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!!!
Eddie Izzard has this amazin ability to say just enough to paint this absurd new world and make you fill in the gaps and suddenly you find yourself in this crazy world just laughing at the absurdity of it all amd it's just timeless
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

"Hey you kids...never suck the juice out of a tractor."
That's a quote for the ages! LOL
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!!!
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
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 :)
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!
Genius! He is the coolest!
Probably the best Eddie Izzard stand-up (IMO) - Definite Article.
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
He really is the Lost Python. If we could only turn back time and add him to the group.
I LOVE him! saw him the first time by accident 15 or so years ago in "Dress to kill" & was hooked!
A brilliant, talented and beautiful man. ❤️❤️❤️
HOLY GOD AT THE BIRD SCENE I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING xD
brilliant! seen him live several times and always had a ball.
Utter UTTER BRILLIANCE! His mimes are 😂 hilarious a mynah bird in First Class 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
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
He isn't even wearing a dress, he is wearing classy trousers made out of 100% recycled bin-bags. I love Eddie Izzard. x3
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.
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.
i love how he says Hello :)
I LOVE EDDIE IZZARD!!!
his miming really is top-notch
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.
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.
He actually looks really hot.
LOL I love the bird part! It's so absurd it's hilarious! xD
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'!
I can just see him walking down the street in that outfit. Looking cool.
With a mynah bird on his shoulder
It's pretty cool how he actually was carted as Long John Silver for a short BBC TV series
I just REALLY want that outfit 🤩😍
Hilarious, and great pants + boots.
I watch him 24/7 everyweek
1:44 everyone who goes on tangents will know this feeling!
lol "what a wanker, who's he? He's eating a match"
Hes an Executive ACTION Transvestite!!!!
He is a funny dude....XD
I love his act, damned funny aye
I do hope Eddie still has that Jacket!!!!!!! Xxx
My sides hurt from laughing XD
His fashion circle is brilliantly apt.
"Ooh look at that sunset" :)
Priceless
white wine please :) thats my favourite bit
Absolutely brilliant
Had me in tears. :-)
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!
4:47 bird flying in airplane had me dying omg 😂🤣🤣
so good at voices
Sometimes he looks a lot like Tony Curtis. When Tony was alive, of course.
I saw him at the Hollywood Bowl...amazing
oooooooooh look at that sunset :D
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.
That was a very random show, hilarious.
Love!
And an Action Transvestite as well!
Excellent scetch. You have to know when to say " cut"
"And err…yeah."
its almost as if he improvises every show he does :P fucking love him !
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
"There`s a pig under the table, with a gun..." LOL
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.
hes git his own style i like him
I have a lazy eye and trust me that is exactly what goes down
I was actually an extra on treasure island with the guy
consummate professional
dude is hilarious.
LOLLL omg this guy is hilarious!
You think he's going to stop at two eye-patches, but then he goes for three. :P
first 15 seconds BAM! made me laugh :D ah love him
Wonder if those are the same birds that decided to go on bird strike a few shows earlier.
He looks remarkably like Meg Ryan in this show.
Q: How do you take trite, schlocky observational comedy about airline travel and make it HILARIOUS?
Eddie: Hold my white wine...
The eye patch doesn’t go on the lazy eye it goes on the over active one!😂
It certainly is The Definite Article - just genius
little did he know he would be playing a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder in the future.
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? ??
This is from 'Definite Article'.
Actually... didn't the eye patch go over the *strong* eye, to force the "lazy" eye to get stronger...
I keep picturing him as 'It' from Five children and It...
really wanna burst out laughing but everyone will at tech will hear me lol
1:45 THE BEST!!! :)
Exactly.
his southern accent. oh god lol
idk hot!
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.
Watching this in 2022 thinking how the eye patch joke can be modernized the same way with face masks in the COVID-19 world.
If I ever get a parrot, I'm going to teach it to say random prices.
"He had a pirate on his shoulder?"
He recently played john silver LOL makes it extra funny for me..
Damn funny
I think he was referring to the "their", but, of course, I can't be sure.
I kinda expected that the bird outside would eventually get sucked in the engine :D
I hate getting stung by a wasp. It hurts! It only happened once, a long time ago. But be careful!
he mentions Long John Silver having an eye patch yet his version of Long John has no eye-patch but he does have a big ass parrot
@MrsDalek Not "Miner bird," but Myna Bird. As in Hill Myna Birds. They're very good at talking.
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.
Also an Action Transvestite!
We got some good rowan atkins level miming there
