Eddie Izzard re-enacted in legos

These have been around for a while, but I never spent the time to find the whole list. Basically Eddie Izzard skits acted out in stop motion using legos. As I love the original stand-up comedy, the legos are an added (but well executed) bonus.

  • Eddie Izzard: Stripped

    Saw Eddie Izzard last night at DAR Constitution Hall last night with J. The acoustics were horrible, so I only caught about 85% of the show. It was pretty fresh, unlike Sexie. He did riffs on Wikipedia (pulling out an iPhone on stage to look something up in Wikipedia), Apple vs PC Software updates, god vs. no god, the history of the world, intelligent design vs. evolution, and how some figures from the bible were probably real. Many God and Dinosaur impressions - no Sean Connery, no James Mason. Oh yeah, and no womens’ clothing.

      The quotable lines, I believe, will be:

    • “Monkey, Monkey, Monkey, You”
    • Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s ox? That’s the whole basis of trade!
    • The bible journalists were here!
    • Rawr (dinosaur impression)

    The DC crowd was a bit antsy since the show started almost 30 minutes late and, as mentioned, the acoustics sucked. There was a lot of yelling from the audience for Eddie to this this and that, which he took graciously for most of the show. Some of his stuff did fall flat (there was a lot more of the “scribbling notes to self about not using this joke or that joke” than in the previous acts I’ve seen).

    Dressed to Kill still sets the bar, but, in my opinion, this takes the second spot easily.
