Eddie Izzard's long-awaited full memoir - erudite, engrossing and above all very very, funny
Best-known for his cross-dressing stand-up comedy routines, Eddie Izzard was born in Yemen. After working as a street performer throughout the 1980s, he received his big break in 1993. He is the recipient of two Emmy Awards, two British Comedy Awards, a Webby and a Tony nomination. A committed activist, he received the 6th Annual Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism. He may or may not run for Mayor of London in 2020.
King of the Universe . . . Comic genius . . . Entertainment
incarnate
*Telegraph*
Izzard is Wikipedia in heels. He's made his career out of
hilarious, dizzying, surreal routines held up by their own daft
logic . . . A force of nature
*Radio Times*
Sheer Comic Genius. His humour reflects the scattershot lunacy of
Monty Python, but with a sophisticated silliness that is entirely
his own. He is the most brilliant stand-up comedian of his
generation
*New York Times*
A comedy gem
*Guardian*
Izzard has a knack for reducing centuries' worth of history to just
a few exquisite words (the Romans were just 'fascist plumbers', for
example)
*Time Out*
The funniest man in England
*John Cleese*
The funniest man in, well, pretty much all of the known
universe
*Los Angeles Times*
Izzard is fleet of foot - even in Cuban heels
*Independent*
Had the Pythons stuck it out, they'd certainly be doing Izzard-like
gags
*Chicago Tribune*
A consistent intelligence underpins Izzard's whimsy
*Chortle*
True Izzardians are every bit as committed in their fandom as Star
Trek or Dr Who fans
*Guardian*
