
I DO NOT NEED A TRAY TO KILL YOU
I have never in my life seen my uncle laugh harder than he did during Death Star Canteen when Vader says, "This is not a game of who the fuck are you."
Eddie's standup has gotten me through plenty of dark times and hard nights, and I so admire everything she does.
I haven’t seen Eddie izzard in a long long time quite a change. But I loved him back then, and I can love her now.💗💗💗

Why are you so invested in how other people identify themselves?
@@maryscottoconnor9711 I just like people and think they should be accepted for who they are we all should be. I’m very overweight not many people except that, even I still have a hard time with it. I think the world would be a lot better if people would just 🐝kinder to each other.
Eddie just excels at everything. Marathon runner, acting, standup comedy, activism. Just incredibly impressive person.
Crap at politics
@@Avidcomp I'm not sure that's a negative. Lol

Eddie Izzard's Dressed to Kill is still my favorite stand up special. I quote it literally almost every day. Love her.
Cake or death!?
I genuinely know what that feels like. I adapted a bit of her timing to make my own droll patter more lively. "You know they will

But do you have a flag?
@@maidenlessjessofchaos4484 I agree and so well said. That special came around in my early 20s and totally altered how I deliver a remark or observation.

Talked soooo fast, but I loved the segment. Very interesting character.
To be able to casually refer to tragedies that motivated life changes in a conversation that was still funny and informative is truly inspiring.
It was so refreshing to listen to a faster spoken conversation with sustenance bc I have trouble focusing, so I was actually able to pay attention and be intrigued. It made my brain happy lol.
We love you Eddie!!!! Absolute comedy legend and social icon!!

Same as I’m sure you’re perfectly aware that you were not biologically created to wear jeans, but you choose to anyway.
And she chooses to break from her biology in another way.
This is not complicated.
Love Eddie SO much. Trailblazer, icon, and at bottom just a lovely wonderful person. Always rooting for her.
@DrZookYou don’t love people if biology is more important to you than their happiness…
I cried, I laughed, I learned something. Stephen sets a high bar for celebrity interviews.

Here's what I love about Eddie: There is no pause between mentioning her many accolades and achievements. There are seldom any pauses for breath.
She's not interested in waited for any confirmation from the audience. That they're there is simply a matter of happenchance. She simply states her case, very matter of factly, and moves on to the next subject.
I have always loved that about her. Definitely on my list of people I would be delighted to meet.
Truly a phenomenal human being.
*happenstance
She's not doing any of this for recognition or gain, she's doing it because it directly benefits someone else.

Yay good for Eddie - 20 years ago when my son was seven we discovered the Star Wars Death star lunch room skit and oh my god did we watch that hundreds of times, what a great person
Lol the first time i saw it. I was so overwhelmed with the awesomeness .i had to watch it multiple times just to take it all in , followed by hundreds more .😃😃😃😃
Eddie is such a gem. A master of smart humor.
Such a gent.
How have I missed out on Eddie Izzard all these years?! What a wonderful human!! 💜
Very intelligent, very worldly, very energetic, very exceptional.

I love Eddie; talent, intelligence, determination, comedy, and compassion: what a mix
I have always had the most respect for Eddie. Awesome human being.
Awesome man?
@@frontenac5083 No
One of the only comedians whose old work is still hilarious. Aged like a fine wine
Yes, very much so.

Eddie Izzard is not only outrageously funny as a stand up, but is a terrific actor and a compassionate soul.
Izzard is so damn intelligent, funny, and such an awesome person. would be a way better world if there were more like Eddie Izzard.
By far the best contemporary comedian! As someone already mentioned, 8 minutes is ridiculously short for such a grandeur!
I had to check that my TH-cam wasn't on double- speed they were talking so fast to make the most of the time! I wish she'd been the main guest.
What a fantastic and superbly funny person, Eddie is. What an international treasure!

Eloquently said. Thank you. 😊
Saw her perform her “Wunderbar” show in San Francisco back in 2019. One of the most fun experiences I ever had and so incredible to see a legendary comedian performing live.
I was there too. The audience even hissed just the same as in Dress to Kill.
@@bobtheskutterbot the audience didn’t hiss when I was there. I assumed it was because Izzard learned from Dress to Kill to not call San Francisco “Frisco”. But that’s still very funny. Gotta love the city of snakes.

