Trivia:
Eddie's stage prop is a very large open book with selections of text from various examples of classical fiction projected onto the pages. Selections include "The Proposal" by Anton Chekhov, Shakespeare's "Macbeth" Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" and "The Mayor of Casterbridge" by Thomas Hardy. In all selections of text every word "the" is replaced by "definite article." Hence the title of the video production. For instance: "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:" is replaced by, "'Twas brillig, and definite article slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in definite article wabe:" moreQuotes:
Eddie: Horseshoes are lucky. Horses have four bits of lucky nailed to their feet. They should be the luckiest animals in the world. They should rule the country. They should win all their horse races, at least. "In the fifth race today, every single horse was first equal... one horse dropped a shoe came in fourth... the duck came in ninth... five ran." moreFAQ

Awesome. Really clever wit and a style all his own...GO EDDIE! James Mason IS God!!! If you have some cash and are thinking of buying a new DVD, do yourself a favour in buying any of Izzards live shows. This man is hilarity personified. It helps if you know a bit about the history of the world and aren't put off by English accents, but any stoners with any cells left should get this (or any Izzard shows) NOW! Think of a mildly eccentric, calmer English version of Bill Hicks. Maybe I'm a bit off the mark, but I lurves Hicks, and I'm sure Bill's got some Izzard DVDs up in heaven.
Did I just blaspheme?!!
