Eddie Izzard - Unrepeatable

Artist:

Izzard, Eddie

UPC:

045778674220

Description:

Originally available on CD in Eddie Izzard`s native U.K. in 1995 but not released in the U.S. until Anti-Records released the comedian`s back catalog in 2004, Unrepeatable is one of Izzard`s more traditional sets of material. In fact, the opening ten-minute riff on the travails of laundry day, "Are You Happy With Your Wash?," might as well be by a British-accented Jerry Seinfeld. Izzard quickly moves away from the standard observational humor into his own mildly surreal worldview, starting with a piece about Prince Charles` then-current problems with hecklers and moving on to the political and historical pieces that have since become the mainstay of his act. (Who else would do a long piece about auctioneers at Sotheby`s?) Although this is probably Izzard`s most conventional stand-up comedy set, fans of later, better-known routines like Dress to Kill will appreciate Unrepeatable, not least because the early roots of that album`s central routines about Izzard`s transvestism can be found in this set`s "Bloke in a Dress." This CD is also available as a DVD with audio commentary and other extras. ~ Stewart Mason
