Eddie Izzard is an extremely successful stand up comedian who has covered a multitude of topics over his career. This bit was taken from his DVD entitled Eddie Izzard: Glorious. In this, he discusses the irrational fear of new technology, portrayal of computer use in the media, frustration with modern technology, and the end of the world will be a result of computer misues. Eddie is playing off of the common frustrations that many people have with their computers for this entire segment. He brings together the audience (anyone who’s ever used a computer) with his frustrations.
Glorious. Dir. Peter Richardson. Videocassette, Universal Pictures Video. 2004.
