In Dress to Kill, Eddie Izzard spins free-flowing jokes about San Francisco (where the comedy concert was filmed), transvestitism, squirrels, American optimism, Hitler, the British royal family, mass murder, and Stonehenge--and that's only the first 30 minutes. It's as if this ingenious comedian says whatever comes off the top of his head, but giving that impression demands cunning and skill; Izzard romps through human history and transforms surprisingly complex ideas into biting satire--as well as knockout bits of sublime frivolity, like describing the movie Speed entirely in French. His mercurial patter is sprinkled with four-letter words, but his twinkling glances make this more mischievous than crude. Izzard has delivered some excellent performances in movies (like Velvet Goldmine and The Cat's Meow), but it's on stage that he really explodes with daffy wit and charisma. Simply brilliant and completely addictive; you will want to watch this over and over. --Bret Fetzer

Highly recommend. As usual, new material you haven't seen in any other Eddie Izzard DVD. On par with Definite Article and Full Circle - love them all, actually.

and history...once you get past Alcatraz.Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill

If you don't have this you need to get it right now... I'll wait...then we can really talk about it.
Best ever. April 17, 2010

The first time a friend brought over this DVD, he told us we could turn it off if it wasn't for us (I'm not usually a stand-up comedian lover). I laughed so hard I a. fell off the couch and b. gave myself an asthma attack. I begged my friend to borrow the DVD, then got my own as well as every other Eddie performance I could get my hands on. Dress to Kill has some of the most sublime comedic bits I've ever seen and the encore in French is basically genius. It's weird to laugh so hard but also admire what went into it. This guy is smart as hell, that is one thing you'll take away from this. And I have heard of teachers showing his WWII stuff in their classes....anything that will entertain and educate like this does is a valuable classroom tool. Do not miss this.
Everyone (or almost) will love this! March 16, 2010

Eddie Izzard is my favorite performer - I was going to say "comedian", but he is way beyond that! He's educated - or is it just that he's from "the place where the history comes from" - and although his comedy certainly contains the f- word, it is so much less offensive when he says it that I brought this in to show my Latin 4 class. One of them borrowed it to show his parents and they loved it!
If you are not yet familiar with E.I., you are missing something - try this!
If you are already an E.I fan, I think this is his best!
