Eddie Izzard at Comic Aid 2005

[isitanoud]

For me, his fox hunting bit was too similar to Bill Bailey's fox hunting routine, but I loved the rest of it--especially the horse-whisperer bit. He's just so unafraid to tell the audience that he has no clue what to say next. That's refreshing. <3

[privatezib]

Isn't Izzard one of Freddy Mercury's ex-lovers?

[mojjavorezelenbore]

he reminds me of dr.House,I don`t know why :)

[nukebacon876]

we tend to go in and say "THERE'S A FUCKIN' SPIDER!" XD

[HGCMHJMGAW]

I love this man :')

[Fasterthanamaster]

barbra streisand?

[Arnkellj]

and they shoot them out of a cannon i believe...

[NickyLess]

Moth hunting please! I don't so much as dislike them, as am more intensely terrified of them (it's a phobia and it means irrational fear so please dont mention how they can't hurt me. I'm 23 and know this lol)

[runswithwands]

I hate moths...

[greengrendel]

drag hunting XD

[Heathaholic]

awww hes always in a suit nowadays :( i absolutly loved him wearing dresses <3 his voice doesnt excatly match his suit look xD but, i love him non the less :)

[lalaBored16]

that thing about moth was wicked

[joiskyhigh]

Hmm.. Don't know whether anyone here has seen Eddie's recent stand up show (I saw it in Nottingham a few months ago), but it just occured to me that that posh people vs chickens vs rubbish trumpet piece was the beginning of his current Jazz Chicken routine. It all seemed a bit familar ha :)

[balin2k]

he went to school in my town ^^

[creamyfilling102]

wow. he got old. i've only seen younger performances of this guy, but this is newer. he looks different.  less of a scarey looking fellow now.

[mcrbillytalent]

[MyRainFlake]

[risingcrisis]

[Uinb]

Rofl... Action transvestite, love that reference back.

[DemstarAus]

I'd do moth hunting if they started a club here...sounds ridiculous.

[Danny064]

no problem at all, hope i didn't come across rude or anything though :S

:) :)

[paddyenglishman91]

..Posh people have an alliance with the chickens that goes back to the first world war...

LOL ^^

[shaolinki]

Is anybody going to see Eddie in Bournemouth?

[afriKENN]

he said moths and i laughed histerically..... why???

[jogaking]

A man who can come onto a stage, and say "....Moths...." and make an audience of thousands laugh, is a true hero XD

[brennnnan]

A man who can come onto a stage, and say "....Moths...." and make an audience of thousands laugh, doesn't need to try anymore.

[Kezax]

I believe it's because Phil Jupitus, who was on before him, did an impression of Eddie Izzard waxing lyrical on the merits of moths. But then, Eddie could just say 'Jelly' and I'd laugh my arse off! :)

[Danny064]

it was alistair mcgowan who was on earlier said that he would like it if eddie izzard took over from david attenborough at narrating the nature programmes, and then went on to do an impression of him talking about moths, that is why the found it all so funny

:)

but im sure eddie izzard is enough of a genius anyway to come on stage and say a random word and make thousands laugh!

[Kezax]

Oh yeah...*dur!* Thanks for the correction! :)

[Danny064]

no problem at all! hope i didn't come across rude at all though?! :S

:) :)

[Kezax]

Don't be daft, of course you didn't! One of the main functions of comments is to give insights into videos; and people like you are worth your weight in gold! Thanks again! :)

[Headphoneguy92]

@jogaking This is aboslutely true

theres a video of eddie izzard talking seriously about the hardships in burma, promoting a charity thing.

His opening line?

'Don't laugh, you're in Burma'

I laughed my ass off!

EDDIE FUCKING IZZARD told me not to laugh. It's a paradox! I can't do it!

[CherokeeMusic]

That was awesome.

[KasHCubeD]

He looks and seems osso differnet wirthout his make up. lol

[slytherinsheirx]

He does seem very very different.

[ghandi8749]

[virani08]

hes an "action" tranny

[fishistheice]

....Moths

[izzardkingfan649]
