Eddie Izzard has been active as a comedian and actor since the early 1980s. After spending time at university in Sheffield,
Izzard moved to London with hopes of becoming an actor. Earning his living as a street artist in Covent Garden, Eddie Izzard
quickly realised that his larger than life persona and peculiar sense of humour would translate well to a career in comedy.
Izzard's first stand-up act was at The Comedy Store in London, which catalysed his journey toward stardom. Izzard cites fellow
comedian Billy Connolly as an influence and inspiration for his striking brand of humour.
Today, Eddie Izzard is a well-known entertainer, travelling the world with his tours and starring in blockbuster movies.
He's also stayed in the spotlight with the help of a few over-the-top stunts. In 2009, for instance, he ran nearly 50 marathons
in 40-odd days—a phenomenal physical feat that raised scores of money for the charity Sport Relief.
Putting love and care into his career and stand-up, Eddie Izzard illustrates that conviction, gall and a bit of folly can
give way to great success.
