My plan is to post something from each comedian recommended on Fiction Friday last week, in no particular order.
Last Friday I asked everyone to tell me about their comic muses last week on Fiction Friday, which is currently in a fugue state, and thinks it's Humor Friday. I must take to a specialist in Zurich. (Okay, I stole that from Woody Allen, whose early essays were one of my favorite things, at least until he started shacking up with his step-daughter.)
Anyway, many of them were classics, and most were at least familiar to me, but Rachel, over at Rachel's Ramblings, recommended Charlie Izzard, and he's a pip!
That was cute. Izzard was in a very strange TV series with Minnie Driver about gypsies in the US. Did you happen to see it. Can't remember the name.
ReplyDeleteI cannot think of that show either, but I liked it...although how long can you hide out in a mansion and have every neighbor or work acquaintance find out your secrets with out it blowing up in your face...I know a few people who cannot stand Izzard, but I find him fascinating (he had an HBO show recently too I DVR'd), and a great study of English humor...
ReplyDeleteNever heard of him before, but he is funny.
ReplyDeletei love eddie izzard like i love icecream.
ReplyDeletea lot.
Yep, I really do think that's my favourite sketch of all time.
ReplyDelete"Le singe est dans l'arbre," is all I have to say!
