Advantages: Very Funny, Good Special Features Disadvantages: Not Quite As Good As Previous Shows
Eddie Izzard to me is one of the best if not the best stand up comedian I have ever seen. I first became aware of Eddie's talent after I saw Unrepeatable on TV, many years ago now. I became even more aware of this comic genius when I saw his Definite Article show courtesy of Channel Four, albeit with 40 minutes cut.
His previous show Dress To Kill had been a Christmas present and kept up with my high expectations. So I was really looking forward ... ...Fans will know that Eddie has some quite strong anti religious views in his shows. That's not to say religious people will be offended, that's not his style, he's a live and let live kind of person.
One of my favourite parts is when Eddie takes a pop at the Americans with their so called World Series of Baseball. "It's very impressive to win every time in a world event. Perhaps some other country will win it one day, but I doubt it".

Advantages: It's Eddie Izzard! Disadvantages: Not his best work but still good
...admit it, I am an Eddie Izzard fan and have been from his early comedy circuit days so obviously I'm going to love this show. Actually, it's not his best work taken in total, although there are some wonderful pieces within this set.
As usual, Eddie runs the gamut of subjects from the Pope (blasphemy, blas for you…), American gun laws (guns don't kill people, people kill people and monkeys do to [if they have a gun]), Jesus preaching to dinosaurs ... ...that fall flat but thankfully Eddie picks it up again and gets the audience back on his side.
For those of you who haven't seen any Eddie Izzard I wouldn't recommend this as a first viewing as you are more likely to get a handle on his humour from Glorious or Dress To Kill. If you've seen the previous shows, however, this one is a great addition and I can almost guarantee you'll be quoting lines from it.
