Theatrical Release Date: September 23, 2003 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: No one but madcap stand-up comedian Eddie Izzard can spin comic gold out of papal history, monkeys with guns, Jesus preaching to the dinosaurs, and cafeteria food on the Death Star. Circle, taken from his stand-up tour in 2000, doesn't have the astonishingly seamless free-associative flow of Glorious or Dress to Kill, his previous specials--which is to say, he's only intermittently brilliant, instead of supernaturally nonstop brilliant. We'll take what we can get, because Izzard can slip in surprisingly stinging commentary about international politics and religion, yet his impish smile suggests that he's only pointing out the obvious. He tosses out an idea and then plays with it like a cat plays with a mouse, flipping it around, teasing it out, pouncing, and then letting it go, only to sneak back up on it just when you'd forgetten it was there. Cheeky, subversive, and very, very funny. --Bret Fetzer Description: Live comedy with the master of sublime weirdness, Eddie Izzard, recorded in New York, 26 June 2000.

 Rating:  - A hit misses in New YorkEddie Izzard is easily my favorite comedian. But circle, was dissappointing, but I'm going to give Izzard a break. "Unrepeatable" "Definite Article" and "Glorious" were performed in England. And in front of his type of crowd (an english crowd) He's a riot. Because he's an englishman, He talks english, so english people get him. "Dress To Kill" was in San Fransisco. And it was a freaking riot. So Eddie Izzard in New York doing "Circle" should be amazing shouldn't it? Well, ... Read More Rating:  - Eddie Izzard - CircleI love this dvd. I was first introduced to Eddie Izzard's work when I saw his dvd of Dress to Kill and then I couldn't get enough of him. I took this dvd with me to my aunt's house for an extended visit last year and let her borrow it after I left. It took her awhile to tell me that it had been lost, so I've had to buy a second copy. Oh Well! It is my favorite of all his performances (and now I have them all.) If it turns up, they'll have a great dvd to keep. My 13 year old cousin can all but ... Read More Rating: - Not up to Izzard standardsWe are huge Eddie Izzard fans, have all his cd's and dvd's of concerts, have seen him live twice, love The Riches, but..... This dvd concert is not up to his usual genius. It is funny in parts but he seems disinterested, distracted and almost annoyed with the show. So was I. Rating: - Izzard RocksEddie Izzard has to be just about the best comic around. My upper division English teacher in college showed us some of "Dress to Kill," and the class was cracking up. I watch everything of his I can get my hands on. Rating: - izzard is the wizzard! Eddie Izzard is the best comedian of this age, no doubt. Is he smart? Yeah! Does he make you laugh for hours? Yeah! The point is his intellectual capacity and quality makes his show even more interesting. Comedians are observes I belive, they observe things. Think of one and only Jerry Seinfeld. He is funny, he has lots of things to say about anything. So does Eddie. But Eddie loves to talk about politics, history, war, humanity etc. He sure observes moreover he reads, he writes, he ...
