Are you a fan of Eddie Izzard's comedic work?

[malvachat]

I deny anybody not to laugh after watching this.
It's the classic death star canteen routine

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

the anglican church really is about 'cake or death' right?

Izzard, very English and very over rated.

I already saw him in December at the Lyrics in London. It was a good show. He had a very clever joke about the origin of language. I am not going to spoil it but it was very funny.

Dress to Kill was the last funny thing he did, everything after that became a bad parody of himself.

Anyone going to any of these arena dates?

If so, would you mind posting how it was? Thanks.

To answer the thread title, yes, I am a fan of his comedy but not his acting. Goodness, I just cannot take him seriously as an actor at all.

 

[Mozzy1]

Well, I hope he has a great day tomorrow.
It's his birthday! Many memorable more, Eddie!

His 'acting' in Valkyrie was vey 'comedic'

Intentionally comedic?

Of course not intentionally comedic....have you seen the film? It's amazing!!

Oh cheers!

I haven't seen it... I am a bit scared of Tom Cruise and thought I'd give it a miss. His (Eddie's) acting never quite hits the target, does it?

I read an interview with him before "The Riches" (tv) came out, and he was talking about how desperate he was to be a recognized famous actor in the US. I thought that was a bit of a shame.

 

[Moonbeam]

The film was daft to be honest, how can you have a film where all the nazis have American or British accents? Didn't work for me at all.

 

[ellay mort]

love him. so funny.

Izzard is FANTASTIC. "Dress to Kill" is perfection.
