Any Eddie Izzard fans here?

[Midlodemocrat]

...wondering if perhaps you might know what he has been up to lately?

[tigerbeat]

1. look for him in OCEAN'S TWELVE

he's going to be in that. most of his comedy concerts were just released on DVD as well.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. I've got the concert DVDs, but they are a couple of years old

...I was just thinking that I hadn't seen him in a while. He is so darn funny.

[tigerbeat]

3. he's gigging in LA right now (where i live)....

...as it happens. totally sold out though.

[asthmaticeog]

4. Big Eddie Izzard fan, here.

I understand that Anti Records just put out like 4 concert DVDs. I saw him in concert last year, 'twas much fun.

[Midlodemocrat]

5. He is majorly funny.

We absolutely love him. We have seen the DVDs over and over, and still laugh out loud at them.

[asthmaticeog]

9. I think I've watched "Dressed to Kill" a couple dozen times by now

and it's STILL funny every time.

[GCP]

41. "Cake or Death?"

Brilliant guy!

[sybylla]

6. I adore him

But for the life of me I don't know why. Now that you've brought him up, I'm putting his DVD's on my x-mas list.

[Shakespeare]

7. OH DEAR GOD YES.

Funniest man on the planet.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. His routine about the queen

and Princess Di gets me every time.

and I love Cake or Death?

He is too funny.

[Wheaty]

8. Me

:hi: Here is a fan

I was in the front row center for the Town Hall taping of Circles. You can see me and my friends arms pointing out the speakers as they were blowing out in the DVD extras about all the technical difficulties taping that show. :-)

Hopefully he'll be taking the new stuff he's trying out in LA on the road soon.

10. I love his site so much.

Someone's already said what he's up to, but I just wanted to let folks who don't know about his site know, because it's neat.
Clips and everything.

You gotta love a guy who uses Socrates and Venn (as in Venn diagrams) as part of his routine. I find Eddie enormously attractive as well.

[tigerbeat]

11. REVENGER'S TRAGEDY

you can get this from netflix. it's an adaptation of a thomas middleton play by alex cox with eddie izzard and derek jacobi and it's actually a lot better than i was anticipating. izzard is pretty good in it and cox's direction is pretty fun.

although i think he is, indeed, the funniest man on the planet...there are very few movies that izzard is in that are any good (i mistakenly tried to watch "all the queen's men" once. i still get the dry heaves from that)....so hopefully revenger's tragedy will change that pattern.

"hello, we're murderers. twix please."

[jobycom]

13. I was pulling for him to get the Dr. Who role

Would have been the most exciting Dr. since Tom Baker.

Now if they can find a role for him in Harry Potter.

[roguevalley]

15. his take on vicars having no arms is classic. he's the best.

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. "Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death? "

[Shakespeare]

19. Well, we're fresh out of cake!

We only had three bits, and we didn't expect such a rush.

Well, I'll have the chicken, then!

Tastes of human! There you go, Mr. Hitler....you nazi shithead....

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. "you mean my choice is... or death?"

"Hitler ended up in a ditch covered in petrol on fire... so, that's fun. And that's funny. Because he was a mass-murdering fuck-head! :7"

[Shakespeare]

25. I can't...get...the fucking...trees! AAAH! I will kill EVERYONE!

And Pol Pot is under house arrest...just don't go in that fuckin' house!

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. 12 monkeys mating, 11 donkeys dancing, 10 pygmies farming,

9 socks a-swimming, 5 GOLD RIiIIIINGS!.....

[Shakespeare]

28. And fish in the sky....and a..big...monkey pie...

Just keep confirming and denying! 70% how you look, 20% how you sound, only 10% what you say.

[tigerbeat]

30. helga helga wake up......

....what is it dr. heimlich?

....why are you calling me "dr. heimlich", i'm your husband for fuck's sake? stop being so bloody prussian.

....ok, what is it *gunther*?

....i have invented a maneuver..............

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. "What are you, a bloody tank commander now? "

[Shakespeare]

32. Vat is it, you waking-up-type person?!

The me maneuver....it's not really a maneuver, yet...it's more of a gesture...

[tigerbeat]

33. hoocha hoocha hoocha.........lobster. n/t

[RevolutionaryActs]

34. "I like my coffee hot and strong, like I like my women, hot and strong...

with a spoon in them."

[Shakespeare]

36. Le singe est sur la branche!!!

Quoi?

[Shakespeare]

37. I'll have the penne alla arrabiatta....

You'll need a tray....

16. Eddie Izzard

He's wonderful, original and crazy. Extremely funny. I only wish he hadn't used that repulsive idea about putting babies on spikes. Other than that, he's the funniest and probably the most intelligent comedian around.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. I thought the babies on spikes thing was funny.

He is a comedian after all. I like everything he does.

[Shakespeare]

18. I'm crazy Eddie! You want babies? We've got babies on racks!

Aw, c'mon, it was funny. LOVE the putting-baby-on-spike sound effect he does, too.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. And seriously,

did you not love the thing where he had God talking to him? In that James Mason voice? I am laughing just thinking about it.

[Shakespeare]

24. SO loved that. Have you seen his show "Glorious?"

James Mason is God, and Sean Connery is Noah....Noah wants a speedboat instead of an ark, and he'll put all the long-eared animals along the side of the boat so their ears will blow back in the wind and look cool. Hysterical.

[tigerbeat]

23. "mmm. taste like chicken." nt

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. There is only one problem with this thread...

I really want to see one of his shows now! :(


"You can't land on the moon and say, 'Ooh, it's all sticky! It's covered in jam!' "

[apple_ridge]

26. Bizarre timing! A British friend of mine just gave me two cd's

of his about 2 hours ago. I'm sitting here listening to them and reading the posts.

#@$ hilarious.

[GingerSnaps]

29. I was going to ask the same question yesterday

I love him!

[buddhamama]

35. "Luke. The force is really rather strong with you"

Luke: Oh yeah. How strong?

"As strong as a small pony"

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

38. Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

I poked a badger with a spoon.

[Shakespeare]

39. I've never heard that one before! Five Hail Mary's and two Hello, Dollys!

I'm gonna HAVE to watch D2K tonight...

[RevolutionaryActs]

40. Funniest.... line... yet! *snort*
