yeah great comment, topical and observational comedy dates easily doesn't it, the world moves on from current events and current life practices almost daily. whereas someone acting funny and acting out parts is clever and entertaining as well as effing funny ha
He's Brilliant...once I saw him, I was hooked!! Had to talk to everyone bout him!! Love his gestures, the back n forth dialogue btwn "two people", his mastery of accents, etc...and his costume...Crazy!!!
Really great comedian. When he was talking about eye patches though, I swear I thought he would say: "one eye patch... looking quite cool, two eye patches... no looking at all"
I believe I shall buy my GF several of his outfits. That way she can walk around the house dressed like one of the great comic genius of all time and I can giggle at her as she walks by.
Sailors didn't wear eyepatches because of injury, they wore them to preserve vision before sunglasses. A navigator would rest one eye in case they needed to look at a detail out on the horizon and needed visual acuity.
As I studied performance theory and performance this performance to when I saw you in Liverpool in 2013 it is slicker and moves at a more metered out pace. REpunk
they found that covering one eye makes the pigment in the eye that detect light stronger, therefore making it easier to see in the dark, not by much but they said that it was a plausible explaination, I just think they look cool.
When asked about his clothes, Izzard actually describes himself as a "lesbian in a man's body" But as far as I've seen him, he only wears women's clothes when performing stand-up comedy, in any other situation he's just plain, normal and funny guy.
Well, don't you sound like a delight. 'Some people' missed one joke out of an entire show in a different language than their mother tongue. We're very sorry this made you bitter.
The image of a bird outside a 747 watching a bird inside a 747 ordering a white wine..... priceless. Thank you Eddie Izzard.
Reminds me of that image of the inside of the plane with all the Saudi royals each one having a falcon. All those birds inside of a plane.
'They're having white wine.......with steak?'
@@Tao_Tology birds know very little about gastronomy
I love the fact that Eddie's skits/shows never seem dated, they're all still as funny as they were when first performed

That's not a costume, he's a transvestite
+theferryyman
Why are you wearing that human costume?
Executive transvestite!
Ellen Felker Same I can't stop quoting him and referencing his material cause it's just so damn good
Executive tranvesuit
One of my favorite comedians of all time.
Love em.
Has to be my all time fav. This show, dress to kill, glorious and live at the ambassadors are all gold!
"Hey you kids...never suck the juice out of a tractor."
That's a quote for the ages! LOL
His miming is so exquisite ^_^
That's what I adore about Eddie Izzard, he can go from talking about looking cool to parrots on planes absolutely seamlessly :)
Probably the best Eddie Izzard stand-up (IMO) - Definite Article.
Genius! He is the coolest!
A brilliant, talented and beautiful man. ❤️❤️❤️
brilliant! seen him live several times and always had a ball.
I LOVE him! saw him the first time by accident 15 or so years ago in "Dress to kill" & was hooked!
HOLY GOD AT THE BIRD SCENE I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING xD
Really great comedian. When he was talking about eye patches though, I swear I thought he would say: "one eye patch... looking quite cool, two eye patches... no looking at all"
dude, same
I really needed a laugh today. Thanks, Eddie.
Me too
"I haven't got fingers, could you cut this up, please?"
-> One of the best quotes ever! :D
Utter UTTER BRILLIANCE! His mimes are 😂 hilarious a mynah bird in First Class 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
He really is the Lost Python. If we could only turn back time and add him to the group.
LOL I love the bird part! It's so absurd it's hilarious! xD
Ahh - Eddie - may I say what wonderful and fabulous this man is - I love his mainstream integration for such a wildly free soul - keep it real son.
Thank you Eddie Izzard! I don't know how many tractors I would have sucked if you didn't tell me that! All of them maybe!? Thank god for you!
He isn't even wearing a dress, he is wearing classy trousers made out of 100% recycled bin-bags. I love Eddie Izzard. x3
I LOVE EDDIE IZZARD!!!
i love how he says Hello :)
Hilarious, and great pants + boots.
Love him! :)
I believe I shall buy my GF several of his outfits. That way she can walk around the house dressed like one of the great comic genius of all time and I can giggle at her as she walks by.
I just REALLY want that outfit 🤩😍
Absolutely brilliant
He actually looks really hot.
1:44 everyone who goes on tangents will know this feeling!
I watch him 24/7 everyweek
How do YOU mime a tractor that's had all the juice sucked out of it
Very carefully, so as not to offend any tractors.
***** It sure isn't.
Priceless
Had me in tears. :-)
I do hope Eddie still has that Jacket!!!!!!! Xxx
It's pretty cool how he actually was carted as Long John Silver for a short BBC TV series
4:47 bird flying in airplane had me dying omg 😂🤣🤣
My sides hurt from laughing XD
Isn't it marvelous that he can be hysterical without once dropping the eff bomb!
i think he did when talking about the lazy eye but yes he is quite reserved on the whole.
He does and it's fucking funny everytime.
white wine please :) thats my favourite bit

