I grew up in a small town and was pretty closed minded as a kid until a girl moved to town from New York and brought his stand up shows with her. I remember sitting in her living room and laughing my head off and just having my mind blown. Love him to this day and I'm a better person for having encountered his comedy.
close minded in what sense
Forget the Hokey Pokey; THIS is what it’s all about! Kudos to you for being open to the possibility of learning and growing through laughter.
Thanks for sharing!
?
I heavily doubt this lol

Says the guy still stuck in 1962 😂
eddie izzard can make you laugh and make you smarter at the same time
May I suggest you check out The Dollop podcast (American history/comedy/improv)
It's why I love him
I wish my history teachers had been more like him. 😂😂😂
"They set off in Plymouth and landed in Plymouth, how lucky is that?" Almost wet myself from laughing.
One of the best lines; "Britan, what's what s that behind your back, 'India and a number of other countries.' Give them back." Great!!!
I know right? Classic love it
@@pisto30 🤣🤣🤣
aaajjjajajjaa...he´s so gorgeously funny! Lo amamos.
I’ve actually started using this line in my History class. Get a lot of laughs!
yeah and also not giving back Hongkong until 1997
She's one of our greatest standups ever! Ciao!
Who? Joan Rivers? I think you’re commenting on the wrong video although they’re both great comedians.
@@BarterTom no, Megg is definitely talking about this video. I agree, she is probably the best and smartest comedian out there. I’d love to see her live.
@@JoRdAn941000 Well she’s dead so sorry. But Eddie is indeed great; shame he’s unwell at the moment.
@@BarterTom No, I’m on about Eddie, she’s still alive.
@@JoRdAn941000 Indeed he is and hopefully will remain so although there is cause for worry as people who transition are at a high risk of suicide, as with all forms of self harm.
Hey, I'm only 9 years late to the party. Doesn't matter, good humor is timeless.
64t120r make that 20, this special was shot in ‘99 if I recall correctly
I had this DVD in (I think?) 1998. But yes, good comedy is timeless!
98 at his peak
It's from '98 :)
Cake or Death!
ive been watching this special since i was probably 10 years old…13 years later it stands up SO well and makes me laugh every time
I thought it was just me
I para quote the flag sketch, almost every day. People look at me blankly, I confuse them, they confuse me. Eddie Izzard: The paragon of best British Comedy.
You are sooooo right😂
'There's nobody here....'scuse me..' Has me lolling everybl**dytime!!!
Gitte Bjerre Braae yes! A land empty of human existan-who the fuck are these guys?!?
What's all this, please?
No we dont want any of your food thank you very much, just put some clothes on. Meanwhile that winter...excuse me, do you have any food? Love all that!
That face he makes after he says, "Just put some clothes on!" Holy shit lol... gets me everytime.
I know, right, that's my favorite bit too. XD
I remember watching this show for the first time. This almost killed me. My stomach hurt sooo bad. Eddie is a legend.
I saw him do this show live. I nearly passed out from lack of oxygen because I was laughing SOOOO hard the entire time. My family were by far the loudest and longest laughers in the crowd. My mascara had totally dripped off and I could be barely straighten up to standing when it was time to leave. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Eddie never disappoints.
They’ll cure what ails ya that’s for sure! To be honest, Eddie’s shows should be available over the counter.
Apetta un minuto…
*THEY ALREADY ARE!* 😋
🤪👍
Audio recording of the Italian peoples' reaction to Mussolini's first ever speech as dictator of Italy:
"We're all fascist."
"Uhh, all right... Ciao."
Why do people always repeat what we all just watched? I don't understand.
@@krisfrederick5001 Uhh, all right...Ciao!
@Jacob Zondag Ha, yeah. I guess it's just them repeating their favorite parts but, still. I'm just an asshole apparently.
greetings from Italy.. Ciao..
@@domet80 you typing on a scooter then? :-)
Learnt more history watching Eddie Izzard than I did at school.
Do you have a flag?
@@lukusblack6442Never-mind, maybe that can come in useful later. 😬
My daughter passed many tests, in school, thanks to Eddie Izzard!!!
Dea' haha that's great to hear! I was the same as a child :) the history bits are probably the reason my parents let my buy the Dress to Kill DVD haha
aaaaajjajajjaaaa...congrats!
Testing must be ridiculous
Yeah the testing is ridiculous. They only ask one question. They say, who are you?.... and she got 75% on that.
Thanks to Eddie for giving me the correct perspective on history, religion, etc

There's nothing better than this. So intelligent.
I’m one semester away from a Native American Studies minor, and I reference this all the time!! A perfect summation of Native-US relations; if you’re interested, check out the role the Oneida nation played in the Revolutionary War- and what they got in return!! “Yes yes, we all keep our promises...”
How many tribal wars did the native Americans have? Did you read about how they would slaughter every man and boy from opposing tribes and Stockholm syndrome the young women to join their tribe?