My only experience I have with Great Expectations is from the South Park episode. I can’t wait to see how Eddie does the robot monkeys
One person show of great expectations is just WILD!! Only Eddie could do it. What a power house!
I want to see this so bad! Great Expectations was one of my favourite books, and I would love to see how Eddie does a one-person show of it. Although I think it'd be hard not to be expecting her to make absurdist comedy out of all of the dialogue ...
Izzard's look here strongly reminds me of Tony Curtis in Some Like it Hot.
Pat Butcher for me.
I was thinking Ursula the sea witch!
It’s so refreshing to hear from someone who’s had struggles with their sexual identity and determined to be positive & proactive, using comedy. Good for her!
If I may offer a nitpick, gender identity*
But I agree, good for her!
"Her" identity, not their. Eddie (currently) uses She/Her.
@@maryk3458 their is always acceptable as it's neutral.
@@lavenderoh unless one is aware of the person’s preferred pronouns. And since Stephen introduced Eddie using “she,” and because her pronouns are now common knowledge, it is the respectful thing to do to refer to her with she/her.
And if one was unaware of said preferred pronouns, the reply that shows you respect the use of preferred pronouns would be something like “noted, thanks for the correction,” rather than arguing why you chose to use the term you used.
@@maryk3458 (sigh) You can always, still, refer to a person as 'them', regardless of their gender identity.
It's a third person pronoun.

I can understand the idea of not being happy with how you are, but going from that to deciding that you must therefore be a thing that you have never experienced being is a leap far past the bounds of reason. Why is being a woman a solution? Why doesn't he self-identify as a giraffe? The King of Belgium? What more does he know about being a woman than being those things?

uniqueness. You are or are not unique. Unique means one of a kind. How could you be more one of a kind than someone else?

That's a man in a dress and there's no such thing as a nonbinary person.Everyone has a feminine and masculine side.Ever heard of tomboys?
@@Anna-vl8qc and how does the way someone describes themselves affect you exactly?
@@Anna-vl8qc Tomboys absolutely exist! So do butches, and drag kings, and he/him lesbians, and other gender nonconforming women. There are also men who choose to act, and present in feminine ways in all the same ways women can present in masculine ways. There are also those who are born with chromosomes, and/or body parts that don't match up with the binary representation of sex and gender as modern Western culture understands it.
Did you know that the concept of a third gender predates the written word in some cultures? Isn't that amazing? Did you know that one of the most prominent nonbinary individuals in the formation of the USA* was a Quaker, and member of the clergy? They used a singular they/them, and referred to themself as the universal friend. And they were well respected! Their pronouns, their name and their body were treated according to their wishes when they died. If a people known for being intolerant and straight laced can do this, I have every confidence that you can learn to love people for who they really are, and not resent them for the bodies they were born into.
I know that learning new things is hard, and that people get aggressive when defending their right to exist, but I also know that a little patience can make all the difference. I'm not going to argue with you. I just hope you know that you're loved, and that people will gladly answer your questions if you know how to ask them. I hope you have a wonderful December!

@@MurdocsMinion Brilliantly put. I salute your patience. 🙌🏼
@@MurdocsMinion I don't know how you have the patience to wrote out such a thoughtful reply to someone so thoughtless but good on you, such a great response 💜
I have admired Eddie forever. And even more so after watching this.
Absolutely love Eddie ♡
Colbert's cool points just went up having her on the show.
Her?
Problems with grammar or with your eyes?
@@frontenac5083 problem with you being transphobic or Daft not sure..
And judging by the other comments that you've made on this video I'd say it's both a daft transphobic.
Transphobic ? What a daft label . Normally , it's been called realistic, down to earth concept . You have a dick , or you don't . That simple . Person with a beard and a bra looks ridiculous and grotesque . That simple. We don't want to discriminate anybody, but please keep to your private parties. Or show business . Comes to the same thing
Baked Beans
Transphobic ?!
If you ever feel like giving up (on life, on humanity, or on whatever it may be), all you have to do is to watch/listen to Eddie and she'll change your mind.
Her old shows got me through some rough times. Glad to see Eddie is still doing her thing!

Eddie is 110% delightful every time I see her.
I absolutely LOVE Eddie Izzard! Been a fan since Unrepeatable and Definite Article. Had a crush for at least as long!
Can you imagine how hilarious parliment will become with someone as witty as Eddie in the mix? Obviously she will do her job and serve her constituants but god damn, to see Eddie Izzard take on JRM. Please please please let it happen.
You're going to have to imagine it as Eddie failed to become an MP last week
@@RobS1972 She said she was going to keep running though.
@@TheJoker137 Marathons probably
@@RobS1972 Tell us you didn't watch the whole clip without saying " I didn't watch the whole clip ;-) "
I have always been a big fan of Eddie!! So happy to catch up on her recent adventures! ♥️💕
Being from Sheffield It would have be awesome to have the lovely Eddie as our MP.
Eddie looks amazing. So glad she's still going strong. Always been a fan.
He looks like a leaky trash bag
Dressed to kill is my favorite stand up special of all time. I loved her in the riches. She is a masterpiece.

Once upon a time, HBO would give you a free weekend where you could watch unscrambled programming. And one fateful weekend in 1999, I saw “Dress to Kill,” and it changed my life. It never occurred to me that it was odd that she was a man wearing women’s clothes and makeup; she was so smart and funny that it never occurred to me that it even mattered.
