Phill Jupitus Taking On Eddie Izzard

Taken from Phill Jupitus's stand-up special, "Quadrophobia", he's just come off discussing the strange casting choices for "Phantom Menace" and is discussing who would have been a better choice for the young Obi-Wan Kenobi.

If you have ever watched an Eddie Izzard routine, you KNOW that he's not exaggerating his imitation. If you haven't, shame on you; go find one and watch it now.

More British videos will be uploaded in due course, but this is a good start.

[MrSoturin]

it's more an homage to eddie rather than a taking on...

[Arulo84]

@MrSoturin I mean "taking on" in the sense of "to acquire (an appearance, for example) as or as if one's own".

I love that half the audience are probably just remembering how funny Eddie Izzard is and laughing at that.

I can just imagine Eddie doing this same bit, and I'm laughing my ass off already.

Before anyone has a go know that I absolutely adore Eddie. But really... You have to admit that was a pretty spot-on impression. It doesn't seem to have been done in malice either which is always nice to see regardless of who the person making the joke is or who the target of the joke is. =)

This is too bits of comedy in one for me, because once this was finished i began remembering the death star canteen bit Izzard did :D
