Possibly. I'm not too familiar with Eddie Izzard except peripherally, but his Wikipedia entry says he "also imitates activities such as sawing wood, vacuuming, and mowing the lawn, anthropomorphizing the machines with accents and personalities", while one of Stein's most famous works is Tender Buttons: objects, food, rooms which occurs partly in the voices or capacities of furniture and household items. "A closet, a closet does not connect under the bed. The band if it is white and black, the band has a green string. A sight a whole sight and a little groan grinding makes a trimming such a sweet singing trimming and a red thing not a round thing but a white thing, a red thing and a white thing. "

I think we may have a fit!

"But I am outside of the house but my hand is in the window and my foot is in a grapefruit. As you can see from my diagram…"

Your subject line -- though when I googled it I discovered it was from an Eddie Izzard routine -- sounded first to me like it came from Gertrude Stein's weird language constructions. I suppose Eddie IzzardGertrude Stein is also a great venn diagram, itself!
