While many people know Jeff Foxworthy from the hit television show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, he is also the largest-selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy® Award nominee, and bestselling author of more than twenty-three books, including the New York Times bestselling Dirt on My Shirt.

Dirt on My Shirt is a hilarious collection of poems that Foxworthy uses to create a neighborhood filled with fun, family, friends, and more.

From the thrill of flying to the imaginary planet Woosocket to bonding with a friend over a shared hatred of spinach, these poems capture the very essence of being a kid.

In this book you’ll meet Uncle Ed, Cousin Lizzy, and Aunt Foo Foo, cows with horns that don’t go beep, dads in sweaters, also sheep. Filled with sly humor and always affectionate, Dirt on My Shirt is sure to delight kids, big and little, everywhere.

What else does Foxworthy do when he’s not writing books and starring on hit TV shows? You can also catch Jeff Foxworthy on his syndicated weekly radio show, The Foxworthy Countdown which is carried in more than 220 markets across the United States.

Author, comedian, television star and more…It’s no wonder that Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country.

It could be said that Eddie Izzard is one of those rare comedians who has the ability to produce and deliver intelligent high impact stand-up comedy material without talking down to an audience.

Few comedians can compare with Izzard, who can spin comic gold out of papal history, monkeys with guns, Jesus preaching to the dinosaurs, and cafeteria food on the Death Star.

Circle (DVD) is taken from his stand-up tour in 2000 and doesn’t have the astonishingly seamless free-associative flow of Glorious or Dress to Kill, his previous specials–which is to say, he’s only intermittently brilliant, instead of supernaturally nonstop brilliant.

We’ll take what we can get, because Izzard can slip in surprisingly stinging commentary about international politics and religion, yet his impish smile suggests that he’s only pointing out the obvious. 

Izzard quickly tosses out an idea and then plays with it like a cat plays with a mouse, flipping it around, teasing it out, pouncing, and then letting it go, only to sneak back up on it just when you’d forgetten it was there.

Cheeky, subversive, and very, very funny. Enjoy the best of live comedy with the master of sublime (more…)

Please note that Eddie Izzard is one of the comedians featured in the Killer Stand-up Comedy System as a stellar example of the more new, more converstational style of stand-up comedy as opposed to the old school “set-up/punchline” sort of approach.