Love Eddie Izard. This is an old performance but my very favourite.
Eddie at the pinnacle of her career . Bravo
And that is exactly difference between Germans and English : English have critics . Germans have , too, only ...
His career 😂
@@goodputin4324her
This might be one of the greatest standup bits of all time.
but we need the falkland islands, for stategic sheep purposes!
And having an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Southern hemisphere.
Falklands has been british basically since it was first settled.
The argies can frankly fuck off. It was never theirs. Not at any point in its history.
@@sugarnads 1830 gauchos niggas be like: "am I a joke to you?"
and the french and the spanish and some natives in the 1400
@@sugarnads it is british and all of 3 falklanders voted for union with argentina, but it's still a funny joke
they sett off in plymouth and landed in plymouth -how lucky is that? 😂😂😂
I love how he says it was in "sixteen b'th'f'th." As if to punctuate just how meaningful it is to teach every single kid all the exact dates of things happening... take me for example, I can't remember a single "great event" year in my country's history or any other's. Find myself caring more about what happened, and why, for some reason.^^
@@hazukichanx408 it's important to know a bit about dates, so you don't go around claiming that Henry the 8th fought Napoleon (I have seen it happen) but you don;t need to know every exact year.
@@Blackadder75 or you know... if you know you don't know local/world history... then be logical avoid discourse revolving around it?
I know, @Sarah Celik, and I speak as someone who was born in Plymouth....not the one in the U.S.A. but the real one. Add to this the confusion when I tell people that I lived most of my life in Manchester....once again the real one and not the one that the Americans stole from us. Conversation between myself and your typical American.
American: " Where were you born? "
Me: " Plymouth. "
American: " Oh, Plymouth in Massachusetts? "
Me: " No, the real one. "
American: " Duh, okay then where have you lived most of your life? "
Me: " Manchester. "
American: " Oh, Manchester, New Hampshire? "
Me: " No, Manchester in Greater Manchester. You know, the real one again! "
American sighs, gives up and goes off and hangs himself.
Me: " It's a good job that I didn't tell him about my relatives who live in Derby, Boston in Lincolnshire, Edmonton in London or those in Birmingham, isn't it? It could've got even messier a lot sooner, couldn't it? "
@@Phil_A_O_Fish I pleas the 5th Dimension.

They set off from Plymouth.... And landed in Plymouth... HOW LUCKY IS THAT
We've gone 'round in a circle, lads. Back on the boat.
It would've been better if the new Plymouth had landed on them.
Loved them then and love her now!! ❤️
I love his humour ❤
Thank you for intelligent humor Ed, especially considering this is as close to a history lesson some kids or people will get. Love it
He definitely makes it more interesting. 🥰
I've watched this special at least a thousand times and it still makes me obnoxiously laugh, which is obviously how you know it's funny :P
Ciao! Fantastic the way he says "Ciao"!!!
@Giuseppe Corona Ciao!!!
I would have learned so much if he was my history teacher and history would have been my favorite subject 😂
She
"They set off from Plymouth and landed in Plymouth, how lucky is that?"
🤣🤣🤣
Best of the BEST!!!!!!! Laugh and learn untold history at the same time
"I was on the moon....with steve" 😂😂😂
Back here again to hear Britain say, "Wot?!"
😂🤣😂🤣 Anyone who can make the UK sound like a child caught red handed is a genius 🇬🇧😂
God, I wish Eddie Izzard had been my history teacher.
Eddie's figured out the key to world peace, why hasn't anyone else haha x)
lol I think they're worried about putting Germany and Japan in charge of peace.
@@klatewilson5170 Instead they trust America, and look at how well that's turned out.
@@AtlasBlizzard nope. We did put Germany in charge of peace, ie the EU. We didn't trust America,they just barge in without invitation and declare they are in charge
RANDOMPOKING987 no money to be made in PEACE.
@Hentai is an Art except there is a cluster fuck of proxy wars in the middle east since forever
One of the best of Eddie.
This guy is a genius.
Somehow, I'm 39 and I've just discovered this. He's the funniest stand up comic I've ever seen.
i just love his act!
"there's kids with beards, it's getting okay" 😂 how have I missed this seeing it so many times?
"They set off in Plymouth and landed in Plymouth, how lucky is that?"
Eddie Hazard is a genius, the cleverest wittiest performer EVER!
Eddie Hazard, coming this Summer
This is one of the best routines from him.
I love that I can revisit Eddie and connect again in each context. It ages like Kurt Vonnegut. Read it again. Accidental philosopher? Eddie transcended gender like a star transcends darkness. There is a God, Eddie, there is also a lot of noise. Keep going by... noticing raindrops on leaves during a quiet walk... sea mist on your face. Breathe, Jedi, the Force is strong with you. Stunning.
I love this guy he is so dam funny
Been in love with him for almost 20 years.
Must be a level of perjury lol. Awesome.
