Can't wait
Manchester date's on the 15th. This is probably of no interest to anyone but I worked out last night that we'll be sitting in almost the same seats in the arena as we sat in a couple of weeks ago for the stereophonics gig. What's the chances of that in a 15,000 seat arena :? -------------------- Animo et Fide

I saw him a couple of years ago in London. Absolutely hilarious, he has that skill that Billy Connoly has of always appearing to be making it up as he goes along, as if he's never quite sure what he's going to say next.

I got the circle tour video, it's got footage from a usa show and a france show. it becomes more obvious that he does prepare a lot of his stuff but he has no pre-defined order. I think he gives the impression of being 100% impro but really he's more like 70% prepared and the rest is genuine impro. Not that it makes him any less funny

I wanted to go see him in NY this past year to see him play Lenny Bruce in a play. I wonder how that was?! The only time I ever saw him was Dressed To Kill on HBO. I find myself stopping to watch it everytime it's on. I think I need to buy a few of his DVDs.

I've got a few of his vids/DVDs, they're all superb. Dress To Kill is definately the best so far tho

Alcatraz....
Soldiers in Fantastic Make-up... Drilling Cats... I can't feckin wait
P.S. Encece Everything I've seen Eddie in that wasn't comedy based always seemed to let me down. Something about him just leaves you waiting for the punchline and thats not a good thing when you are watching a Serious drama. Might be just me though

I would think the same thing but since Lenny Bruce (pretty funny and outrageous in his time,...for the youngins) was a stand-up comedian...I thought it would be a good mix of both.
I could see how Izzard may be type cast as Izzard. You dont want to see him playing someone else...you want to see him do him. -------------------- |

Nope, but he did start 20 minutes late. There's an interval (wierd for a comedian) and he was 10 minutes late restarting after that as well.
