Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story

on BBC2 atm...wish I'd watched from the start :( -hopes for a repeat-

OH MY GOD HE IS TALKING TO ROBIN WILLIAMS.
-jizz-

[Stu]

I only recently bought his '7' boxset which contains all his 7 shows [to my knowledge] released to date.

It honestly took me a good few hours before I 'got' him - my previous exposure being purely YouTube clips. Even then he lost my attention span at times but once you get him he is pure genius. You get the feeling that you are not listening to a professional comedian - merely the random trail of thought of a nutter. And that is where the magic lies.

Also I would bang him up the bum into dust. He even looks better with the makeup off. Like a comedians David Bowie!

[Shaun]

-cries over my penchant for men in makeup-
I need to get that boxset - I only have the Circle and the Sexie DVDs.

[Stu]

Dare I tell you they are his two worst shows? [apart from the Stoned Olympics bit in Circle].

Try HMV. I got the seven discs for about 20 quid. Bargain at this time of year!

[Shaun]

Yeah I'll have to get it :p and pah...I love Circle. You're forgetting the Star Wars Canteen :bored:
and I love the Sirens in Sexie...but otherwise that one is a bit irritating (particularly with the horse-galloping at the end)

'Stripped' is on BBC2 tomorrow night at 11:10.
