Izzard has performed the show in France performing entirely in French, Berlin performing entirely in German and plans to learn and perform the show in Spanish, Russian and Arabic.
One of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation, Izzard’s unique, tangential, absurd and surreal comic narratives are lauded for their creativity and wit, earning him a New York Drama Desk Award and two Emmys for “Dress to Kill,” two British Comedy Awards for Top Stand-Up Comedian, and an Olivier Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement.
In the U.S., Izzard is the first solo stand-up comedian to perform at the Hollywood Bowl; has sold-out three consecutive nights at Radio City Music Hall and toured arenas throughout the U.S. including a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden.

He guest starred in the series, “Hannibal,” on NBC, starred in and served as a producer on the critically acclaimed FX Network Show, “The Riches,” opposite Minnie Driver, guest starred in the final season of Showtime’s “United States of Tara,” and his 2010 documentary, “Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story,” received an Emmy nomination.
