Eddie Izzard - Unrepeatable Live

Eddie Izzard is a unique voice in comedy, with a diverse, international background that lends him a fresh, cosmopolitan perspective; he is also known for his transvestism, having coined the phrase "a heterosexual in a man's body." His delivery focuses on the absurd or surreal aspects of everyday things, and he has a unique knack for personifying inanimate objects, bestowing voices that seem uncannily accurate upon such unlikely characters as socks, earwigs, and cats, among others. The show captured here was originally performed in 1994 at the Albery theater, and his hilarious routine covers topics such as the sound of a cat purring; being a revolutionary liberal; bird migration; and horror movie conventions, to name only a few.
