Eddie Izzard

whenever I see him i laugh. Geezer in a dress

He's a very clever guy, brave as well doing all those marathons.

27 in 27 days for Sport Relief! Raised well over 2 million quid

Agreed, fantastic effort to do all those marathons. But he's no comedian. Should stick to running.

Probably started the running thing with all the punters chasing after him wanting their money back.

spot on kenny

Not as funny as Grayson Perry and apparently Grayson isn't a comedian.

GP is a thoroughly nice guy. And a brilliant artist.

Yeah they both seem like decent blokes but agree with o/p about izzard's comedy

Never spotted in the same room as Clare Balding.

Probably because people would close their eyes and leave that room immediately.

Dont rate him as a comedian . But those 27 marathons in 27 days including a double marathon on last dat.
Take me hat off to him

When he first appeared in the 90's he was very different to the rest and extremely funny and i was a massive fan, he did not really change his act during the years after, which sadly i witnessed by going to a few of his gigs, the only change is that he was a pretty male lesbian but now is a leftwing bbc granny.  such a shame.

He still did 2 great shows imo, Dressed To Kill and Definite article were brilliant but seem light years ago, cant stand him now.

Attention seeking clown IMHO.

I know someone who loved him when he first came out. I saw him live, he was ok.
Not quite my cup of tea but he's not bad either, there are far worse comedians out there.
Like for example all 3 w*nkers on "the last leg" combined aren't as funny.
