Product Description

From Amazon.com

In Dress to Kill, Eddie Izzard spins free-flowing jokes about San Francisco (where the comedy concert was filmed), transvestitism, squirrels, American optimism, Hitler, the British royal family, mass murder, and Stonehenge--and that's only the first 30 minutes. It's as if this ingenious comedian says whatever comes off the top of his head, but giving that impression demands cunning and skill; Izzard romps through human history and transforms surprisingly complex ideas into biting satire--as well as knockout bits of sublime frivolity, like describing the movie Speed entirely in French. His mercurial patter is sprinkled with four-letter words, but his twinkling glances make this more mischievous than crude. Izzard has delivered some excellent performances in movies (like Velvet Goldmine and The Cat's Meow), but it's on stage that he really explodes with daffy wit and charisma. Simply brilliant and completely addictive; you will want to watch this over and over. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Undisputed British Champ in standup comedy, Oct 7 2004

This review is from: Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill (DVD)
Eddie is terrific and absolutely cheeky. His humor is fresh and he has an uncanny ability to keep the crowd perked-up and delivers comedic subjects that are intertwine along the way.

Simply Marvelous.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true genius!, July 18 2004

This review is from: Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill (DVD)
Having spent 11 years in England, I can dig english humor very well. But, being born in France, I can also respect that Eddie Izzard having done his show in France, in french has got some bottle. His sense of humor is just incredible: he is a true intellectual and I can tell you that he is pure quality. You cannot be disapointed...This man is more than full of talent and you will cry of laughter!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious History Lesson, July 15 2004
By 
Brennon A. Slattery (Somerville, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill (DVD)
For over 2 hours, Eddie Izzard will keep you informed and, more importantly, in stitches.

I've seen several Eddie Izzard tapes and DVDs. I've even seen him live in Dublin, Ireland for his "Sexie" tour. And "Dress to Kill" is by far his best. He rarely falters in his comedy or ad-libbed genius. And whenever he does, he makes it into a joke that'll keep the momentum of the performance going strong.

It's hard to review a stand-up routine. Let's just say that his is one of the better ones. You get an unique perspective on the American Dream, landing on the moon, transvestites in the military, squirrels in make-up, Easter, Stonehenge, President Clinton, first sexual experiences and so on. This is truly a keeper, one you can watch over and over again. It's also highly quotable; you may find yourself repeating random lines from the performance, only to be effronted by a non-viewer.

"You haven't seen 'Dress to Kill' yet?" you say incredulously, right before bringing them to your house for an immediate viewing. Convert all of your friends. "Dress to Kill" is pure comedic murder.
