Live at the Ambassadors was Izzard's first video, which for amny yeasrs was out of production and very difficult to come by.

Like Izzard's subsequent releases (Unrepeatable in 1994, Definite Article in 1996, Glorious in 1997, Dress to Kill in 1999, Circle in 2002 and Sexie in 2003), the show was recorded in just one shoot.

Ambassador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (467 words)
An ambassador, rarely embassador, is a diplomatic official accredited to a foreign sovereign or government, or to an international organization, to serve as the official representative of his or her own.
Ambassadors are ministers of the highest rank, with plenipotentiary authority to represent their head of state.
