LOL Standup

Eddie Izzard (born Edward John Izzard; 7 February 1962), also known as Suzy Izzard, is a British stand-up comedian, actor and activist. Her comedic style takes the form of what appears to the audience as rambling whimsical monologues and self-referential pantomime.

Izzard's stand-up comedy tours have included Live at the Ambassadors (1993), Definite Article (1996), Glorious (1997), Dress to Kill (1998), Circle (2000), Stripped (2009), Force Majeure (2013) and Wunderbar (2022). She starred in the television series The Riches (2007–2008) and has appeared in numerous films, including Ocean's Twelve (2004), Ocean's Thirteen (2007), Valkyrie (2008), Absolutely Anything (2015) and Six Minutes to Midnight (2020). Izzard has also worked as a voice actor on films such as Five Children and It (2004), The Wild (2006), The Lego Batman Movie (2017) and the Netflix original series Green Eggs and Ham (2019). Among various accolades, she won two Primetime Emmys for Dress to Kill and was nominated for a Tony Award for her Broadway performance in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.

In 2009, Izzard completed 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief, despite having no history of long-distance running. In 2016, she ran 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa in honour of Nelson Mandela, raising £1.35 million. In addition to her native English, she regularly performs stand-up in Arabic, French, German, Russian and Spanish, and is an active supporter of Europeanism and the European Union.

A dedicated Labour Party activist, Izzard twice ran unsuccessfully for the party's National Executive Committee and then joined as the most successful initially non-elected person after Christine Shawcroft resigned in March 2018. In 2022, Izzard attempted to become the party's prospective parliamentary candidate for Sheffield Central but was not selected in the members' ballot. In 2023, Izzard attempted to become the party's prospective parliamentary candidate for Brighton Pavilion but was not selected in the members' ballot.

Eddie Izzard: Circle

United Kingdom

I'm not going to recommend that you watch this one. The video and the CD are two different beasts and the CD is far more hysterical. They did Eddie a disservice with this one.

The video doesn't suck... but listen to the CD instead. Trust me, it's a lot funnier.

And you can't compare it to Dressed to Kill, because that was a stand up that is just beyond anything you'll ever see... and the DVD is better than the CD with that one.

But, that being said, it is still funnier than about 90% of the stand-up out there. It's still consistently funny from start to finish. It is still a must listen, you still have to experience it, and it's still proof that Eddie Izzard is in a class all to his own, there are few people on earth that are funnier than he is, and there are far fewer that are as consistently funny as he is.

Just... listen to the CD instead.
