Advantages: Very Very funny man

Disadvantages: some of his jokes will stick in your head and you'll suffer from spontanious bursts of laughter!!

Eddie Izzard is the funniest man in the whole wide world. Or so say I anyway!!!

It really doesn't matter how many times you watch his videos, you'll never get bored!

So what makes him so funny? Well, I think the style in which he presents his work is quite unusual. He is extremely visual. His actions seem to be so real, that you almost forget that he doesn't actully use any props!!!

But HOW funny is he and why? Well, heres a taster for you...to say a Doctor has a jumpy spider instead of a blood pressure device, Your cat and dog are conspiring against you to get money for your blood. Your dog isnt actually happy with his wash, and your cats are actually drilling, not purring....and do Earwigs make Chutney? This is the level of humour he has!! How crazy! you cry, but you really have to see it so that you can appreciate these items fully! I really can't do his jokes or humour any justice! So watch it!

Another thing I really like about him is that he'll say a joke, or mention something, then later on, while he's talking about something else, he'll refer back to that joke from before, so the whole show is kind of interlinked.

Oh yeah, he's a transvestite, and if you work hard at school, you might just be able to be one too! He's very open about it...which is cool and does this excellent scene where he's mimicking 5 d**khead men, yelling at him about wearing a dress...ha ha ha! Its so funny!!

I thought that he would appeal to most people, but upon watching it with one of my uni mates last year, and nearly dying of laughing so much while she just sat there totally unimpressed, I realised for the first time, he wasn't for everybody!! (oh no!)

Personally I dont think this is his best video, I think that you should probably check out "Definite Article" (and his other vids too of course!!) But this doesn't mean to say that this isn't a VERY funny show
!!! It always has me in stitches!!
