    Eddie Izzard demands a listener to pay attention or they will miss the punchline. If he pokes fun at an institution, it's usually done wryly with a wink and a nod. Very funny. And the man does comedy stand up in both German and French! French documentary of Eddie included. Well worth the money. Enjoyed!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Eddie's best concert
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    Yes, I know, everyone likes Dress to Kill. I believe that is because that is the concert most people saw first, and there is noting quite like that first taste of something special. Dress to Kill is a great concert, but Definite Article is Eddie at his best. His regular references are not getting familiar and he does not creep into what I call the "serious dead spot" that shows up in his later shows where he gets more political or engages in some social commentary which is interesting, but not as entertaining. Definite Article is the concert I show my friends who have never seen him before and they are hopelessly hooked. Now that all his shows are on DVD (except Live at the Ambassadors. Sexie is on PAL DVD and, yes, I have that one too.) watch these two shows back to back and you will see what I mean. It won't change your opinion, but you will see Eddie at his hottest (Definite Article) and as he hits his stride in America (Dress to Kill).

    Some technical notes: The video quality is excellent compared to the VHS version and the commentary will make you just that much more of a fan. Enjoy!

    Laugher is healthful and relieves stress, not to mention making you feel good.
    Eddie Izzard is witty, intelligent, and just downright funny. He is unlike any other person I have heard called a "Stand Up Comic". I would call him more of a social satirist. He touches on history, culture, philosphy, religion, politics,----nothing is off limits. You HAVE to hear him doing the voices of God and Jesus. Normally I am touchy about people using Christianity for jokes but this is not only not offensive it is HILARIOUS.
    I have everything available of his, on DVD. "Dressed to Kill" is the one that I have watched 12 times now. It is my "go to" DVD when the whole week has stunk and I need a litle escape.
    Of course the British accent lends itself to additional laughter in the way he uses it. If you have any trouble with British accents put the closed captioning on---it will greatly improve your enjoyment.
    I LOVE EDDIE-----makes me laugh just thinking of some of the things he says. GET HIS DVDs and treat yourself to a unique experience.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Izzard Material
    Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I'll admit, I've purchased, watched and loved five of his DVDs. In one week.

    This DVD is very good - but I prefer Dress to Kill, Circle, and Glorious. It seems to be one of his earlier routines, but not as early as Unrepeatable. He keeps you laughing, as usual. I can see why one reviewer said it appeals to British audiences, but I think this is simply his earlier material - we understood the material/humor just fine.

    If you're an Eddie fan and have Circle and Dress to Kill, then I'd recommend Glorious as your next purchase. If you're wondering if you should try an Eddie DVD, I'd recommend Dress to Kill or Circle. Once you're used to his style, any Eddie DVD is a good laugh.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too long
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Frankly, at two hours this show is too long for an Eddie Izzard performance and since he is best at little vignettes (like those that often show up on YouTube) this performance has way too much rambling filler that gets tiring and unfunny. It would have been much better cut in half or less, in my opinion. He needs an editor. There were about four or maybe five short individual self-contained bits in this that I found genuinely funny and that worked, but the rest was either not top-notch, not water-tight, and/or rambled too much. In addition, he tries too hard to tie everything back to things he said or did earlier in the show. Sometimes this is charming and funny, but more often I found it irritating. The audience seemed to love every last second of endless miming, riffing, seemingly off-the-cuff, rapid-fire silliness he did, but I wasn't laughing for most of it; I was waiting desperately for the two hours to end.

    In sum, I like Eddie best in short, tight bits, like many of his YouTube excerpts.

    I've seen all the Eddie videos (some way way too many times) and I have to say that this one is my favorite if just for the Corinthian skit alone.

    He's sharp, he's "on" and he's Eddie. There's nothing more to ask for.

    My recommendation in order of best to less best:

    Definite Article

    Dress to kill

    Glorious

    Sexie (saw him live both nights in DC and he was awesome)

    Unrepeatable

    Circle (not his best tour - I saw him live on that one)

    But crap Eddie is better immeasurably than no Eddie so pick any one and start there.

    Eddie's early years were still amazingly entertaining. Although I think Dress to Kill has to be Eddie's best, it's always a toss-up between Definite Article and Glorious for second place.

    The New Queue and Letter to the Corinthians are my favorite bits in this show. Still funny no matter how often I watch it. Love the way he can manipulate his voice and the expressions on his face are priceless.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worthwhile
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2017

    I remember being introduced to Eddie Izzard back in the mid 90's. I had never heard of him before and watched The Definite Article for the first time without any pre-conceived ideas of what to expect. I was, up to that point, a big fan of stand up comedy. Staple diets of Billy Connolly and Bill Hicks had fed my appetite. Eddie Izzard is a real comedian. I was howling at times during this video. I don't want to spoil it but it is well worth the watch just for the sketch about French language classes alone.

    I have been looking for this on DVD for some time now and am delighted to have found it after all these years. I am now sharing this with my teenage sons and my wife. Although there is some bad language it is not over-the-top and unnecessary. I would not hesitate to recommend this DVD to my friends and family.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I cannot rate this gold highly enough. This was one of the first stand up comedy performances that I ever saw and is definitely Izzard's best.

    I have never laughed so much, so hard, or found off-on-a-tangent musings so delightfully endearing. He is a true storyteller; Izzard irrevocably draws you in with spot-on observational humour and usually outrageous ruminations, which are told with such an imaginative, conversational style that you have to remind yourself that the show is premeditated and not a gloriously surreal stream of consciousness.

    I especially love Izzard's supermarket musings ("this is a POO shop"/"there's a badger with a gun!"/"I left my aura there!"), and perhaps you should do what other reviewers did (and I didn't think to do) and pause it to ensure that you never miss anything over your belly laughs and tears. It is something I could watch over and over again, as finding a gem that you had previously laughed over come in thick and fast!

    Buy this if you're new to Izzarddom. Buy this if you're not and haven't seen it yet (where've you been?!). Yeah!

    We first bought this on video, but lost it in a house move 6 years ago. So when it came out on DVD, we jumped at the chance to buy it.
    This is one of the best stand-up comedy events ever. My wife and I were literally gasping for breathe as Eddie described a passage from his childhood when his school's orchestra "murdered" a piece of classical music. We had to pause the DVD to recover. And the French bits were hilarious - I didn't understand a word of it, but it still had me in stitches.
