About this listen

 Eddie Izzard is a phenomenon. From three month sell-out runs in London's West End, radio shows, theatre acting roles, writing a Channel Four sitcom called Cows, to a three month world tour, including an off-Broadway stop in New York, the man never stops! He even found time in 1996 to appear in a Damien Hirst film, help launch the Rock the Vote campaign, and complete the 30-day One Word improv tour.

This album was recorded on 16 December '95 at the Shaftesbury Theatre London, on the last night of the 11-week run of Eddie's Definite Article show, and demonstrates definitively, the genius that is Eddie Izzard.

This probably the best Eddie Izzard show out there on audible. Having said that, next time I listen to "Glorious" or "Dress to Kill" I will probably change my mind.

"Definite Article" feels more polished and ingeniously structured than the other shows, while still managing the odd non-link Izzard is famous for - i.e. randomly changing subject matter in a hilarious way. If you're a fan of Izzard and haven't heard this show, where have you been?! If you're not a fan and fancy trying it out, then this is certainly a gd'un to go for.

The best Izzard show

Recorded in 1995 at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London on the last night of an eleven week run
and, although still funny and charming, was rather too much dependent on funny sounds and noises. Still worth a listen, however, being a free download with the Audible Plus programme.

Doggy style

though I thought something was off, as the jokes I was waiting for didn't come up, they must have recorded it ceporatley to the video concert.

Eddie is amazing!!

I always thought that you had to see Eddie Izzard to get the full value of his comedy, but listening to this I realise it isn't true - he is just as hilarious as ever. I love his slow, random style, and the characters he builds in his show. If you need a good pickmeup - have a listen!

Great Laugh

Too many sections that make me laugh to mention…particularly love James Mason. Do your ears a favour & listen.

Brilliant!
