Eddie Izzard - Definite Article

This superb DVD was recorded at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, when Eddie was in the middle of his sell-out 12-week run. A genius of many talents and blinding energy - a Damien Hirst film, acting with Bob Hoskins in Christopher Hampton's Secret Agent, launching "ROCK THE VOTE," a UK tour, "HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU" and a world tour which includes Paris, New York, Stockholm and Reykjavic, which is being filmed for the BBC - his unique comedy has made him beloved of audiences and critics alike. As The Daily Mail said of Eddie Izzard's performance of Definite Article, "A comic of genuine genius".

Charismatic, cross dressing comedian Eddie Izzard appeared live at the Shaftebury Theater in his native England in 1996; his irreverent humor is present in full force during this recorded performance. The routine touches upon the varying topics of fashion, James Bond, Noah, and doggy-style sex, all in his characteristically diassociated delivery. This is Izzard at his best, and the release includes a revelatory BBC documentary on the artist.
