It is surprising that so many people are unfamiliar with one of the funniest comedians working today- Eddie Izzard. Although Eddie Izzard has had notable roles in such films as "Mystery Men," "Shadow of the Vampire," "Velvet Goldmine" and "Cat’s Meow" the familiarity with his stand-up comedy genius has been limited to those fortunate enough to see his live tours or who have seen his HBO specials. That's about to change... Now on DVD Dress to Kill is nearly two hours of side splitting standup which rarely, if ever, misses its mark. We had a chance to sit down with Eddie Izzard to talk about the DVD release of Dress to Kill it was as fun and amusing as his stage performance and he talked a lot about his perspective on DVD, what he's working on, and when his next tour will be. Read the complete interview with Eddie Izzard. Also be sure to check out past DVD Talk Interviews including recent interviews with Kevin Smith and Jill Sprechter
