Who loves Eddie Izzard? He's one of my favourite stand-ups around, and not a bad actor either. I haven't had the good fortune to see him live yet, but hopefully he'll be back on tour soon.
Anyway, I just visited HMV on my lunch break to check out the sale, and I got a DVD set of 6 of his shows for 20 yoyos!!! I'm gonna have a big Eddie-fest tonight. It's gonna be sweet :D

    i'm from Europe, where all the history comes from.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The universe is awesome using the original version, the meaning of the word awesome, yeah? Not the new one which is sort of for socks and hot dogs: "Hey! Red and yellow - awesome! You got red and yellow socks, they're awesome!" You know. But if they were you'd be (gasps). I saw an advert for 'awesome hot dogs, only $2.99'. If they were awesome you'd be going, (gasping for breath) "I can not… breathe for the way the sausage is held by the bun. It is… it is speaking to me. It is saying 'we are lips and thighs… of a donkey. Please eat us… but do not think that we are lips when you eat us, otherwise you'll throw up'." Which is true! It's awesome!

    He's my favourite stand up comedian as well. The cake or death piece he did was hilarious.

    He's cool. I saw that HBO stand-up he did a few years ago when he was dressed in a black komo outfit or something and make-up. He was bloody hilarious!

    LOVED Eddie Izzard from TheRiches, which is the 1st and only place I saw him at (I know I am behind I suppose).
    Are you into that show? It's so awesome but I can't seem to get an exact date for when it returns this season. It did very well last season so I imagined that they will have it run again. but WHEN????????


    oh, and here's me being further clueless I told Senrock on the Riches thread that I through out there that the guys name was "Eddie Lizard"....oh shit.......I've become my grandmothert.......
    Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on The Creek......
