I went over to a friend's house and she had this tape sitting on top of her VCR. We were bored and both had seen everything else she had, so we decided to watch it, as I had never even heard of Eddie Izzard. Before it started, she warned me that most people that have watched it with her think it's terrible and don't really understand alot of his humor. Two minutes into the film, I could barely hear one joke from still laughing at the previous one. Chronicling the whole of the Bible, granted with many long, random tangents, Izzard's comic genius had me laughing for the entire hour and a half.

We've left you a huge (BLEEP-off) horse...as per usual...."That was from the Trojan horse part! One of my favorite quotes.But really, how does one summarize the work of Eddie Izzard?? It just seems too funny for words, you just have to see the video. But let me leave you with this:(Singing) "Bum bum bum bum bumm, I am a GRAN! I live forever....."Don't ask, just watch the video.
... View MoreHere is another video of Englands best stand up comic and athough very funny it is not the best routine he has done. (check out Dressed to Kill).We do meet some of Eddie's reccuring themes,James Mason, Mrs Badcrumble and for some reason Mr Izzard has a bit of an obssession with Jam in the video but we wont hold that against him! His religous ramblings are very funny and quite true when you sit and think about it. If your a fan you will love "Glorious" , if your a first time viewer of Eddie Izzard try one of his other videos first. 7 out of 10.
... View MoreOnce again Eddie Izzard tackles subjects that the average comedian would not be able to handle. However, Izzard, who could never be called normal, manages to keep the audience in fits of laughter. This is one video which you will be able to watch over and over again.
