It pains me to say it, but it would appear not. Unrepeatable - hilarious; Definite Article - just so very funny; Glorious - funny, well scripted; Dress to Kill - a bit thin in patches, but still consistently pretty good.
I hear Circle is really terrible, and when I saw him this time last year at the O2, I found myself not laughing a lot more than I expected.
I struggled to work out why; the best I could do is that Eddie Izzard set the bar 10-14 years ago. He was the funniest man in standup (and let's not forget, Barrymore was still going strong at that point). Since then, more than one wave of new comedians have come and gone. Ross Noble has taken the 'telling a story that doesn't ever end but is **** funny' part and given it his own twist; Peter Kay has taken another angle; Michael Mcyntire has done the nice but dim thing to death.
And they've all, in their own way, built on what Eddie Izzard started, to the point that you see him live and think 'this isn't as good as it used to be'. Or something. Crowds don't go nuts for cats playing jazz trumpet the way they used to
