Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Eddie does material about the Bible, whose voice does he use for God?

Answer: James Mason

Mainly because he can't do many impressions. James Mason also stood in for JFK in a routine. Sean Connery is generally Noah.

2. According to Eddie's stand-up about his sexuality, which of these is he NOT?

Answer: An old queen

Although a cross-dresser, he is straight - as he explains, 'Most transvestites fancy girls.'

3. In Mr Izzard's routine about 'The Great Escape', what are the English POWs forged passports made from?

Answer: Tin can and some jam

When they get to the border control, the guards are a bit suspicious: 'It's a bit clangy and a bit jammy...' - 'Yes, I come from the steel and jam area of Stuttgart.'

4. What, according to Eddie, is your cat doing behind your sofa?

Answer: Drilling

You think it's purring, but no! It's all right, it's got goggles.

5. Which of these is NOT one of Mr Izzard's shows?

Answer: Birdstrike

Eddie is unlike many comedians in that he has done very little stand-up on TV - his shows are available on video or audio cassette only. A gamble that's paid off, giving him something of a 'rock star' status. 'Birdstrike' is a Harry Hill show - and bloody funny it is too.

6. Eddie discusses the name Hitler, and how it could never be used now as a brand name. Apart from grapes, what other product might the Hitler brand name have graced?

Answer: Knee balm

Jam made by Nazis (but not Hitler specifically) is mentioned.

7. In Eddie's rant about Pavlov, what nationality did he become, due to excitement, during his dog behaviour experiments?

Answer: Welsh

Mr I says his cat results would have let him down badly - they were hushed up.

8. What does Eddie think the Queen should do to earn the respect of ordinary people?

Answer: Kill a crazy dog

... with a handbag with a brick in it! Contrary to what the British National Anthem would have you believe the Queen does not need saving - she lives in a big house with guards and lots of money. Killing the crazy dog would show that she can fight for survival like the rest of us!

9. In Izzard's world, at what age do old ladies start shouting out their age?

Answer: 82

They also start to wear 'cake on the head' type hats around this time.

10. And what do old ladies buy at the supermarket?

Answer: Hair-nets and dog food

The hair nets are necessary because of the hair thieves ...

11. What did JFK say he was, in Mr Izzard's opinion, while visiting Berlin?

Answer: A doughnut

Kennedy must have thought that 'Ich bin ein Berliner,' means 'I am a doughnut'.

12. If the Bodyshop don't test their products on animals, what might the 'blue stuff' they discover in Eddie's routine be tested on?

Answer: A banjo

It could then be used for Bodyshop knee balm.

13. Bexhill, where Eddie hails from, is well known for being full of oldsters. What was the name of the old lady who was Eddie's playmate as a child?

Answer: Mrs Stevens

Mrs Heimlich's husband invented the famous manouvre. Mrs Badcrumble was Eddie's clarinet teacher. Slup Bun Waller was one of the many names suggested to Englebert Humpledink while still known as Gerry Dorsey.

14. What do beekeepers cry when they lose their concentration?

Answer: I'm covered in bees!

Because they're ... covered in bees.

15. What does Eddie have with regard to computers, technology and machines?

Answer: Techno joy

As he says, 'Throw the instructions out the window - I must know how this works, I've used machines before!'

16. In Eddie's routine about 007, which of these did James Bond NOT have as a gadget?

Answer: Voice synthesizer

The agent of Spector had a voice synthesiser placed in his throat.

17. What did Mrs Thatcher get instead of a heart, because God was running out of time during Genesis?

Answer: A stone

Which explains a lot.

18. When Eddie was growing up he wanted to join the Army?

Answer: True

He did - honest! He liked the 'running, jumping, climbing trees' part of it (because he was a 'male tomboy'). The down side was that 'There's not a lot of make-up in the Army. They only have that night-time look, and that's a bit slap dash.

19. What hymn is sung in Eddie's material about the Church of England?

Answer: Oh God what on earth is my hair-do all about?

At the church door the vicar says, 'Do come in, you're the only one today.'

20. "Before the Romans stole all the Greek gods, they had these crap gods, like Geoff the god of _________ " ?

Answer: Biscuits

Simon is the god of hair-dos, obviously.