Fuck I love Eddie and this is the best outfit I have seen him in - definitely more 'hip and groovy' than 'looking like a dickhead'!
lol "what a wanker, who's he? He's eating a match"
Excellent scetch. You have to know when to say " cut"
Hes an Executive ACTION Transvestite!!!!
I love his act, damned funny aye
his miming really is top-notch
so good at voices
I can just see him walking down the street in that outfit. Looking cool.
With a mynah bird on his shoulder
He is a funny dude....XD
I saw him at the Hollywood Bowl...amazing
"Ooh look at that sunset" :)
Sometimes he looks a lot like Tony Curtis. When Tony was alive, of course.
His fashion circle is brilliantly apt.
oooooooooh look at that sunset :D
As I studied performance theory and performance this performance to when I saw you in Liverpool in 2013 it is slicker and moves at a more metered out pace. REpunk
That was a very random show, hilarious.

Love!
This is from 'Definite Article'.
And an Action Transvestite as well!
I was actually an extra on treasure island with the guy
consummate professional
Why is this thing that every time I see him, I see Pink, and back?!...
Is it me, or more of You think that they are so much alike? ??
@MrsDalek Not "Miner bird," but Myna Bird. As in Hill Myna Birds. They're very good at talking.
Actually... didn't the eye patch go over the *strong* eye, to force the "lazy" eye to get stronger...
I think he was referring to the "their", but, of course, I can't be sure.
first 15 seconds BAM! made me laugh :D ah love him
hes git his own style i like him
Wonder if those are the same birds that decided to go on bird strike a few shows earlier.
its almost as if he improvises every show he does :P fucking love him !
I have a lazy eye and trust me that is exactly what goes down

Q: How do you take trite, schlocky observational comedy about airline travel and make it HILARIOUS?
Eddie: Hold my white wine...
LOLLL omg this guy is hilarious!
I think this is from Definite Article.
"And err…yeah."
I keep picturing him as 'It' from Five children and It...
Watching this in 2022 thinking how the eye patch joke can be modernized the same way with face masks in the COVID-19 world.
He looks remarkably like Meg Ryan in this show.
dude is hilarious.
Exactly.
1:45 THE BEST!!! :)
We got some good rowan atkins level miming there
You think he's going to stop at two eye-patches, but then he goes for three. :P
It certainly is The Definite Article - just genius
Where is his god damn microphone I cant seem to find it anywhere!!!!
+Hollyweed In the middle of his forehead just under his hairline
andyjamess lmfao 😂😂😂 wtf
really wanna burst out laughing but everyone will at tech will hear me lol
He recently played john silver LOL makes it extra funny for me..
I hate getting stung by a wasp. It hurts! It only happened once, a long time ago. But be careful!
@marixdella I'm not British and I know that....but I'm Canadian hehe but I use British words sometimes x)
little did he know he would be playing a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder in the future.
his southern accent. oh god lol
idk hot!
Damn funny
I thought it was for better sight at night... but your remark is also sound...
the fact that he said you put the patch over your lazy eye annoys me more than it probably should
where would u put it
+Mark France The good one! You're trying to make the lazy one work :p
How was that part of the joke?
It's "lazy". It wanted a "snooze". It's like a small blanket for the eye.
Well, don't you sound like a delight.
'Some people' missed one joke out of an entire show in a different language than their mother tongue. We're very sorry this made you bitter.
What was that bird in the plane called?
He is funny though
Also an Action Transvestite!
"He had a pirate on his shoulder?"