Brilliant comic
Excellent
Eddie is fantastic.
Love Eddie.
Love her, absolutely amazing. When she was still an executive transvestite we had a drinking game based on her wardrobe. No one made it 30mins
I love you Eddie
Love how we were taught that the first landing in Plymouth Rock in 1620 / when in fact the first landing and settlement was Jamestown in 1609... LOVE IT .. >chuckle
Jamestown was 1607. And there were actually some landings and temporary settlements before Jamestown. Jamestown was the first permanent one. Look up Roanoke North Carolina “the lost colony”.
That's probably becuz the English probably resorted to *cannabalism* in Jamestown, so they want us to forget about it...!!!🤔😉😲😜😋
@@paulheydarian1281 chuckles
I love Eddie's glow and twist! I could watch and listen endlessly...
Amazing
I saw an advert for Dressed to Kill on HBO in a magazine,never heard of him but I felt I HAD to watch,and it was amazing.Saw it in...97,I think,been watching and laughing and thinking!,ever since.
Eddie is the best!
The funniest comedic CD of all time is Izzard's Dressed to Kill.
His best work. Timeless, really.
Best history class ever!))
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
I can't wait for Eddie and Ewen Mac Gregor to play brothers in something
Now that you've said it, I kinda wanna see that too.
@@rebajoe Too late now Eddie transitioned fully
Ty good sir! Ya make my heart spur
He's just hilarious
4:26 When everyone else parrots the same _six million_ figure, but Eddie comes along and quite casually reminds you, “No, no, there were four million more that you've failed to remember!” 💛
2:50 that is fucking brilliant.
I learned history from him.
autuncle Eddie Always inspiring Cheers and .. cake please :D
Brilliant
“What’s all this please?”
He should totally teach history. 🤣🤣🤣
That´s exactly what he does. :)
I agree 100%
Better yet, do a comedy tour at college campuses. I would like to think he'd be accepted.
Robert Wahl also teaches history with humor in his HBO special half-hour shows.
gods!!!! i loooove Eddie Izaard! he’s the funniest guy around. he just cheers me up all the time. in 18xzxby he does that all the time and it’s always funny! why is he so funny! cause he’s “pretty”, has a great voice and a great delivery, intelligent so the material is great! and now that he doesn’t wear eye makeup anymore, he’s even better looking. love you, Eddie, sweetie :} 😼✨✨✨✨🎭
Love Eddie, the guy is hilarious!
my favourite comedian ever
Woaw very good comedian
Should be shown in schools! Heehee and the "excuse me" towards native Americans always makes me laugh
ReneeC43 we watched it with school today and just did a catch up with two wnole bloody tours!
Absolutely
Perjury 9 please...and cake!!! Ty🤣🤣🤣
Release the whole bloody thing, will yah? I remember so many bits from seeing this on cable a few decades back.
Thanks
"No we don't want any of your food, thank you very much."
Just put some clothes on!
Bravo, Mr. Nº 1!
Ciiiaaooo. I can’t stop saying it LOL.
I would LOVE to have the HBO Version of Dressed To Kill on Blu-ray. I’ve seen the one where they show Eddie talking about San Francisco before the show but it’s a completely different version then the HBO Version. I want the HBO Version.
Savage !
Has anyone else ever used "I was dead at the time" as an excuse?
Not as a kid but all the time now 😂
Yes. Also, giving multiple possibilities and asking: "What's the right answer?" :)
My mom just got back from a trip to Italy and the streets really are full of people on scooters,saying Ciao!
Ciao Eddie...😂😂❤👋
“I didn’t do it! I was dead at the time!” 😂
Strategic Sheep Purposes would make a great band name
are we getting a netflix, hulu, hbo speceial
Always truthful, intelligent and funny.
I watched a Ricky Gervais video a few minutes ago. I came here to feel better.
Aw man, you did the best thing by coming here lol
I still don't even know who Ricky Gervais is. Am I lucky or sheltered?
@@hernehaugen6878 Lucky. VERY lucky.
@@TheBermudaMan You are pathetic.
@@BarterTom Nowhere near as pathetic as your Edmund.
He's like a wrestler and "1776 will commence again!" is his catchphrase.
Genius
The fact that "perjury 9" hasgotten some people in way more trouble than "perjury 1" is what's wrong with society.
*vroom* CIAO
I like hearing a British account of early colonial America. Its so silly and ironic.
Flawless logic.
TRUE STORY!
i grew up in !MER!KA! (tm) and introduced people to Ms Izzard. i too consider myself an action transvestite and a minor history buff. during this skit we had to pause and explain most ov this to the people i was with.
at the end they respected transvestites because they thought that being pretty in a dress some how was linked to understanding history at a competant level.
how have you only got 69K subs ? ??? thinking of some of the dead heads on yt. I first came across you while in my first job, back around 1990 so I guess you've done ok!
Intelligent comedy is really the best
