Review

once izzard gets past the obligatory “yes, i’m a transvestite” jokes and the pandering to the san francisco audience with the “there’s a lot of fog in this city” jokes, it’s a pretty funny performance. most of his comedy is based on historical humor from stonehenge to world war II. actually his funniest bit was when he said englebert humperdinck was dead and then he made a face and shook his head like “no he’s not,” then he elongated his face and bobbed his head as if to say “yes, yes he is.” it went back and forth like that for a while and really was more funny than it sounds. the film itself is even less of a film than the margaret cho film so there’s nothing to comment on there. funny stuff overall, but still no dave chappelle.
