Edward John “Eddie” Izzard is a British cross-dressing stand-up comedian and actor who describes himself as an “executive” or “action” transvestite. His comedic style is expressed in rambling, surreal monologue. In addition to touring, he is also a television and film actor, and is active in charity work.

His stand-up work brought him British Comedy Awards in 1993 and 1996. His US breakthrough did not really come until 1999, when “Dress to Kill” was shown on HBO. The show went on to earn Izzard two Emmy Awards in 2000 for performance and writing. In a 2005 poll to find The Comedian’s Comedian, Izzard was voted amongst the top 20 greatest comedy acts ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders. He was number 75 in Comedy Central’s 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.
