199799 min7.4 / 10

A high-energy stand-up comedy special that uses absurdist humor and religious subject matter to create an irreverent, intellectually playful meditation on existence and identity.

Eddie Izzard's routine has a loose trajectory from the beginning of the Old Testament and the creation of the world in seven days to Revelations. Along the way, we learn of the search for a career, bad giraffes, Prince Philip's gaffes, toilets in French campsites, the mysteries of hopscotch, becoming one's Dad and tranny bashing.
