An Awkward 10 Minutes with Mike featuring Eddie Izzard

[JMetzful]

it's 9:28...awkward.

[pickemallayyye]

That's not awkward, that's pedantic :P

[tmzrox]

I miss the "executive transvestite" : (

[YouFeud]

Bought mike bib(watever the fuck his name is) dvd an it was shit.. Dry as yank humour.. Unimaginative an unfunny.. Boring as bat shit.. Worst buy ever.. If u do like mike.. I bet it takes a fart to get u laughing.. Eddies in a totally different league to that guy..  His not even in the same ball park..

[bugwitch]

@YouFeud Eddie is hilarious. Mike is pretty funny as well. However, watching those DVD's are not going to give you a good example of what he does. I saw them after listening to his This American Life stuff and was severely disappointed. Go to the This American Life website or iTunes store and download the episodes "First Contact" and "Fear of Sleep" which include excerpts from his stand up material.

[TylerSampson51]

I paid $168 for Nosebleed tickets to see Eddie Izzard at the Hollywood Bowl in July. Totally Worth it!

[Kyusoath]

i wish he was funny.

[workwithnature]

Eddie is brill ;)

[bringmemybow]

"FUCK OFF!" love spacey.

[majorbrighton]

This was not an interview for Eddie then! You do not "try" to do jokes in front of Eddie and take sooo much time front as lucky interview time as this!

[Sasafras06]

i love kpax!

[MsSugarpop]

Eddie Izzard is the best.

[PlumberryDelicious]

funny shit.

[xman682]

was Kevin Spacey actually there......?

[RealLost2Reality]

@xman682

That was Kevin Spacey that yelled "Fuck off!"

lol

[Gwenjane11]

the audience is a bit annoying...

[GenoPeppino]

Eddie Izzard should be the next Doctor!

[fenric71]

I met him here in Dumfries, Scotland he is so  lovely!!!

[tildainparis]

@fenric71 who Eddie Izzard?

[1108chuck]

For thos asking who is Mike? It is Mike Birbiglia. Look him up. He has videos here on youtube.

[aveslp]

@1108chuck Yes he does have videos on youtube. This very one you've commented on is from his channel... :p

[yipdog]

mike birbiglia, hes a stand up comedian, hes hilarious trust me

[HarryRoss1992]

Yes Eddie is still a transvystite (i dunno how you spell it but its a good one for scrabble as Eddie points out), he's just "in boy mode at the time".

[BaileyJapes]

@HarryRoss1992 Transvestite

[asfdos]

@BaileyJapes d'accion!

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@HarryRoss1992

T.R.A.N.S.V.E.S.T.I.T.E

[chelsearoses22]

@p3rs0nan0ngrata Yeah...I'm just a sweet transvestite...from Transylvania...

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@chelsearoses22

You travel in vests that are a size too small?

[chelsearoses22]

@p3rs0nan0ngrata haha....yes...I do....great movie love The Rocky Horror Picture Show

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

eddie looks good notin drag

[JustHannah1]

who is this Mike guy?? Is he supposed to be funny?

[cricket801]

@JustHannah1 He's fantastic - if you like Eddie Izzard, you'll like him too. Try to catch him on tour if you can.

[vince38curious2]

This would be much better if you clean up the sound

[Nikolidas]

Ha, my mum knew Eddie's mum when they were living in Northern Ireland. She used to bath him when he was little, so that's my claim to fame xD a very very small one at a stretch.

[CAR18MEN]

does he still cross dress?????

[zakutak]

is he no longer a cross-dresser? i have seen several of his shows and he was always in drag. here he almost looks normal lol

[bassassin1837]

that mic cord is distracting.

[jbarks10]

Eddie Izzard, you are a total disgrace. What a cheap shot to say that Cameron does not think Britain is brilliant. He is saying that it is broken in the context of:

- Teenage pregnancy highest in Europe, Violent crime, mass immigration, failing schools, Cancer care below that of Bulgaria, Greek style Budget deficit

.......If you are telling me that I should think things are great now, you are fucking having a laugh. You've just convinced me NOT to vote Liebour.

[JamesFarrkoff]

@jbarks10 "You are fucking having a laugh."

He's a comedian.

Case closed.

[wumpusthis]

What makes this clip even more awkward is it wasn't quite ten minutes.

[Garnetfire]

Shane Bourne hosts a show in Australia called 'Thank God You're Here' and acts on a drama called City Homicide :-)

[JinsaChan]

It's so odd to see him with heals shorter than mine for once, haha. He's so funny. :]

[Dominofrost]

I can't be friends with someone who doesn't like Eddie Izzard. :D

[poleenapoleeno]

@Dominofrost me neither!!! that kind of humor awwww

[ruairaidh]

@Dominofrost Agreed. It's one of my standards for men I date - if they don't like Eddie, it's a sure sign the relationship is going nowhere. Also, I had a roommate who didn't get Eddie's humor and that "relationship" ended in shouting matches. I should've known the moment he didn't laugh at D2K.

[rickythompsonfilms]

@Dominofrost I've never met someone who doesn't like him!

[RavenBlaze]

he looked better in a dress

[crumblingtown]

@RavenBlaze

True,,, i got used to seeing his videos when he cross-dressed.. without the dress,, he becomes a manly funny guy,, if he crossed dresses,.. a transvy funny guy.

