Eddie Izzard Reviews

David Bennett from San Francisco, California

VERY DISAPPOINTED

Not very funny. Thought it would be funny but seemed like the audience was forcing the laughing. Would not recommend this show.

WUNDERBORING

I've been a fan for a long time, but I've never seen Eddie live. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear much of what he was saying due to his penchant for mumbling. I had decent enough seats, so my location shouldn't have been an issue. What I did hear was disjointed and not really compelling. I felt like he was rambling and not trying to take the audience anywhere. His political stuff was not particularly insightful. Simply saying one hates a certain person isn't comedy. I wish him the best, but I won't pay to see him again. We left at intermission, disappointed to have wasted so much money.

RECYCLED ALLUSIONS TO OLD INSIDE JOKES, PLUS POLITICS

I was ridiculously excited to see my first live show, after seeing almost all of his previous routines. Within the first ten minutes, I was ready to walk out. He had very little new material. Every now and then he’d deliver a good laugh, but most of the time, it was just a sort of “wink wink nudge nudge” reference to his earlier stuff. It felt like he knows he’s so big now that the audience will laugh at whatever he says, so there’s no need to really work on more material. It was plain lazy — and incoherent, to boot. I think he’s more focused on his political career at this point; that would explain why the first 20 minutes was essentially a stump speech for his upcoming Parliament run. He can do so much better than this.
