Eddie Izzard
Eddie Izzard appeared on the American radar with his Emmy-winning 1999 standup show Dress to Kill – where his absurd, sharp, stream-of-consciousness style of comedy was as compelling as his outfit. While never quite leaving standup, he’s also starred on stage in Lenny – about Lenny Bruce – and received a Tony nomination for his work in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. He’s been in movies such as Mystery Men and Ocean’s Twelve. And he’s the star and co-executive producer of the critically acclaimed FX TV series, The Riches, now in its second season. Faith Salie speaks with Eddie Izzard on Fair Game.