[Atomic1965]

He SOLD OUT Madison Square Garden a few nights ago - and over 30,000 people came to see him in Dallas TX last night. That's an awful lot of American fans who love his brilliance.

[Zeila68]

@Atomic1965

I was there! Sooooo amazing.

[sophleyinc]

@Atomic1965 I WAS THERE! First time I'd seen him live...He's the funniest man in the world; no doubt. =]

[pacskye]

@Atomic1965 HE IS BRILLIANT.

I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT.

WHAT A GENIUS.

[Train240]

Structure wise, he is my favorite commedian. "Dressed to Kill" is by far my favorite stand up special/DVD ever. Personal preference, I Just love the 'historical' comedic routine. The makeup throws me for a loupe but in the end adds tension to the comedy relief.

[sophleyinc]

@Train240 SUCH an amazing video...I own it =]

[abrelosojo]

eddie izzard reminds me of zeppelin. an english export to america that seems to have become bigger there than here... am i right? im not american but u all seem to love him alot.

[872463051]

If that's true, it is to a MUCH smaller scale. As an American, I don't know many people over here who even know about him, and when Zeppelin came over, everyone knew them.

[OakRidgePunk777]

he's the face everyone knows but can't name

[FuLuShouXi]

I am American, and I think maybe he is the funniest person alive.

[biggygasser]

seriously. who is mike

[Callmeergan]

Ya it really is bullshit. It's sad that a comedian as talented and funny as Eddie has to dress a certain way to keep a lame ass society from getting uncomfortable. We Americans are such pussies about cross-dressing and that kind of shit. Eddie MADE himself dressing as he did.. That's his persona. He shouldn't have dressed like this. He should have been himself and been comfortable being his usual character.

[imaphaker]

He dresses however he wants. That was his point, not that he should *have* to dress in women's clothes. And you missed it entirely, insisting instead that he shouldn't have dressed in whatever fashion he wants.

[kingdrewew]

mike who?

[harryteknikos]

Mike Birbiglia, stand-up comic

[monkeypaw1010]

Uhhh...wasn't/isn't the point of Eddie dressing in traditional female clothes meant to show that males should be able to wear what they want? Want if Eddie simply wants to have a beard and more comfortable shoes now? Are we saying that I as a female should never dress in skirts? He still dresses up. Some times he wears makeup with the men's clothes. Point is that he's Eddie no matter what he wears, and if you loved him as a tranny, love him as a down dressed guy.

[fragilesara]

MIke sounds drunk.

[applesky007]

I think the american guy was a tit.  Eddie was great as he always is. I would have punched that American little smart arse. Bet Eddie wanted to.

[jamesthemod]

well hes a 'serious' hollywood actor now isnt he, cant be seen to a bit odd for the lovely american public.

BRING BACK EXECUTIVE TRANSVESTITE!!!

[wingsandash]

I miss the 'Male Lesbian' Eddie. Bring it back, bring it back, don't take it away fro me ...

[deenazfreed]

WOW! My two favorite guys together!!!

[Arieona]

o.o Eddie's in jeans!

[Rotsertin]

Eddie.. looks.. what?!

[ChildrenOfBodomGODS]

Eddie in MANS CLOTHES?? never thought id see the day lol 5/5 :D

[Scribesh]

He only dresses up for his Tours. (Although not once did he wear heels during the marathons across Europe)

[SDRvideos]

he isnt gonna be wearing girls clothes for his new tour either called Stripped! he says he shall be in "boy mode" as he calles it lol

[SeventhEve]

I was there! So much fun :)

[Rawnesss]

Because it wasn't funny, more than obviously.

[Samm13unlucky]

Why the hell are you people complaining that he was 32 seconds out...he's put the video up ain't he?

[Arcangelchaps]

......

[BeccaDu]

I love Kevin Spacey's 'Fuck off!' from the audience!

[TheDandFproductions]

Eddie is so awesome! Lord of the shaving creme FTW!

[JoltYourLife]

You lucky bugger...

I wish I was there to see Eddie Izzard. I love him so much, he's my FAVOURITE comedian. Ever.

[akiv12801]

Eddie looks WAY different. .-.;

[VulpixTheLonely]

I liked Eddie a lot more when he dressed like a woman and didn't have a moustache too, hehe.

[chrestomancicat]

This was such an amazing show. I can't even believe that I was actually there. Birbigs, Eddie Izzard, and Kevin Spacey in the same room. It was probably the best night of my life.

[animefanatic101]

I Loved this! I only wish I could have seen the whole thing.

[Funnyorforgetit]

Birbigs is awesome!

[Diablo525]

Easily my two favorite comedians. And Mike's a fan of my favorite band, The Format, so that makes him even MORE awesome than he originally was!

[141414abc]

He is areally funny guy :)

[bw123]

I hope all the "Ten Awkward minutes with Mike" will en fup on some future DVD. This was great!

[AcidinmyShoe]

I was so lucky to be there.

[chrestomancicat]

@AcidinmyShoe Me too!

[tealsoda]

yesssss, two of my favorite comedians ever.

[nutherefurlong]

This was great, I wish I could see more of these. I sorta wish talk shows were more like this :)

[rothbern]

ahaha this is great...still my favorite one has to be the one with Micheal Ian Black
