Thanks for posting this!! This man cracks me up! His comedy style and delivery made him stand out, even in the show's impressive line up. Favourite bit: the bible interview with the squirrel......
"The Truth" is incidental to the function of comedy, and frequently the contrast is the tactic that makes much of comedy - funny. Eddie is a master of this tactic. Well done sir - and where's your dress?
@@trilliarobinson7862 4-23-2023 - - - - I saw him on a late night comedy show a few weeks ago. He was dressed as a girl - so - who knows what's going on?
hey man! yh he is doing a tour near the end of the year! the tours called "Stripped" and the tickets are on sale now! ive got mine already for the 18th November woohoo!
I cant get over how much love this guy is gettin, even the negative comments arent exactly scathing or anythin... and its so true, hes awesome and sexy in a the ladies stuff!
Eddie saying she would be a hunter... Well considering the fact that early hominids hunted by running their prey to exhaustion, I think she would be good at it. She has a crazy habit of running a marathon a day for around a month at a time.
Men went hunting. Women gathered berries and plants. Which basically meant people ate A LOT of berries and plants and men bought a fish in the store and made up stories about catching it :) times haven't changed :)
GBatT you now hunting money to go supermarket and buy shit you used to make on your own and order takeaway for your lazy bum can't even cook wife, never mind being able to identify a berry beyond the packaged in plastic at the supermarket. You got to be on the clowning mode with that times haven't changed statement
doncha just *love* his smile? i really like it when he sort of laughs at his own jokes. to see how much he is enjoying himself makes it even more fun, i think. anyway, thanks for sharing.
To be fair an entire valley flooding would be seen as the end of the world for a pre technology society where normal people didn't really leave their local area.
@@olgac.9636 because they cant talk. They could play dominoes, but by the time the other giraffes have worked out that it is a tiger, the tiger would have eaten them :)
He's such a visual comedian...I LOVE HIMM! I can't stand crap stand up comedians ie. Jimmy Carr who just fire out jokes one after the other when they are in no way related to each other =L
According to Eddie the decision to dress like a man was influenced by the fact it was difficult to get acting jobs in the U.S. Kinda sad, but it's the truth. Being an "Executive Transvestite" would limit his options in mainstream Hollywood.
i read an interview from when he was doing his "stripped" tour here in the us - roughly what i remember reading was: the reason he's dressing in 'boy' clothes lately is because he hates to be put in a 'box', and people had started associating him only with transvesticism....but either way, i agree with gazz84 - "eddie is eddie no matter what he wears!"
Gee, if I'd known Britain's policemen got Eddie's comedy in 2008, I would have had a sex change, moved there and become a policeman! Brilliant!! "How can I be sure? Try it!"
Having read a lot about history, this really surprised me. They tell about the evolution of the stone spears and axes, but they dont tell the simple thing. How did humans hunt buffalo when they didnt have stone tools? Well they didnt. They didnt eat much meat. They might catch a rat, or a turtle maybe. A sheep would be already too big and powerful to kill. What would you do, wrestle it down and bite with your useless human teeth? A ram? Noooooooooo WAY! And then there is this one guy who is told how its impossible to hunt a woolly mammoth, and he picks up a rock, a long branch, and tears a handful of his own hair. "Hold my handful of pond water..." People coul get maybe a kilo of meat a month, and that was really trying. After stone tools it was, you see five tons of mammoth and go "heat up the barbie, honey, I will be right back."
You can totally kill a sheep or ram barehanded, especially working as a group. You can use persistence hunting and wait for it to collapse of exhaustion (there are still tribes that do this), like so: ruclips.net/video/m-KlCjm2YQo/видео.html Alternatively, you can ambush it as a group, some distracting it in front while the rest grab its legs/knock it over, then strangle it. Also, think about the kinds of animals kids catch: lizards, snakes, frogs, crayfish, baby birds, etc. Not to mention insects and worms. Heck, I've caught a fish bare handed before and I am NOT an experienced hunter/fisher. I'm pretty sure humans were eating meat on a regular basis before the stone age, provided the definition of "meat" doesn't just refer to muscle tissue from mammals and birds the way it does in modern times.
They were just more creative, they did things like run circles around the animals until the animal got dizzy and would fall over, then they captured it with a net made from seaweed. They would also trick animals using mime, hypnotism and live reality TV.
3:42. Lamas make noises.

