I believe that Eddie Izzard's hilarity is in direct proportion to how hot his clothes are. The better the clothes--particularly pants and shoes--the better the comedy. Thanks to Netflix I have come up with this theory, the basis for my future doctoral thesis. I'm quite excited.I mean, I've been searching for what to do with my life. First and english degree, then an MFA. What was I planning with those? But no. Now, now I know. I excel at TV watching. In a practical vein I might say I want to become a TV writer--but I'd rather write a thesis on comedy linked to a comedian's fashion. I can sound smarmy. And be called Dr. I can get money for talking about my findings and make appearances on I Love the [Insert Decade Here]. What's not to love?
Cake or Death? A little Muttley with your Bond? He's wearing hot black pants and high-heeled shoes for both. Trust me. Be guided by his clothes.
Also, just enjoy. He makes history and language funny. And really is dressed to kill.
Cheers,
LV

My favorite so far (and keep in mind I haven't seen Sexie or any of his newer stuff) is definitely the bright orange velvet double-breasted jacket he wore for Definite Article. Although the iridescent pantsuit from what was it, Glorious, is delightful.
That's the one I was watching last night!
