ussel Peters is great! A fantastic comedian who is so successful because he unashamedly makes fun of everybody and everyone. From Tap-some-Bong to SomebodyGonnaGetHurtRealBad. No favourites there! Also being Indian and having a potential 1.2 billion people audience sure doesn’t hurt his popularity. I mean, you just have to be Indian to truly get his jokes! Sure the white boys like it.. but u don’t really get it unless you’ve grown up like that. The first time I heard him I had aches in my sides for days. Well maybe for a few hours but you get my drift.
Now you must be wondering why I’m talking about Russell Peters when this post is titled ‘Eddie Izzard’. This has been subtly (ahem) done to help you truly appreciate the scope and breadth of what Im goin to say next. … …. … Eddie Izzard simply blows Russell Peters away. Its like comparing a redneck to an etiquette counselor! Eddie Izzard is true comedic genius who intersperses intellectual comedy with brilliant situational comedy. The most fascinating thing is that you get the impression that he’s doing the show primarily to please himself, and that if we (the audience) laugh its simply a by product that he doesn’t really care too much about. Only he can pull of what he does. Only he.
I remember that a few weeks after watching my first Eddie Izzard show, I switched over to some Russell peters, and he just seemed so bland and repetitive while previously he was My God of comedy. This is what Izzard does to you. Do yourself a favour and watch him. If you don’t like him you have probably never dated your whole life (going by the principle that girls like people WITH a sense of humour).
