"Sheer Comic Genius. His humor reflects the scattershot lunacy of Monty Python, but with flashes of Robin Williams' manic energy and a sophisticated silliness that is entirely his own. He is the most brilliant stand-up comedian of his generation." - The New York Times
"He walks onstage to the roaring tumult usually reserved for rock stars and soon has the audience busting a gut about the Spanish Inquisition and chaos theory. Such is the phenomenon of Eddie Izzard, funniest man, in, well, pretty much all of the known universe." - The LA Times
"He has the acid snap of a white Richard Pryor and John Cleese calls him the funniest man in England and the "Lost Python." No surprise: Izzard's whimsical, sophisticated and often bizarre monologues do delve deeply into Monty-Python-like absurdity." - Toronto Star Critics Pick
