glorious

A number of words derived from the alphabet making a sentence in which to try and explain Eddie Izzard. Make of it what you will.

"A comic of genuine genius" - Daily Mail

"The show starts with the beginning of time and my stupid version of it, and it goes through The Grim Reaper and Toasters and Shower Units and the Pope and the Siege of Troy and Robin Hood and Computer Technology and I'm trying to get the book of Revelations to spin around it."

"I chose 'Glorious' because in interviews I tend to get po-faced and go on about comedy and I'm always banging on about sexuality, and I thought I'd get back to enjoying it"

"Glorious is in your face and upbeat and stupid but I wanted the imagery to get darker as a counterpoint. "There is a huge set with a big Dome; it's like the end of Planet of the Apes, where they have the Statue of Liberty. In our set the dome is like St Paul's crashed on its side in a kind of an end of the planet scenario"
