Product Description
From Amazon.com
No one but madcap stand-up comedian Eddie Izzard can spin comic gold out of papal history, monkeys with guns, Jesus preaching to the dinosaurs, and cafeteria food on the Death Star. Circle, taken from his stand-up tour in 2000, doesn't have the astonishingly seamless free-associative flow of Glorious or Dress to Kill, his previous specials--which is to say, he's only intermittently brilliant, instead of supernaturally nonstop brilliant. We'll take what we can get, because Izzard can slip in surprisingly stinging commentary about international politics and religion, yet his impish smile suggests that he's only pointing out the obvious. He tosses out an idea and then plays with it like a cat plays with a mouse, flipping it around, teasing it out, pouncing, and then letting it go, only to sneak back up on it just when you'd forgetten it was there. Cheeky, subversive, and very, very funny. --Bret Fetzer

Yet another Masterpiece,
By "theveganpagan" (pleasant hill, ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eddie Izzard--Circle (DVD)
First, let me say that the previous review by 'leahj10 from Beltsville, Maryland United States' was very funny. Apparently she is under the impression that the Circle Tour in 2000 was an EARLY Izzard tour and that D2K and Glorious came after that. Too funny, as most Izzard fans know that Circle was the most recent tour, as Glorious was in 1997, and Dressed to Kill 98/99, so in fact Circle was after those tours.Also, I was fortunate enought to catch Eddie's 2003 Sexie tour in SF, and eagerly await the US DVD release for this tour. Now, back to the DVD. While it is a bit more polished than the earlier releases, I believe this still warrants addition to all collections of comedy geniuses such as Sellers, Python and Carlin.

Not as good as "Dress To Kill",
By A Customer
This review is from: Eddie Izzard--Circle (DVD)
"Circle" is OK, but I wish I rented it instead of buying it. Highly recommend "Dress To Kill".

This review is from: Eddie Izzard--Circle (DVD)
Got this the day it came out and loved it just as much as I did "Dressed to Kill". I like the trivia track that comes with the show, and I love the case for it.If you like Eddie and you haven't gotten this yet; what are you waiting for?!?! Get it, watch it, love it. Ciao!
