For late comers like me; Suzy Eddie Izzard is she/her now. STILL DAMN FUNNY and that’s all that matters

[@Atamastra]

I came to the conclusion when I first started watching Eddie Izzard (and later found out this is TRUE) that he doesn't really have a 'set' or a 'list of jokes', he just gets on stage and you watch him play with his imagination for an hour. And it's fucking fascinating. I practically have this whole show memorized, and i still laugh at it. A comic genius, no question.

[@kobayashiMaroo]

@Georgina Orwell there are obvious bits that are improv, like the ringing of the bell . . to which he makes a note "never link those two together again". Much of the riff on San Francisco is improv

[@blurgle9185]

I don't buy that he makes up these jokes as he goes. I mean, many of us are able to make these jokes on the fly, but on command, infront an audience, it's too hard and our psyche too unreliable. I think its more likely that most of his jokes have been rehearsed repeatedly infront of a mirror and he's skilled enough to pull them out of his hat when the occasion calls for it. He cares little for a structured set, I might concede on that.

[@Atamastra]

@@blurgle9185 I actually think it's somewhere between the two. I'm sure he has jokes rehearsed, but those are just monuments and rest stops on his comedic mental road trip; I think that's more likely than him having not rehearsed and memorized the set, but also rehearsed the very delivery to make it sound like he is just making it up as he goes.

[@Atamastra]

@H Didn't say "totally" different. Didn't even imply it. Read the comment again, because I think you're ignored a big chunk of what I said to make a disingenuous point.

@@InternalMind History: Definition 1. the study of past events, particularly in human affairs. 2. the whole series of past events connected with someone or something. And both of them described History and the "PAST" being "Long Time Ago" makes perfect sense: Because of the Napoleonic Wars & 1812 being 208 years ago (aka A LONG TIME AGO) and WW2 - ending in 1945 being 75 years ago. (Also a Long time ago, that's like a grandparents entire lifetime.) So what Nettlis was saying was true ... It was Long Time Ago. And it's either get over it and learn from it, or do what you and Lena are doing and taking it personally. And Yes I did google word History for it's Definition, even though I am a bit of a History Buff and know what it freaking means. And I even did the Math showing you that It was infact "A Long Time Ago." Thus "The Study of past Events" aka "History." Yes History is Important, and yes I do know what your saying, but the idea behind it is "Learning from it" And not "Romantizing it and Repeating it." Infact we are making it right now in 2020, WITH THE CORONAVIRUS... What you guys do right now during this will effect the Future outcome of it and what will be the story you will have to tell "Kids" Younger than you who never experienced it "ABOUT IT!!

This is the greatest stand-up performance of all time. Each nuance adds something, so you actually feel there are four or five different people on stage. After he says, "You're lucky I'm Church of England," just look at his facial expression. The make-up accentuates his eyes and mouth, and the fact he doesn't have to hold a microphone gives his body freedom to perform, as though acting on stage. Magnificent lines, wonderfully performed.

I find him to be so beautiful in this particular act. The way he carries his makeup is outstanding.

[@b.j.stoner9065]

Wow...this was edited to take out “that was lent by the NRA”. Oh well...it doesn’t matter since there are SO MANY of us that have the entire *Dress To Kill* routine/show memorized !! (an oldie, but a goodie forever)🥀

[@themaggattack]

Poorly edited, too. Ridiculous.

[@tdearsan]

ya, that was weird.

[@tinnitusthenight5545]

Any theories as to the reason?

[@OOG_IMP]

There's at least a few minutes missing between the bits (including the actual set up for the cake or death bit) so I don't think it was done specifically for the NRA joke. Doesn't seem like there's any deeper meaning to it. It's just some shoddy editing.

[@grizzlyjefferson1228]

I think the uploader only really intended to post the second half of this video, but the one-liner at the end about Hitler would be weird without the first half. So they put in enough video for context so that people wouldn't fill the comments with "why is he talking about Hitler," but instead made a situation where everyone's filling the comments with "why the weird editing."

m fay actually I think that's funny!

[@cjr4908]

It feels weird to watch this without Legos...

[@Revelian1982]

Legos was a fine warrior, laddy, and he fought with bravery. The city walls were never breached, and that will forever be his legacy.

[@medexamtoolscom]

@@Revelian1982 The city walls were never breached? WTF you talking about, the city walls were easy to disassemble, since they were made of legos.

[@Asiliea]

@@medexamtoolscom They were never breached 'cos the moment they damaged the walls, there were suddenly instant-death caltrop-bricks lying all over the ground. No sane army will march over those!

I remember when my friend showed me Eddie izzard for for the first time. good times

[@samuelpalmquist2190]

Literally my best memories are from 2007 me and my best friend would put on dressed to kill at 3am and fall asleep when I'd stay over.

[@Revelian1982]

I remember my friend showed me his penis, and said that he had found a way to make it big. He showed me, and I was jealous, so I tried rubbing mine too, and nothing happened. Good times.

[@seymourbuttz6419]

[@nasty5634]

I was 9 when I first saw this and this whole clip pretty much sums up dress to kill. Masterpiece.

[@tombstonevulturecommand]

Your a great example of one being oneself. You kept me strong and gave me the courage to be the individual that I should be. Love you brother

[@303elliott]

Enjoy the boost from GG viewers! All respect!

[@BATMAN7666]

This is how I found Eddie years ago! I adore Eddie 💗 & still one of my FAVORITE SKITS TO THIS DAY!

[@SergeantKal]

"Eva, let's get married." "Alright, where's our honeymoon gonna be? Can we go international?" "I'm thinking we're gonna have to."

[@bcaye]

Eddie is so precious.

[@trexguy]

Eddie, you are the best!!!

[@nxsport]

Best moment ever from Eddie, imo :D

[@RatPackBat]

nxsport same here tooz

[@Revelian1982]

I used to think so too, but now I think his best moment was when he ran 43 marathons in 51 days to commemorate Mandela. That was just unbelievable.

[@silverbrumbyfan]

His sketches are so memorable I literally can't get them out of my head, they run round and round my head while I'm at work so I'm sat there at my desk grinning like an idiot and almost giggling and trying to hide it because my co workers will think I'm insane.

[@truepeacenik]

silverbrumbyfan Yeah. When he is on the radio comedy channel, it’s dangerous.

[@Mr.Bones24-7]

Always loved Eddie! Such a smart, funny and animated performer! 🤔🤗🤣
