 Essential For Your Stand-Up Comedy Collection January 8, 2007
A. Rutland (UK)

If you are a fan of stand-up (and I presume you are if you are looking at this collection) then you will not be disappointed. This is an almost-definitive collection of Eddie's shows (his first recorded show, Live At The Ambassadors, has not been included but you may be able to get it separately on VHS). His subject matter is wide-ranging to say the least, commenting on everything from queuing up at late-night petrol stations, to Greek Gods, to cats drilling behind the sofa.
The shows get more glitzy and polished in terms production values and delivery with each release (Amazon has listed the shows in order, starting with Unrepeatable and ending with Sexie), however general opinion suggests the comedy peaks with Glorious and Dressed To Kill. Circle and Sexie are not bad (I went to the see Sexie live, just thought I'd drop that in for no tangible reason) but do not have your sides splitting as much as his previous shows.
In conclusion Ladies and Jellyspoons, this is a must for Izzard fans and lovers of stand-up and at 22 for 6 shows you just can't go wrong (price correct at time of review). Just a shame that Ambassadors was not included.

When I bought COMIC AID on DVD, was the first time I really came across Eddie Izzard, and I haven't been the same since. The next day I rushed out to by this set, and now 3 days and 6 DVD's later I have left my TV just long enough to write this review before I start watching Izzard's movies.
Eddie's not just an "executive" or "action" transvestite, he is a God to comedy. The performances are genuinely hilarious. No one can compare to him... and as they say, the proof is in the pudding so you need to buy this Box Set. For your own insanity.
Mr Izzard... I take my hat off to you...

This amazing set of six Eddie Izzard DVD's (all his releases to date) is well worth getting. It includes:
Unrepeatable (1994)
Definite Article (1996)
Glorious (1997)
Dress To Kill (1998)
Circle (2000)
Sexie (2003
As far as I can tell the DVD's have all the extras you would get if you purchased them individually. So on Dressed To Kill you get the Dress to Circle show from Paris, which Eddie does in French (but you can watch the English subtitles!). There are commentary tracks on all the discs.
I have yet to see Circle and Sexie and from what I have read they are not quite as good as his earlier material. However the first four are so brilliant that anything less than 5 stars would be a travesty!
This set will keep you laughing for days and days....
 Let down by the later shows January 31, 2007

In his prime Eddie Izzard was probably the finest standup comedian the UK had to offer. The first three DVD's in this set are nigh on essential viewing, while Dress to Kill, although still very funny, starts to exibit the exasperating habit Eddie developed of recycling old material rather than starting afresh with each tour. The last two DVD's are seriously awful - barely a laugh between them and they just serve to show what a lost talent Eddie has become.
Despite the three stars this is still well worth the money, just throw away Circle and Sexiee without wasting the time watching them.
