Early life
Edward John Izzard was born in Aden (then Colony and now Yemen) on February 7, 1962, to English parents Dorothy Ella Izzard (1927–1968) and Harold John Izzard (1928–2018). Her surname is of French Huguenot origins. Her mother was a midwife and nurse, while her father, an accountant, was working in Aden for British Petroleum at the time of her birth. Mark, her older brother, is two years older. The family immigrated to Northern Ireland and settled in Bangor, where they lived until Izzard was five years old. The family then moved to Wales, where they lived in Skewen, Wales.
When her mother died of cancer, Izzard was six years old. While their mother was ill, she and Mark built a model railway to fill their hours while their mother was sick, which was later donated to the Bexhill Museum in 2016. Izzard attended St John's School in Newton, St Bede's Prep School in Eastbourne, and Eastbourne College following the tragedy. She has claimed that she knew she was transgender at the age of four after seeing a boy being coerced to wear a dress by his parents and that she aspired to be a comedian at the age of seven. She studied drama at the University of Sheffield.
Personal life
Izzard said she knew she was an atheist on the 2008 Stripped Tour. "I was warming the air in New York, where I realized I didn't believe in God at all one night, literally on stage." I didn't believe there was someone upstairs." "I don't believe in the guy up there, I believe in him" she has since described herself as a spiritual atheist.
Izzard keeps her personal life private, citing her companions' wishes not to be a face for her film rather than herself. However, she once dated Irish singer Sarah Townsend, who later produced the film Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story, and who Izzard first encountered while running a Fringe venue at the Edinburgh Festival in 1989.
Izzard, a Crystal Palace FC fan, has been an associate director at the club since July 16. She is also a top-model, as she is a master at train modeling.
Izzard is genderfluid, and she says she's "somewhat boyish and somewhat girlish." As an umbrella term, she uses the term "transgender" to refer to everything. "He" or "she," Izzard said when asked whether she preferred pronouns in 2019, she replied, "either 'he' or'she'" and explained, "if I am in boy mode, then he's in girl mode." She has requested "she/her" pronouns for a television show Portrait Artist of the Year in 2020 and has stated her desire to "be based in girl mode from now on."
Izzard has been identified as a transvestite in the past, and she has also described herself as "a lesbian trapped in a man's body" and "a complete boy plus half girl" in the past. According to her book Believe Me, she first cross-dressed in public at the age of 23, with the support of a lesbian friend, resulting in a verbal brawl between three 13-year-old girls who had followed Izzard home from a public toilet.
In places such as the Edinburgh Festival, she began to identify as transvestite on a public forum as early as 1992. "I don't drag it drag; I don't even call it cross-dressing," she says. It's just a dress. It's not about artifice. It's about me only speaking myself." "Women wear what they want, and so does I." She has expressed a personal conviction that being transgender is owed to genetics, and that, someday, this will be scientifically backed up. The Izzard, who is preparing for the event, has had her own genome sequenced.
Career
When Izzard and her companion Rob Ballard were at university, she began to flirt with comedies. Both performers took their act to the streets, many in London's Covent Garden district. After splitting with Ballard, she spent a substantial portion of the early 1980s working as a street performer in Europe and the United States. When doing solo escape shows, she claims she found her comedic voice by speaking to the audience. She then performed her act in the British stand-up comedy venues, performing her set at the Banana Cabaret in London's Balham district for the first time.
Izzard made her first theatre appearance at the Comedy Store in London in 1987. She refined her comedy material throughout the 1980s, beginning with improvisation in the early 1990s, including part of her own club, Raging Bull in Soho. On the televised Hysteria 3 AIDS benefit, she had her breakthrough in 1991 after she did her "raised by wolves" routine.
Although the special was selected for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Special, she received two Primetime Emmy Awards in 2000 for her comedy special Dress to Kill.
Izzard has fluent in French and has appeared in stand-up shows; since 2014, she has started to perform in Arabic, German, Russian, and Spanish, languages she did not know.
Izzard made her West End debut as the lead in David Mamet's The Cryptogram, a comedy at the London Theatre in 1994. In David Beaird's black comedy 900 Oneonta, the popularity of the role resulted in a second starring appearance. In 1995, she portrayed the title character in Christopher Marlowe's Edward II.
Izzard appeared on stage with Monty Python in Monty Python's Tribute to Monty Python in 1998 (also referred to as Monty Python Live at Aspen). She walked on stage with the five remaining Pythons as part of an inside joke and was escorted off by Eric Idle and Michael Palin when attempting to engage in a discussion about how the group came together. She appeared on stage with Monty Python as the special guest in their "Blackmail" sketch in July 2014.
In the 1999 revival of Julian Barry's 1971 play Lenny, she played comedian Lenny Bruce. In 2001, she took over Clive Owen from Peter Nichols' 1967 play A Day in the Death of Joe Egg at the Comedy Theatre. When the show was brought to Broadway in 2003 by the Roundabout Theatre Company company, Izzard and Victoria Hamilton reprised their lead roles. The revival received four Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Play, Best Leading Actor, and Best Leading Actress for its actors Izzard and Hamilton, as well as Best Direction for Laurence Boswell. In David Mamet's play Race on Broadway, she replaced James Spader in the role of Jack Lawson in June 2010.
Izzard has appeared in many films, beginning with 1996's The Secret Agent and actor Gustav von Wangenheim in The Cat's Meow and wartime radar pioneer Robert Watson-Watt in the BBC drama film Castles in the Sky. Mr Kite appears in Across the Universe, Lussurio in Revengers Tragedy, and criminal expert Roman Nagel in Ocean's Thirteen. In Five Children and It, Nigel in Five Children and It, and Reepicheep in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, she has performed the titular "It" in Five Children and It, as well as the mouse warrior Reepicheep. Izzard declined to reprise his role as Reepicheep, a role understudied by Simon Pegg in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. She has claimed that she learned how to act while on the film Circus.
Izzard was the subject of Sarah Townsend's documentary "The Eddie Izzard Story," which refers to BBC's Watchdog's coverage of "recycling evidence from an old tour."
She appeared in the BBC science fiction miniseries The Day of the Triffids, based on the 1951 novel, alongside Jason Priestley, Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson, Dougray Scott, and Brian Cox. She appeared in six episodes of Hannibal's 2013-2015 American psychological thriller television series Dr. Abel Gideon as Dr. Hatteras, a skeptical psychology professor. She appeared in the television series The Lost Symbol, based on Dan Brown's 2009 book of the same name.
Izzard awarded the gold medals to the athletes who had won the 800m T54 race, including gold medalist David Weir at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
She has appeared on a number of episodes of BBC One's Have I Got News for You and as a guest on The Daily Show. For BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week, she read excerpts from her autobiography Believe Me.
