Eddie Izzard on Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death and Jazz Chickens

In January 2018, we were joined by world-renowned comedian, actor, writer, runner, and activist Eddie Izzard. In Paris developing a brand new stand-up show (in French!), for one afternoon only Eddie Izzard swapped the comedy club for the bookstore to discuss his brilliant, moving and hilarious new book, "Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death and Jazz Chickens" with novelist Adam Biles.

Eddie is brilliant.

I remember sitting at the table next to Eddie Izzard in the cafe 2 years ago. It was the only time I ever sat next to someone I recognized as "famous" anywhere. My mum is a big fan, so I texted her to let her know. But that was all. Not really a good story, but so it goes.

I have been a fan for a while and he is brilliant. As Eddie would say "well done."

[@tomitstube]

most of us just think about doing all the stuff eddie actually does. love his theory on the universe. sounds like a good book.

[@pinkflamingo5628]

I would vote for you in a heartbeat.
Loving just having your videos playing in the background.
Appreciate the access.
I agree with everything you say because you’re a “next steps” thinker.
Have followed you for years.
Never lucky with tickets tho.
But as you might say, “fuck all, I’ll sit here in the comfy couch and watch a replay of Get Smart. They’re streaming all the episodes.” Maybe 🤗
If only you could be the President of the US 🥰🇺🇸👍🌺❤️

..."emotionally LOCKED".
Perfectly phrased, visually descriptive.

[@worryworm]

I adore your mind.

Let’s hear it for clever tangential thinkers! Izard is great. Endearing.

Awwwww, when he went all emotional about his father 😚

[@MichaelFlynn0]

[@reenierossi3724]

Great get together and I love Eddie. Did he say his dad is passing away and his brother Mark is with him?! 😯 That was in January. Hope all is well but have we heard?

[@reenierossi3724]

I asked this 4 weeks ago.
I guess I just got my answer.
Eddie's and Mark's father passed away on
May 11th.. so sad🕯

[@Nautilus1972]

His dad is well.

[@americanwoman9342]

I’m so in love with Eddie.. I have no problem with Eddie saying he is a “male lesbian”.. Whatever you want Eddie, whatever you say, I’m in love.. 💜
