Advantages: Unfailingly funny

Disadvantages: none

I first came across Eddie Izzard on that late night Montreal comey festival thing - "Just For Laughs". And even if he wasn't quite as slick as he is now, he still had me incapable with laughter.

Every performance is a one off variation on a theme, wonderfully inventive and with an eye for the surreal second to none.

I still love the bit about learning French at school, all those useless phrases.....wild escalation of the idea.....actually taking a monkey on holiday so you can stick it up a tree and then casually drop 'le singe est dans l'arbre' into the conversation.

His impression of a bird on a plane...being watched enviously by a bird travelling by more conventional methods and hisuncannily realistic giraffe impression both get 10 out of 10.

If you have been off planet for a few years, the make-up etc may come as a surprise - he's an out transvestite - but on a scale of World Peace to Armageddon - just how important is that?

Brilliant, unique, unfailingly inventive - what more do you want from a comedian?
