Eddie Izzard...

If you don't laugh at Eddie Izzard, you have no sense of humor and we can't be friends. I'm sorry but that's the way it is. I use Dressed to Kill as a litmus test and if someone can't get past the clothes and make-up to hear how funny he is, then that person can't be my friend.
that said, I went to see him on Friday night and he was hilarious. And he looked so butch! No make-up (and there a lack of trannies at the show which was a little disappointing), jeans, a t-shirt and a semi-elaborate jacket with tails-cool but nowhere near his usual elaboate outfits that usually include a dress and lots of make-up. I read an interview where he made it clear he did not want the trannie thing to interfere with getting movie parts and that he wanted to do more than just be the token British transvestite. Hence the jeans, t-shirt and goatee (one of the few men who can really carry it off). But the point is that he was hilarious. You can't quote his lines and sound funny because many times it's all in the context, along with his delivery and timing. But if you get the chance to see him-do it! It was $60 and worth every penny.
