Not as good as I expected - I am aware that it was for charity and that it was not all eddie, but was not pleased with any of the comedians other than eddie and the one before him (i think). There was a guy that looked like a turtle that i thought was going to slip in his own sweat and shaking. There was also a group of guys that hurt my throat listening to them talk, at first I thought they were kidding but.... eh.. Its just- nobody was funny.. Overall, not worth paying $15 bucks for. $5 or $10 would have suited better.By the way if you want to see good eddie izzard buy all his other dvds.
Want more Izzard, please... - This product is a bit misleading. I was really expecting to see a bit more of Eddie Izzard, but he makes only a few, very brief appearances during this charity event. Skip this one and go for one of his stand up discs.
Worth it just for the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch - If this wasn t for a very good cause, I might have been harsher, but there are good parts and it is for a good cause. I don t understand why people are giving poor reviews because they didn t read the product description completely.
I knew it wasnt ALL Eddie... but hoped for a laugh, at least - OK, this is for charity- and worth supporting for that reason- but these are also big-name comics, so I was expecting more laughs and less groans. The only reason I sat through the whole this is that I bought it. The parts which were good, in my opinion, were--The Izzard bits (though not his best)-The 4 Yorkshiremen sketch-some of the music, most notably Tom JonesUnfortunately, that adds up to about 20 minutes. The rest of the DVD is painfully bad comedy and rather dull musical numbers. I am not British but I am a fan of British comedy and I don t have trouble with accents, generally. (Some reviewers seemed to think that was why this is getting panned). I could understand exactly what was being said, it just wasn t very funny. Parts were just plain embarrassing, such as the pathetic Morrissey impersonation. And it was so heavily and obviously edited that some comics got about 3 minutes. 3 minutes that did not flow very well. And THOSE were the funniest jokes? Made me wonder what was cut out. Shudder to think.Not really worth the price, unfortunately. Get an Izzard solo DVD!
Love Eddie Izzard - This was a little disappointing, I didn t even watch the whole dvd to be honest. I had expected a dvd of Eddie Izzard solo and it may well be my fault for not reading the full description. I have his other dvd s and continue to enjoy them even though I have seen them over more than several times. I had been looking forward to adding another one to the collection, but it didn t turn out that way. It could be I just lack patience to try but Eddie I. just seemed to take the role of MC and he is way too talented not to have another solo dvd.
