Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review IEllen Degeneres/I represents the comic's triumphant return to stand-up after the cancellation of her controversial sit-com. It is a tighter set than one might expect, given the besottedness of the audience to which she is playing, and whenever she drifts into hippy-dippy New Age pieties it can be guaranteed that they will be subverted within seconds. The principal reference to her coming-out and the furore it created is an opening section in which she declines to talk about it and instead offers a hysterically funny interpretative dance version. Other highlights of the set include a prolonged meditation on what you do after zoning out in the middle of a conversation and why talking about Gloria Estefan always helps, discussions of the terrible consequences of meditation, or wanting to buy some cheese, and an account of a social interaction with God, who serves a very nice peppery Chablis. Her forté is the slightly surreal extended narrative which goes in strange directions--a bit like a cross between Victoria Wood and Eddie Izzard; Ellen Degeneres shares with both those comics a slightly worrying need to be loved.p BOn the DVD:/B the DVD comes without any features other than chapter selection; it is presented in crisp Dolby sound and a 4:3 video ratio. --IRoz Kaveney/I

October 31, 2001 sheluk84@aol.com (UK,LEEDS) 12 out of 13 found this review helpful What can I say, I'm so glad she's back and making us all laugh again.This video is a MUST for all Ellen fans! It's great the way she analyses things and makes them so funny. I find that this is not just a woman who makes people laugh in standup, but really makes you think about life and the maddiness in life, we have created. Our views on god and the thought of same sex marriges. At the end Ellen takes questions which end up with hystrical and moving consequences! This video made me laugh and cry, When taking questions a young girl thanked Ellen so much for her help in helping her 'come out', it was so unbelieably moving. br What made me laugh most? Erm, well thats a though question there were so many funny and hilarious moments it's hard to chose.I guess the abit about'The video taping sex,' was very amusing it had me crying with laughter, I guess thats why she is known as 'America's Funniest Woman!'br If you don't buy this you won't know what your missing, 'The greatest female comic of our generation! A brilliant return to stand-up October 1, 2001 Ross Horsley (Leeds, UK) 9 out of 10 found this review helpful Ellen's first stand-up performance since coming out finds her at the Beacon Theatre in New York in front of a wildly (and justly) appreciative audience. As promised, she doesn't shy away from 'the gay thing' but her jokes on the subject are subtle, clever and - of course - hilarious. That aside, the rest of her material is new too (except for the obligatory references to the horrors of plane journeys), including fantastic routines about clothing department changing rooms, sex shops, attention disorders and doing lunch with God. There's also a surprisingly moving coda which sees Ellen answering the audience's questions. (And, if there is a gripe with this release, it's that this apparently great segment isn't presented in full.)pIn all, a confident, fresh and wonderful return to stand-up from one of the people who does it best. Worth every penny, and more! July 14, 2004 6 out of 7 found this review helpful What can I say but seeing "Ellen-Live" made me laugh out loud for over an hour.pHer observations about everyday life are what made her famous and thankfully she hasn't changed her style.pShe's right up there with Eddie Izzard for laughs.pKeep watching right until the end. While the credits are rolling there are some questions from the audience, especially a very touching interaction she has with a young woman at the very end. Funny, amusing and true to life situations October 22, 2001 5 out of 6 found this review helpful This is Ellen at her best, funny and witty. Her facial expressions make the show even more amusing. In my view the interperative dance and the sketch on imagination are the best parts of the performance. The more you watch Ellen, the funnier it becomes. This should not be missed. let me give you some advise March 29, 2004 4 out of 6 found this review helpful the thing that makes us laugh the most is honesty. it's when a comedian manages to hit a button inside of you that sets off this release that you were not expecting. ellen, in this particaular dvd hits that button again and again. she is honest, clever, witty beyond words and a fabulous entertainer. so let me give you some advise...pBUY THIS DVD.
