One of my favorite comedians is Eddie Izzard. My grandmother thinks he a bit weird (he dresses a bit… er… non-traditional). But he is hilarious. So smart. So funny. And in most ways, clean. (He does use some curse words, true, and so he’d never work for a corporate audience. But still, I think he is funny.)

Hearing him talk about simple things like cats, doing the laundry, and how pears seem to ripen suddenly and then spring into “rotten” is just great. What an awesome comedian.
