ReplyGood teachers are usually good comedians — they teach by joking about the subject they teach and keep their students ‘ attention.
ReplyStill the great Eddie Izzard! One of the greatest guests on any talk show, deeply human, funny and cuttingly intelligent.
ReplyWhat is she using on her hands?! My skin is soo dry. Love her, she did a show on genetics or ancestry and it was soo informative. Everything she does is soo good.
ReplyEvery Eddie Izzard interview is too short. Could watch her for an hour.
ReplyI am still looking for my cat’s drilling equipment.
ReplyAm I the only one seeing a potentially great Ursula from the little Mermaid?
Replyhaving such a grip on 4 different languages that you can do a successful standup show in the native country is really totally insane. very impressive
ReplyI was in London over this past holiday season, and in a span of about 3 minutes at the South Kensington tube station, ran into not only Eddie Izzard (She was very noticeable in a flashy pants suit), but also Sir Ian McClellan!
ReplyJust a very fleeting interaction with both (“Hey. I love your work.” while passing by), but both responded with a polite “Thank you”.
It was a very unexpected “brush(es) with greatness ” moment.
Eddie, come to Portugal! Pleeeeease, you can do your show in English or spanish, we don’t care! 😀
