This was just... well... he ruined so many things for me. I can't watch The Great Escape without laughing at Eddie Izzard now. I went to Italy and would giggle out of the blue because of Eddie Izzard... ... and, honestly, I stole so many jokes from him when I was teaching history that I probably owe him royalties. I saw it when I was 19 and I thought it was hysterical, now it's 2022 and I still laugh randomly when things remind me of Dressed to Kill. It's timeless, it is memorable, and it's probably one of the funniest stand-ups you will ever see. I can't even read about the moon landing without laughing at Eddie Izzard now. This should go down in history as one of the funniest stand-up shows of all time. It's a magnum opus of comedy. Eddie Izzard should be proud, this is going to stand the test of time.
