In Dress to Kill, Eddie Izzard spins free-flowing jokes about San Francisco (where the comedy concert was filmed), transvestitism, squirrels, American optimism, Hitler, the British royal family, mass murder, and Stonehenge--and that's only the first 30 minutes. It's as if this ingenious comedian says whatever comes off the top of his head, but giving that impression demands cunning and skill; Izzard romps through human history and transforms surprisingly complex ideas into biting satire--as well as knockout bits of sublime frivolity, like describing the movie Speed entirely in French. His mercurial patter is sprinkled with four-letter words, but his twinkling glances make this more mischievous than crude. Izzard has delivered some excellent performances in movies (like Velvet Goldmine and The Cat's Meow), but it's on stage that he really explodes with daffy wit and charisma. Simply brilliant and completely addictive; you will want to watch this over and over. --Bret Fetzer

cake or death? July 9, 2008
. Dress to Kill Eddie Izzard at the top of his form. Friends either find him sensational or don't like his kind of humor. There seems to be no in-between. This DVD is preceded by a regrettable bit of nonsense re San Francisco that might discourage new viewers from getting on to his marvelous stage presentation. His NY presentation of this show, shown on HBO, was better, mostly since it didn't have the terrible introductory material in this DVD. Looking forward to a DVD of his current show, "Stripped".
Must-have Izzard, absolutely excellent! July 4, 2008
Smart, quick and extremely funny, Izzard is amazing in Dress to Kill. Excellent choice if you've just heard of him (shame on you!), for this will make a die-hard fan out of everyone. I usually find myself quoting his lines in everyday situations.
Dress to Kill is funny the first time you watch it, but it gets better when you watch it again, and again, and again... It's genius.
I would definitely recommend buying D2K together with Glorious (and then you're hooked... so you'll probably end up buying all of the others anyway)
Looking forward to DVDs of his more recent shows!
One of the all-time great stand-up shows July 3, 2008
I do love Eddie Izzard in general, though I haven't been able to see all of his work. However, this is easily one of my favorite stand-up performances of any comedian and is well worth watching for anyone who's willing to step out of traditional American comics. Highly, highly recommended.
 brilliant May 27, 2008
I am a huge Eddie Izzard fan and this is by far his best to date. Thoroughly recommend it!
Good Stuff April 8, 2008
Entertaining, intellectual, and funny. A must see, especially if you are a lover of comedy, and history.
