Eddie Izzard
Eddie Izzard (; born Edward John Izzard; 7 February 1962), also known as Suzy Izzard, is a British stand-up comedian, actor, and activist. Her}} comedic style takes the form of what appears to the audience as rambling whimsical monologues and self-referential pantomime.Izzard's stand-up comedy tours have included ''Live at the Ambassadors'' (1993), ''Definite Article'' (1996), ''Glorious'' (1997), ''Dress to Kill'' (1998), ''Circle'' (2000), ''Stripped'' (2009), ''Force Majeure'' (2013) and ''Wunderbar'' (2022). She starred in the television series ''The Riches'' (2007–2008), and has appeared in numerous films, including ''Ocean's Twelve'' (2004), ''Ocean's Thirteen'' (2007), ''Valkyrie'' (2008), ''Absolutely Anything'' (2015) and ''Six Minutes to Midnight'' (2020). Izzard has also worked as a voice actor on films such as ''Five Children and It'' (2004), ''The Wild'' (2006), ''The Lego Batman Movie'' (2017) and the Netflix original series ''Green Eggs and Ham'' (2019). Among various accolades, she won two Primetime Emmys for ''Dress to Kill'' and was nominated for a Tony Award for her Broadway performance in ''A Day in the Death of Joe Egg''.
In 2009, Izzard completed 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief, despite having no history of long-distance running. In 2016, she ran 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa in honour of Nelson Mandela, raising £1.35 million. In addition to her native English, she regularly performs stand-up in Arabic, French, German, Russian, and Spanish, and is an active supporter of Europeanism and the European Union.
A dedicated Labour Party activist, Izzard twice ran unsuccessfully for the party's National Executive Committee and then joined as the most successful initially non-elected person after Christine Shawcroft resigned in March 2018. In 2022, Izzard attempted to become the party's prospective parliamentary candidate for Sheffield Central but was not selected in the members' ballot. In 2023, Izzard attempted to become the party's prospective parliamentary candidate for Brighton Pavilion but was not selected in the members' ballot. Provided by Wikipedia
