About
Eddie Izzard is a British comedian and actor born in Aden, Yemen. The genderfluid performer got her start in sketch comedy and street performance before launching her stand-up comedy career. Known for her rambling, stream-of-consciousness monologue style and self-referencing pantomime, Izzard won two Primetime Emmys for her 2000 special Dress to Kill. The comedian’s film and TV credits include Ocean’s Twelve (2004), Ocean’s Thirteen (2007), The Riches (2007), Valkyrie (2008), Cars 2 (2011), and The LEGO Batman Movie (2017). Izzard also earned a Tony nomination for the Broadway revival of A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. In 2024, she premiered her one-person adaptation of Hamlet, which will transfer to Chicago and London following its triple-extended run in New York City.

by profxfiles on 7/9/09State Theater - MinneapolisEddie Izzard is, without question, the greatest stand up comedian of his generation. Actually, I feel calling what Eddie does "stand up comedy" does not really grasp the essence of an evening in his presence. His amazing ability to tie together what appear to be dozens of loose threads is astounding. He is capable of integrating wildly divergent cultural references (the Bible and Aliens?) without any of it feeling forced or contrived. Eddie Izzard does not go for the obvious laugh--in fact, he seems to eschew the easy routes and often pursues lines of thought that leave the audience baffled for stretched before pulling it all back together. You cannot be lazy when you see him--to do so is to miss out on what makes him a true genius in his milieu.
