Eddie did get a bit tired and repetitive towards the latter half of the 00s... but his 90s sets were fantastic and some of the best there ever was.

Agreed - Dressed to kill (I think it was ) and glorious are still some of my fave stand up sets.

We thought Eddie Izzard was marvellous on his earlier days .... he’s a fellow dyslexic which initially drew me to him .

He did seem to lose it all about the time he started ‘dressing’ somewhat outrageously

He's always been a transvestite, he didn't start dressing outrageously.

I don’t recall him wearing dresses and makeup at the start of his career tbh

...I love Eddie Izzard.....I read this on wiki...


‘Her stance is that the way she dresses is neither part of her performance nor a sexual fetish. She said "I don't call it drag; I don't even call it cross-dressing. It's just wearing a dress. ... It's not about artifice. It's about me just expressing myself."...’


...for me, that’s how I would also describe her ‘comedy’ as well, in that it’s more an expression of a part of her, rather than ‘an act’ of being a comedienne...she has so many interests and focuses in life and not someone who would want to be defined by one aspect of entertainment, I feel...she’s such an interesting person...

So I’m getting proper confused

Now I also love Eddie Izzard but I’m 63 so pretty old I guess .. anyways Eddie was born male wasn’t he ?

I don’t understand why people are referring to him as a ‘her’ ??

All his acting roles even portrayed men not women ..


I accept that anyone going through gender reassignment surgery would regard themselves as a male or female or whatever.


Can someone explain the situation surrounding Eddie ??!?

People are referring to Eddie as she and her because that has how she has requested to be addressed now.

Its a quite recent request I think....but obviously is how she chooses to be known as now
