Wondeful entry WD . I even sent to my wife who also loved it!
Only further comment I can make is 'Cake or Death?', which you could've mentioned. It's my favourite sketch . But you already have a lot of sketches in there.
Nice one

I'm glad yourself and Mrs Ste enjoyed the entry -
I did think about including 'cake or death? , cake please...' but it would have looked really in text, as it would be taken so out of context - also, I wanted to keep the best bits out of the entry, as those bits, 'cake or death' et al, are best seen fresh rather than second time round
Also, as the entry is now pushing over 3000 words, I don't really want to add more quotes to the entry
Thanks for commenting
Any further comments will be, as always, gratefully received
Stay ,
WD

Just wanted to post a quick thumbs-up. I'm sure everyone will have hir own favourite Izzard moments (I like the 'Executive Transvestite' line) but this is a great entry - talks about lots of stuff, but keeps moving at a quick pace - couldn't tear myself away from it

Just bumped into my ex-flatmate with the izzard fixation, and it's "Dressed To Kill" that's got the furry red suit on the cover.

Excellent entry on a wonderful performer, and a certainty for the Edited Guide. It's a great read - comprehensive, well-written and highly entertaining. Very well done!
My one minor quibble is with the (repeated) phrase 'self-confessed Europhile', which implies that there's something wrong with liking things European. Perhaps 'self-proclaimed Europhile' would be better?

Probably - I was writing this a bit late at night, so my thinking skills may not have been as sharp....
*off to change that now*
Glad you liked it

Brilliant entry Witty Ditty! Possibly only Billy Connoly can make me laugh more than Eddy Izzard so this gets my very enthusiastic approval!
