Eddie Izzard--a strong candidate for the funniest human being alive--hosts an entertaining smorgasbord of musicians and stand-up comics at this benefit event celebrating Amnesty International's 40th anniversary. Some of the humor trades heavily on British references and the comedians are largely unknown in the U.S., but that doesn't keep them from being very funny. Musicians include U2, Badly Drawn Boy, and Tom Jones, who all deliver stirring performances. Political references are surprisingly few, but there are some pointed bits--Jeremy Hardy sardonically notes: "Why would the police bother to arrest innocent people? Because they are easier to catch." Not only does Izzard (Glorious, Dress to Kill) sprinkle a variety of short routines throughout the show, another comic will delight Izzard fans with his spot-on imitation of how Izzard would play the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. --Bret Fetzer

Once a very long time ago, I remember a stand up comedian doing a joke about those guys who stand at the side of the road with signs saying "Will Work for Food" and replying: "Screw you! I'm working for Visa!" and adding "This is why they don't invite me to Comic Relief 2 Part 1 with Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, Etc.." I was thinking of that line when I was watching this show. Charity shows are good for you. They make you feel good about yourself and they make all the comedians ... Read More

I was a little disappointed in this DVD because I expected it to contain more Eddie Izzard footage, rather than numerous other comedians, most of whom I don't know.

As a devout Eddie Izzard fan, I was disappointed that he appeared so seldom in this DVD. The other comics varied in their performances, from giving a giggle to being obnoxious. Eddie, of course, was brilliant as an emcee, but this is NOT an Eddie Izzard classic. Real fans need to choose Glorious or Dress to Kill.

Unless you are British and have received a steady diet of British humor, there are large swathes of this DVD that will be unfunny. However, Eddie Izzard is a bright spot, as is the comedian that impersonates Eddie (until Eddie lobs a bottle of Evian at him.) The redo of "The Four Yorkshiremen" skit (originally by Monty Python) was *almost* funny enough to carry the show - Alan Rickman doing comedy doesn't happen often enough.
Sadly, the 20 minutes that made me laugh weren't worth the ... Read More

I am aware that it was for charity and that it was not all eddie, but was not pleased with any of the comedians other than eddie and the one before him (i think). There was a guy that looked like a turtle that i thought was going to slip in his own sweat and shaking. There was also a group of guys that hurt my throat listening to them talk, at first I thought they were kidding but.... eh.. Its just- nobody was funny.. Overall, not worth paying $15 bucks for. $5 or $10 would have suited better. ... Read More
