#EDDIE IZZARD UNREPEATABLE DVD TV#

There's also no evidence of any serious problems with the transfer. Why not make it anamorphic? This is another dark background show, but Izzard's outfit is too, so there's not much in terms of color bleeding. The recent releases of Izzard's older shows, 'Unrepeatable' and 'Definite Article', were both in full-screen, and this disc is no different, which is odd, since 'Glorious' is in letterboxed widescreen. The special features menu includes an option to choose a bleeped soundtrack that makes the show rather family friendly. Of the three recent Izzard discs, this is the best-designed DVD. In a nice touch, the cursor is a spray of stars, fitting in with the show's style. A choice of English, Spanish and French menu options and subtitles opens the disc, followed by a nicely animated full-screen menu with chapter selections, subtitles and special features options. An impressive 10-page booklet is included, with a lengthy article/interview with Izzard and a listing of chapter stops. 'Glorious' is a one-disc release, packed in a keepcase. Myself, I like my comedy the way I like my womenвЂ¦covered in bees! Though he tells some very informed jokes, like his thoughts about the Trojan War, I think his comedy is very accessible, as long as you can look past the whole guy-in-make-up thing. His imitation of Noah sawing/punching a baboon slays me, despite it being such a simple bit. For such an intellectual comic, at times, when he makes noises, I find it funnier than when he's telling biblical tales. Even when he makes zero sense (as in the cake on Gran's head (something I've never understood)), the way he tells the joke makes it funny. fans by Anglo slang, but somehow he is able to sell a bit, no matter what. I think it's safe to say there's nothing he couldn't make funny.Д«eing British, he runs the risk of his jokes being killed for U.S.

Among the hall-of-fame segments in 'Glorious' are Noah and the baboon, his take on old women and death, technojoy and the office life of beekeepers (one of his all-time best.) He even dissects the death of Princess Di, comparing it to the sudden cancellation of your favorite TV show. 'Glorious' has all the hallmarks of a great Izzard performance, including his James Mason (as God) and Sean Connery (as Noah) imitations, his animal bits, jam and the informed history jokes. His every move and sound seems calculated to draw laughs, and they do. His make-up, which draws focus to his eyes and mouth, amplifies their effect in his show, an important feature when he's playing to a big audience like the one filling the ridiculously-named Hammersmith Labatts Apollo on this DVD. I think I've figured out the secret to Eddie Izzard's success, and I think he shares it with the art of Kabuki theater and clowns. Izzard does it again.and looks good doing it
