Synopsis

Eddie Izzard made her West End debut in 1993 at the Ambassadors Theatre. The show was originally scheduled for a four-week run, which was extended twice due to the performance's popularity. Later released as her first video, *Live at the Ambassadors*, the show led to Izzard being invited to the Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, winning a British Comedy Award for "Top Stand Up Comedian," and receiving an Olivier Award nomination for "Outstanding Achievement." *Live at the Ambassadors* is an example of Izzard's very early and less refined style of stand-up. Her bizarre sense of humor has remained consistent throughout her performances, and various themes and ideas that appear in later recordings can be traced back to *Live at the Ambassadors*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