Sometimes he's in boy mode, other times he's in girl mode. Apparently he's in girl mode less these days, which I think he said was a strategy for being taken seriously by western media (because he's breaking into it). But he still does girl mode, so he says.

Barbara Danley Cause that's his thing? It's weird cause he's trans for 10+ years than suddenly stops and dresses like everyone else...then goes back to trans for another few years, then stops again. Being trans usually means being trans for your whole life, so stopping is a really rare unusual occurance in the LGBTQ community.
unit104099032 has he ever said he’s trans? He usually just said he’s a transvestite (someone who dresses in the clothes traditionally associated with a different gender)
"And this bit of material doesn't work with Lions" absolutely legendary writing.
I love how he got on, didn't know where to start. So he just went from the beginning. Brilliant!
Eddie is just a precious, PRECIOUS man...missing him here Stateside. THANK YOU for posting this.....
Eddie Izzard is a comedy genius and a true gent,hope he does a live tour soon!
Good to see old Eddie Izzard segments on here. Still looks great for 2008.
Bless your heart. I didn't think I'd be able to see any of this. So great to see him close up doing that material. Big thanks.

I love this man. Just love him. And he makes me laugh, thank you Eddie Izzard!
Actually hold me over a pond. Hold me over a pond. I want to see what I look like.

He stopped doing it when it wasn't considered edgy anymore. Now it's more taboo to be a normal straight dude
Magic man he didn’t stop lol
Pretty hunky when in blokey mode, though. I believe he is now Susie/Eddie ?

Aw such fond memories of the Stripped show in New York! Fantabulous! Eddie , you're the mostest!
Wow, Eddie killed it here
We owe so much to Jeff...
Stone age must have been new age at the time....

Oh you’ve got a stone? How very modern of you, Jeffrey.
These damn hippies, walking around with their stones all the time, killing animals so efficiently!
Brilliant! Absolutly brilliant!
Me too! Gonna be great!

Nah. Lee Evans is much funnier

“sorry, I was dead at the time” would still work
best act of the whole show..hands down

The Giraffes are playing Charades and the word is Tiger! TIE-ger! Now I get it!

Doktor Pantaleon why charades?

omg. loveeee eddie!!!
anyone know where i could find all of secret policeman's ball for this yr?
eddie is wonderful

Yeah they are awesome
Love The Izz.
LMAO
I now love eddie :D
and then waited a fucking forever.. I just love that sentence :D
No one goes "uuummm" better than Eddie
Before the Stone Age, there was the Stick Age, before that....😆

A lot of charactors Eddie acts out are called Jeff. :P
He secretly wanted to be called Jeff as a kid and not Eddie. Though his middle name is John
Eddie Izzard for GOD!
Yeeah...T_T He looked really good in them.....he had style, stills does, but still....T_T
LOVE YOU EDDIE!!!! :)

this is a early version of Eddie Izzard Stripped, for anyone interested.
"Mr. Squirrel said so."
So, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes.
I love being a "Jeff" watching Eddie Izzard. I am Jeff Vader!
Yes
This is like a speed gig. I've seen some videos where he was explaining that tie-grr part for like 7 minutes
this guy, makes religion, SO MUCH EFFING BETTER TO LISTEN TO

All faiths pose a greater threat. Those that believe in something are more prone to be violent than those that believe in nothing.

I love the idea that christians are offended by this, they bloody well deserve to be.

He is very attractive with the facial hair
"Genesislover" could very well refer to the band Genesis. Cool your jets.
he looks fantastic in man clothes!! absolutely gorgeous!!

@Ladynoopie Word?? Hope he goes back on tour soon . The comedy clubs I have been going too are lacking in the good comedy department.

so ture, so ture
Two sheep in the Bible refers to two Ram sheep and their six Ewes per Ram. That’s how sheep were counted.
hes not in drag?
If Jesus was Joshua, then the sons of God would be Ashua, Boshua, Coshua, Doshua…

@TheAlienGod ...But he's from Europe.
epic of gligamesh came before noah. but do we ever say that? that the noah story was lifted from a sumarian legend?
tomitstube Gilgamesh and all those Sumerian tales are amazing.
I'm a straight dude, but I still noticed that he looks handsome when not in drag (Not that he is unattractive in drag.)
