Eddie Izzard Jan 21, 2010 - Giraffes Only Cough

Eddie Izzard at American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX Jan 21, 2010.

I make no copyright claim here... this is all Eddie Izzard's work. If you ever get the chance, drive as far as you must and spend whatever it costs and be sure to see him live!

At the tail end of a bit about Noah's Ark, Eddie explains that the only sound that giraffes can make is a cough.

I apologize for the jerky video. I had no idea how hard it would be to hold a camera steady, taking video, while trying my hardest not to laugh at one of my favorite bits. I hope Eddie doesn't mind that I share him here... he is one of my favorite people on earth.

As a matter of fact I did! I was exhausted when we got back last night and had to be up early, though, so I just posted my favorite. The others are mostly just random clips except I did catch the entire encore. I'll try to get them up later.

OMG! I can't believe I found this. I was at this performance and he was amazing. I was surprised how many people filled the AA center. Since we are the bible belt i was not expecting so many attend. He is my favorite comedian.
