Eddie Izzard - Glorious Review

Oh my goodness, Eddie Izzard has given me more joy than I can probably properly put into words. First off, I should establish that I am a total anglophile and I love all manner of British things. Yes he's a transvestite, but don't be put off by his appearance. He is intelligent, so bloody intelligent, and he weaves history, religion, philosophy, and myth into his comedy. It's very off the cuff and improvisational. I love that Eddie isn't harsh or mean in his humor, although he is blatantly liberal minded, so be warned! I have no problem with that myself, and if you don't either definitely give Eddie a chance. He is culturally and politically critical but in a hilarious way...he opens one's eyes to double standards and injustices while making you laugh till your sides hurt. I wouldn't just recommend Glorious, but every DVD or CD or video Eddie has put out. Unfortunately some of his material is not available in America, but find whatever you can on Youtube. I've also seen him live and would advise seeing him in person!! Not to be missed!
