The show originally had a 4-week run, which was extended twice due to the popularity of the performance.

Live at the Ambassadors was Izzard's first show made available on VHS, which for many years was out of production and very difficult to come by.

Izzard hated her physical appearance on the show, and was also on low performance rights with the copyright owner, and thus a DVD version will never be released.

[1] In particular, there is very little evidence of her cross dressing, something that would become a major part of the Izzard 'brand' later in her career, with only simple nail varnish obvious.

However, her bizarre sense of humour has remained the same throughout performances, and various themes and ideas that can be seen in later recordings can be identified in Live at the Ambassadors such as Christian hymns (and religion in general), politics, history, cult television and wordplay/oddities within the English language.
